Conspiraţia

Rachel Sexton, an intelligence analyst at the National Reconnaissance Office, is sent by the President to examine a NASA find: a meteorite buried in the Arctic ice that contains fossils of extraterrestrial life. With the scientist Michael Tolland and others, she travels to the Milne Ice Shelf, where she begins to suspect the discovery is faked and that people are willing to kill to hide it. Dan Brown mixes politics, an election campaign, and a Delta Force team hunting the group across the frozen landscape.

A fit for readers who like short chapters, cliffhangers, and plots built around science and government secrets. It makes a fast, light read for a long trip.

Practical, outward-looking, growth-minded, clear-cut and escapist; an easy read.

Best for readers like The Practical Optimizer. Which reader are you?
