Book Review By Wayne Martini
Deception Point by Dan Brown

    Rachel Sexton, daughter of one of the candidates for Presidency is caught up in one of N.A.S.A.'s greatest scientific discoveries. Working for a super secret intelligence bureau she is recruited by the current president. The discovery could not have come at a worse time for her father, who she resents over her mother's troublesome relationship with him.
    She is transported by helicopter to the Arctic Circle to relay information back to the United States' Government about the secret discovery. Being the President's opponent's daughter she feels concern over the President's motives and his intent for sending him here without giving her superior officer reason.
    After being at the Arctic Circle N.A.S.A base trouble begins with a elite team of specialists who use the greatest technology. Uncertain of their own boss they do whatever they are commanded with no questions asked, taking out Rachel Sexton becomes one of their goals.
