Naturally, things aren’t quite what they seem, what with the small band of Delta Force soldiers secretly watching the NASA encampment. At the outset of the story, Rachel is whisked off to a spot somewhere near the Arctic Circle where NASA is trying to recover a meteor with what looks like fossils of extraterrestrial life on it from underneath two hundred feet of ice. The fact that she works so closely with the president has made for no small amount of tension between her and her father, of course. Protagonist Rachel Sexton, the senator’s daughter, works for the National Reconnaissance Office, where she digests information into reports used by the White House. Herney is a staunch supporter of NASA, while Sexton has been using the expensive, mistake-prone, and nonprofitable agency as a convenient whipping-boy in his stump speeches. Incumbent President Zach Herney is fighting for his life in an upcoming election against the slick and slippery Senator Sedwick Sexton. A mostly tedious third technothriller from the author of Angels and Demons (2000), etc.
