The United States President is suffering miserably in the polls and his opponent, a charismatic senator with lucrative connections, is by far the front runner. The President's star child, NASA, keeps fumbling projects with failures and over-budget fiascoes that give his opponent the opportunity to make NASA the poster child for what's wrong with government. Things seem dismal until a meteorite with hidden secrets is discovered above the Arctic circle.Recommendation: This book, like another of Dan Brown's books, The Da Vinci Code, will grab you from the beginning and not let you go. Brown weaves the topics of politics, deception, science, and exploration into an unpredictable novel that will keep you in suspense until the end.
