About this listen

 From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Da Vinci Code, Angels & Demons, Inferno, and The Secret of Secrets — comes a lightning-fast thriller about an astonishing NASA discovery that uncovers a vicious conspiracy leading all the way to the White House.

When a new NASA satellite spots evidence of an astonishingly rare object buried deep in the Arctic ice, the floundering space agency proclaims a much-needed victory... a victory that has profound implications for US space policy and the impending presidential election. With the Oval Office in the balance, the President dispatches White House Intelligence analyst Rachel Sexton to the Milne Ice Shelf to verify the authenticity of the find. Accompanied by a team of experts, including the charismatic academic Michael Tolland, Rachel uncovers the unthinkable: evidence of scientific trickery — a bold deception that threatens to plunge the world into controversy.

But before Rachel can contact the President, she and Michael are attacked by a deadly team of assassins controlled by a mysterious power broker who will stop at nothing to hide the truth. Fleeing for their lives in an environment as desolate as it is lethal, their only hope for survival is to find out who is behind this masterful ploy. The truth, they will learn, is the most shocking deception of all.

In his most thrilling novel to date, bestselling author Dan Brown transports readers from the ultrasecret National Reconnaissance Office to the towering ice shelves of the Arctic Circle, and back again to the hallways of power inside the West Wing. Heralded for masterfully intermingling science, history, and politics in his critically acclaimed thriller Angels & Demons, Brown has crafted another novel in which nothing is as it seems — and behind every corner is a stunning surprise. Deception Point is pulse-pounding fiction at its best. Mystery Psychological Suspense Technothrillers Thriller & Suspense Exciting Polar Region

I feel like if the stuff that is written about in the audible synopsis doesn't happen until 7 hours into a 17 hour book, that's really a spoiler, don't you think? I would have preferred to know less going in. Otherwise, a fun, brainless thriller, though entirely unbelievable.

fun and a bit silly.

I think this Audible book would be by far the best book I’ve ever listened to and I have listened to over 440 audible books. I’m an Aussie interstate truck driver and this book would be number one. I could not get back in the Truck quick enough to listen to what was going to happen. if you’re a Dan Brown fan you’ll absolutely love this book. I take my head off to the Man that wrote this. It’s so good the suspense was next level. I really enjoyed it.

The overall concept was good but the book became so unnecessarily unbelievable that I had to only use it to get to sleep rather than follow it. The action scenes are way too long, hard to follow and boring, give it a miss.

Starts well before descending into utter fantasy
