本書中文版《大騙局》由時報出版

  When a new NASA satellite spots evidence of an astonishingly rare object buried deep in the Arctic ice, the floundering space agency proclaims a much-needed victory...a victory that has profound implications for U.S. space policy and the impending presidential election. With the Oval Office in the balance, the President dispatches White House Intelligence analyst Rachel Sexton to the Milne Ice Shelf to verify the authenticity of the find. Accompanied by a team of experts, including the charismatic academic Michael Tolland, Rachel uncovers the unthinkable: evidence of scientific trickery -- a bold deception that threatens to plunge the world into controversy.

  But before Rachel can contact the President, she and Michael are attacked by a deadly team of assassins controlled by a mysterious power broker who will stop at nothing to hide the truth. Fleeing for their lives in an environment as desolate as it is lethal, their only hope for survival is to find out who is behind this masterful ploy. The truth, they will learn, is the most shocking deception of all.

  In his most thrilling novel to date, bestselling author Dan Brown transports readers from the ultrasecret National Reconnaissance Office to the towering ice shelves of the Arctic Circle, and back again to the hallways of power inside the West Wing. Heralded for masterfully intermingling science, history, and politics in his critically acclaimed thriller Angels & Demons, Brown has crafted another novel in which nothing is as it seems -- and behind every corner is a stunning surprise. Deception Point is pulse-pounding fiction at its best.

作者簡介

丹.布朗 (Dan Brown)

  畢業於美國菲利普.埃克塞特學院(Philips Exeter Academy),在他全心投入寫作之時,一直擔任該學院的英文老師。1996年,丹.布朗出於對從事密碼破譯工作的秘密政府機關的興趣,寫作了自己的第一部小說《數位密碼》(Digital Fortress)。而這部小說立刻成了國內首屈一指的網路小說。它以美國國家安全局(National Security Agency)為背景,探究了公民隱私和國家安全之間的界限。

丹.布朗的父親是一名曾獲得總統榮譽獎的數學教授,母親是一名職業宗教音樂家,因此,他從小就生活在科學和宗教相衝突的荒唐哲學中。丹.布朗的妻子既是一名藝術歷史學家,也是一名油畫家,她不僅和丈夫一起合作研究,還一直陪伴著他完成頻繁的研究之旅。《達文西密碼》(The Da Vinci Code) 正是夫妻倆一起到巴黎,在羅浮宮所完成。

丹.布朗另著有《天使與魔鬼》(Angels & Demons)。如布朗所言,《天使與魔鬼》是《達文西密碼》的「前傳」。在《天使與魔鬼》這本小說中,丹.布朗首度創造出羅柏.蘭登這個角色,故事描述哈佛大學符號學家蘭登去羅浮宮那趟重要造訪的一年之前,在梵蒂岡城的冒險經歷。

  Dan Brown is the bestselling author of Digital Fortress, Deception Point, Angels and Demons and The Da Vinci Code. He is a graduate of Amherst College and Phillips Exeter Academy, where he has taught English and creative writing. He lives in New England.
