A shocking scientific discovery.
A conspiracy of staggering brilliance.
A thriller unlike any you've ever read....
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 task force…a private team of assassins controlled by a mysterious powerbroker who will stop at nothing to hide the truth. Fleeing for their lives in an environment as desolate as it is lethal, they possess only one hope, to find out who is behind this masterful ploy. The truth, they will learn, is the most shocking deception of all…

About the author
Dan Brown
79 books114k followersDan Brown is the author of numerous #1 bestselling novels, including The Da Vinci Code, which has become one of the best selling novels of all time as well as the subject of intellectual debate among readers and scholars. Brown’s novels are published in 56 languages around the world with over 200 million copies in print.
In 2005, Brown was named one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World by TIME Magazine, whose editors credited him with “keeping the publishing industry afloat; renewed interest in Leonardo da Vinci and early Christian history; spiking tourism to Paris and Rome; a growing membership in secret societies; the ire of Cardinals in Rome; eight books denying the claims of the novel and seven guides to read along with it; a flood of historical thrillers; and a major motion picture franchise.”
The son of a mathematics teacher and a church organist, Brown was raised on a prep school campus where he developed a fascination with the paradoxical interplay between science and religion. These themes eventually formed the backdrop for his books. He is a graduate of Amherst College and Phillips Exeter Academy, where he later returned to teach English before focusing his attention full time to writing. He lives in New England with his yellow lab, Winston.
Brown’s latest novel, Origin, explores two of the fundamental questions of humankind: Where do we come from? Where are we going?

Dan Brown vienas iš mėgstamiausių mano rašytojų ir kaip gera skaityti jo rašytas knygas...💕 pasirodo, buvo likusi dar viena, kurios neperskaičiau 🙈🤷🏼♀️☺️ tai su malonumu vėl “pasinėriau” į ją. Nors knygoje veiksmas vyksta vieną parą, bet čia taip maišosi dangus su žeme, kad tik spėk oro įkvėpti 🙈🙏🏼 👌
Kaip ir visose šio autoriaus knygose, taip ir “Meteorite” susipina mokslas, pinigai, valdžia, garbė ir žinoma kaip be romantiškų akimirkų. Man patinka ir laukiu su nekantrumu daugiau Dan Brown knygų 👏🥰

Meilės linija baisiai ne į temą, no way jie rimtai taip random įsimylėjo.
Atrodo neskaitai, o filmą žiūri. Labai patiko.

Brown'as vienas mano mylimiausių autorių. Jo knygos, nors parašytos, pagal tą patį šabloną, kurį sudaro: mokslininkas-vienas geriausių savo srityje, protinga ir graži moteris, pasauliui gręsianti problema, "netikėta" meilė, kelios žmogžudystės, persekiojimas-bent per kelias šalis, bei blogiukas, kuris visą laiką atrodė gerietis. Nepaisant to man jo knygas skaityti tikras malonumas, ir aš žinau, kad paėmusi į rankas naują knygą, nusivylusi neliksiu.
Taip buvo ir su "Meteoritu". Knyga pilna veiksmo, konspiracijų teorijų ir Brown'ui būdingų mokslinių faktų įterpimo. Personažai daug maž šabloniški, tačiau jų bendravime netrūksta ironijos ir humoro, kuris skaitymą daro daug malonesnį. Pabaiga kaip visada iš serijos "ilgai ir laimingai", tačiau kartais jų taip norisi...:) Kad ir kaip ten bebūtų lieku ištikima jo knygom ir planuoju ateityje skaityti viską ką jis parašys (dar neskaitytas liko "Prarastasis simbolis") tikiu, kad ir tos knygos nenuvils...:)

Man patiko.
Kai kas atrodė per daug neįtikėtina, kai kas - per daug akivaizdu, bet skaitėsi tikrai smagiai :)

Nors ir pats rašymo stilius kiek lėkštokas, bet užtat istorijos vingiai superiniai!
Dan Brown knyga, Dan Brown stiliumi. :)

Kai supratau, kad noriu pats kažką rašyti, turėjau perskaityti Browno knygas. Norėjau suprasti, kodėl jas žmonės myli ir nekenčia. Gera patirtis, ne veltui praleistas laikas!
