The reader, a fellow traveler, simply could not savor the vapid, vacuous and utterly charmless prose of Dan Brown alone. Given the laughs which ensued, I'm glad he refused to spare the rest of us. But then, my dear reader, that does not mean that you should not spare yourself. (  ) BGP | Nov 19, 2009 | Rubbish (  ) EricPMagnuson | Nov 11, 2009 | A fast-paced gripping story only Dan Brown could write. Perfect plot, no nonsense characters, would keep you at the edge of your seat. (  ) yurioujo | Oct 11, 2009 | Another author that's style is predictable, but they are still fun along the way. (  ) AdorableArlene | Oct 1, 2009 | 
 It's an excellent thriller a big yet believable story unfolding at breakneck pace, with convincing settings and just the right blend of likable and hateful characters. He's also done his research, folding in sophisticated scientific and military details that make his plot far more fulfilling than the norm.
Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0671027387, Paperback) A shocking scientific discovery. When a NASA satellite discovers an astonishingly rare object buried deep in the Arctic ice, the floundering space agency proclaims a much-needed victory -- a victory with profound implications for NASA policy and the impending presidential election. To verify the authenticity of the find, the White House calls upon the skills of intelligence analyst Rachel Sexton. Accompanied by a team of experts, including the charismatic scholar Michael Tolland, Rachel travels to the Arctic and uncovers the unthinkable: evidence of scientific trickery -- a bold deception that threatens to plunge the world into controversy. But before she can warn the President, Rachel and Michael are ambushed by a deadly team of assassins. Fleeing for their lives across a desolate and lethal landscape, their only hope for survival is to discover who is behind this masterful plot. The truth, they will learn, is the most shocking deception of all. (retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:57:55 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
