Deception point : Death in countless forms

Well Dan Brown proves once again that he is among the most intelligent and dynamic of authors in the thriller genre. Deception point, by Dan brown, was the second book I read by the author, the first being Da Vinci. While the first one focused more on religion and beliefs, this one is more about science and politics. The gist of the plot is that NASA makes a monumental discovery, an evidence of an astonishingly rare object buried deep in the Arctice ice and it becomes the job of a White house Intelligence analyst(Rachael Sexton) to verify the authenticity of the find. As with his other books, Brown does an excellent job of playing the devil's advocate in conflict, this time between those interested in national security and those interested in scientific truth or knowledge. By now, I could guess though that nothing is as it seems in his books and much of the plot in Deception Point was predictable. The plot was great to read in the sense that it kept me interested enough to keep picking it up. The book also satisfied the science fiction lover in me, but did not provide any thought provoking scientific insight for the knowledge seeker in me.
