It is also revealed that Rachel’s father’s motives for wanting to dismantle NASA are less than noble, despite his claims that he wishes to redirect the public funding for the space program into education. It's as harmless as impersonating the protagonist: your eyes will move and your body will mostly be in repose. But before she can warn the President, Rachel and Michael are ambushed by a deadly team of assassins. In addition, the director of Cern soon learns that a canister filled with a type of matter that has the destructive power equal to a nuclear bomb has been stolen from Cern and hidden somewhere in the Holy See.

Unfortunately, they are quickly apprehended by the Delta Force soldiers, revealing that Pickering is the mastermind behind the attempts to kill the scientists. With help from a French cryptographer, Sophie Neveau, who takes his side, he manages to escape and together they embark on a quest to find the real killer. Therefore, there is significant political pressure placed on the team to confirm the suspicion that the meteorite remains include evidence of extraterrestrial life as it would represent a major achievement on NASA’s part and justify the current presidential administration’s investment in the space agency.Thank you for your review – it was very interesting to read your comments, Jason, but I have to disagree with some points… Your indepth analysis naturally gives food for thought and I liked how you justify the right of authors to manipulate with the factual truth. Failing to succeed, she and Rachel cooperate to replace the meteorite fiasco evidence with photos of said affair. The cast includes Ashley Zukerman ("Succession"), Valorie Curry ("Blair Witch"), Sumalee Montano ("10 Cloverfield Lane"), Rick Gonzalez ("Arrow"), Eddie Izzard ("Ocean's Thirteen") and Beau Knapp ("Seven Seconds"). Set against the backdrop of politics, science, and high-stakes adventure, Deception Point will keep you guessing until the very end.
