骗局(Deception Point)简介:

Struggling to rebound from a series of embarrassing blunders that have jeopardized its political life at the start of this lively thriller, NASA makes an astounding discovery: there is a meteor embedded deep within the arctic ice. And it isn't just any meteor. Inside the huge rock, which crashed to earth in 1716, are fossils of giant insects proof of extraterrestrial life. Yet, given NASA's slipping reputation, the question arises: Is the meteor real or a fake? That uncertainty dogs NASA and its supporters in Brown's latest page-flipper, a finely polished amalgam of action and intrigue. Trying to determine the truth are intelligence agent Rachel Sexton and popular oceanographer Michael Tolland, both among the first to suspect something is amiss when the meteor is pulled from the ice. Their doubts quickly make them the targets of a mysterious death squad controlled by someone or something that doesn't want the public to hear the meteor may be a fraud. Together, Sexton and Tolland scramble across arctic glaciers, take refuge on ice floes, are rescued by a nuclear submarine, then find themselves trapped aboard a small research vessel off the coast of New Jersey. All the while, the nation's capital is buzzing as to whether NASA has engaged in deception. Or is NASA just a dupe for aerospace companies that have long wanted a bigger share of space contracts? Brown (Angels & Demons) moves into new territory with his latest. 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.

  继《达·芬奇密码》、《数字城堡》和《天使与魔鬼》之后,美国悬疑惊悚小说大师丹·布朗的另一部作品《骗局》,与中国读者见面。如此,丹·布朗迄今创作的四部作品均有了中译本。
  《骗局》是丹·布朗的第二部小说,位列《达·芬奇密码》之前。小说讲述了政治家雷切尔和科学名人迈克尔的一次北极探险,在此过程中他们发现了一个惊天的科学骗局,而这又直接牵涉到国家的重大政策甚至总统竞选,于是一场追杀开始了……
  如果说《达·芬奇密码》除悬疑惊悚之外,更以绘画、宗教、音乐等“知识性因素”的融合而取胜,那之前诞生的《骗局》已经显出了这方面的某些影子,“兵器、探险、政治、航天等知识,都在《骗局》中得以真实展现。”策划之一彭伦告诉记者,《骗局》清晰显示了丹·布朗创作成长的脉络。
  美国总统大选在即,共和党总统候选人参议员塞奇威克·塞克斯顿猛烈抨击现任总统的航空航天政策,得到了大多数美国选民的支持,形势对现任总统的连任极为不利。就在这个关键时刻,国家航空航天局向总统报告了一项惊人的科学成果:他们在北冰洋之下有重大发现……这个发现对美国的航空航天政策和迫在眉睫的总统大选都意义重大。
  为了证实这项非同小可的发现,总统派遣国家勘测局的情报分析员,同时也是总统竞选对手的千金雷切尔·塞克斯顿前往冰川覆盖、气候恶劣的北极圈,与极富个人魅力的偶像型科学名人迈克尔·托兰以及几位来自不同领域的科学家一道对之进行核查。雷切尔和迈克尔意外地发现了一个不可思议的科学骗局。
  还没来得及跟总统取得联系,雷切尔和迈克尔就遭到了三角洲特种部队的几个神秘杀手的袭击。这些杀手被一只企图不顾一切掩盖真相的幕后黑手操纵。雷切尔和迈克尔开始了惊险刺激的逃亡之旅,支撑他们活下来的最后一丝希望就是要查明真相……
