The intriguing scene here in the book is Dr. Hannibal Lecter. He has a unusual appearance, with deformed limbs, but his expertise in psychiatry is unparalleled. He has a bizarre ability to impale and decapitate his victims by eating their flesh,  reputation for being a cannibal. He is housed with other inmates with mental problems as well. While in prison, he just reads medical journals, magazines, etc. Because of his knowledge, he has some unexpected visitors, mostly investigators and medical practitioners, that need his expertise. And due to his obscure character and record of escaping prison cells, he was assigned with a personal warden who ensures that there was no chance that Dr. Lecter can escape while he was his guard. There was always a space between the corridor and Dr. Lecter’s cell, and anything to be passed and given was put into a tray and slid through a small slit in his cell.

After some time  Dr. Lecter, due to his good behavior was transferred to another prison facility. Losing his vigilant warden, Dr. Lecter plans to escape. The FBI was still in need of his services, and a roll of events leads to the capture of the suspect but unfortunately Dr. Lecter escapes jail and eludes police. With Dr. Lecter ending a fugitive, the book ends. Maybe there’s a sequel and I will tell you about it if i found it.

In all of his novels Dan Brown always claims that all of the institutions and technologies in his books were facts, which is really intriguing. The story of the “Deception Point” is set on a surprising NASA discovery of a massive meteorite trapped in the icecapsof Greenland. There after scrutiny by world’s top scientists, they verified that it was a genuine meteorite and in their surprise, contains signs of life; glowing phytoplankton and a fossil of a 2 – foot long mite which they recognize as “extraterrestrial”.

The thriller here is the chain of events, includes the pursuit of elite American Delta Force operatives to the main character Rachel Sexton, and her colleagues. The connection of the meteorite “discovery” to the ailing and underfunded NASA and the fore coming U.S presidential elections, and its links to little known american government agencies such as National Security Agency (NSA) and National Reconnaissance Office which has its own sinister motives that makes the title of the novel the “Deception Point”.

I am pretty sure that reading the novel will make you ravish chapter after chapter. Just a bit of advice, please do first verify the information you read before believing it or you may end up supporting our conspiracy guys’ theories out there. Please don’t be a sucker like them.
