Deception Point

The keywords were all there - NASA, meteorites, NRO, Ice shelf and finally White House. I must confess these were solely responsible for me picking up this book by Dan Brown. And I am glad I did. Though a lot of stuff like snow and desert rifles - kind of an on-the-spot ammunition - clearly seemed futuristic at best, I aint complaining :-) Just loved every minute of reading it!

The Wikipedia mentions an interesting nugget about the code that is found at the end of the book. Do check it out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deception_Point

Oh and BTW though the book just passingly mentions the ghost of Abraham Lincoln haunting the White House, it amused me no end that Winston Churchill was among those who actually cited the ghost!
