Quando um novo satélite da NASA encontra um estranho objeto escondido nas profundezas do Ártico, a agência espacial aproveita a descoberta para contornar uma série crise econômica e de credibilidade, gerando sérias implicações para a política espacial norte-americana e, sobretudo, para a iminente eleição presidencial. Com o objetivo de verificar a autenticidade da descoberta, a Casa Branca envia a analista de Inteligência Rachel Sexton para o local. Acompanhada por uma equipe de especialistas, incluindo o carismático pesquisador Michael Tolland, Rachel se depara com indícios de uma fraude científica que ameaça abalar o planeta com uma profunda revelação. Antes que Rachel possa falar com o presidente dos Estados Unidos, ela e Michael são perseguidos por assassinos profissionais controlados por uma pessoa que é capaz de tudo para encobrir a verdade. Em uma fuga desesperada para salvar suas vidas, a única chance de sobrevivência para Rachel e Michael é desvendar a identidade de quem se esconde por trás de uma conspiração sem precedentes.
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.
