Onder het poolijs ligt iets wat de wereld voorgoed kan veranderen...

Een NASA-satelliet doet een opzienbarende ontdekking op de Noordpool. Dat is een opsteker voor de ruimtevaartorganisatie, die al tijden onder vuur ligt. Ook voor president Zach Herney betekent de vondst goed nieuws: een tweede termijn in het Witte Huis lijkt in zicht.

De president vraagt Rachel Sexton, analiste bij de inlichtingendienst NRO, na te gaan of de vondst authentiek is. In allerijl vertrekt ze naar het noordpoolgebied om het werk van een team wetenschappers, onder wie de charismatische oceanograaf Michael Tolland, te controleren.

Maar na Rachels aankomst neemt de zaak een onverwachte wending. Het 'bewijs' lijkt minder rotsvast dan gedacht. Voor de president gewaarschuwd kan worden, begint een nachtmerrie op het poolijs. Een speciale eenheid maakt werk van zijn missie: koste wat kost voorkomen dat de waarheid uitkomt...

Work Description

Deception Point is a 2001 mystery-thriller novel by American author Dan Brown. It is Brown's third novel. It was published by Simon & Schuster.

The novel follows White House intelligence analyst Rachel Sexton's involvement in corroborating NASA's discovery of a meteorite that supposedly contains proof of extraterrestrial life, resembling the ALH84001 case. The discovery comes at a time close to the United States presidential election in which her father is running. The discovery will aid the campaign of her employer, the incumbent president of the United States, Zachary Herney, but put her further at odds with her already estranged father, Senator Sedgwick Sexton, a senator who is running for election. Sexton, accompanied by a team of experts, must uncover the authenticity of the meteorite which will either make or break the campaign of President Herney.

Contains:
Deception Point [1/2]
