Deception Point is a 2001 mystery-thriller novel by American author Dan Brown. It is Brown's third novel. It was published by Simon & Schuster.
The novel follows White House intelligence analyst Rachel Sexton's involvement in corroborating NASA's discovery of a meteorite that supposedly contains proof of extraterrestrial life, resembling the ALH84001 case. The discovery comes at a time close to the United States presidential election in which her father is running. The discovery will aid the campaign of her employer, the incumbent president of the United States, Zachary Herney, but put her further at odds with her already estranged father, Senator Sedgwick Sexton, a senator who is running for election. Sexton, accompanied by a team of experts, must uncover the authenticity of the meteorite which will either make or break the campaign of President Herney.

It was an entertaining read, but nothing amusing. I think Brown's later works are way better.
So memorable that it took me forever to realise I'd read it already.
What I have to say about Dan Brown's books is that they are pretty fabulous yarns. Deception Point builds in intensity beyond the believable. It annoys me that the author deliberately misled his readers: a flaw that I find unforgivable. I believe it is the responsibility of the author to be honest with the readers - an occasional omission might be forgiven, but what he did here... tsk tsk tsk.
event though some people not like it, but for me this book is good enough to make me curious for what happen next
