I have found that a predictable "big twist" is fine, as long as there are lots of unpredictable "little twists" along the way. This book has those aplenty and that is what makes it such a compelling read. (  ) hankreardon | Dec 30, 2009 |  Excellent hard to put down book. Only Brown book better has Tom Hanks playing the lead. (  ) woodwin | Dec 26, 2009 | Good yarn (  ) chicjohn | Dec 3, 2009 | Who done it in the Arctic ( ) Nancy.Mosholder | Nov 30, 2009 | 2005 (  ) katiemertz | Nov 20, 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.
