Deception Point by Dan Brown

This was recommended and donated by Mrs. Treacy.  Although this is a Dan Brown novel, it is not part of the Langdon series.  I liked Digital Fortress by Brown, so when Mrs. Treacy said she liked it, I took it out after it was added into the collection. 

This is a political mystery/thriller.  The current president is lagging in the polls behind a senator.  Said senator has made the dismantling of NASA one of his top priorities.  It just so happens NASA has made a HUGE discovery--a meteorite deep in the Arctic ice containing fossils of creatures not found on Earth. 

The senator's daughter, who works in intelligence, is recruited to make the announcement, along with several civilian scientists with expertise in meteorites/geology/chemistry/etc. 

But someone isn't telling the whole truth. 

I don't want to spoil too much, but this is a guessing game as to who is tricking whom and about what.  It definitely kept me guessing.

This will be back on the shelf later today if you are interested.

I'll be on hiatus from reviewing here for a bit as the holidays approach and I have an SLJ assignment.  Look for my next blog post after the new year!
