As the child of a mathematics professor and a Christian church organist, I’ve always been fascinated with the interplay between science and religion—two different languages attempting to answer life’s most profound questions,” said Brown. “These contrasting viewpoints are central to my novels, and I’m thrilled to be collaborating with the Boston Museum of Science on this thought-provoking project, which explores these captivating topics through the uniquely immersive experience of the planetarium." But who ultimately is behind the fake meteorite? Is it the embattled President fighting for his political future? Senator Sexton, the President’s main opponent, and Rachel’s father, a fierce critic of NASA in favour of privatised space exploration? Is it Lawrence Ekstrom, the besieged NASA Administrator, fighting to secure the future of NASA and repay the President’s faith in the struggling organisation? Or Marjorie Tench, the President’s fiercely loyal aide, who is eagerly anticipating the impact this discovery will make towards destroying their opponent.

The American President, wary of another potential NASA error, dispatches Rachel Sexton to the Arctic to investigate the evidence first hand. Sexton is a trusted Intelligence Analyst, as well as the daughter of his biggest political rival, and her confirmation of the finding will be received as an objective assessment.

This 2001 non-Langdon novel is one of Brown’s finest, breaking new ground and moving out of his comfort zone. The Guardian says that although Brown’s vocabulary in the novel is somewhat limited, this should not detract from the thrill of the read.
