Rate this book
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

78 books114k followers
Dan 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?

Ko želi uzbudljiv i napet roman od prve do poslednje stranice neće pogrešiti ako uzme da čita romane Dena Brauna. Sigurno je najpoznatiji po romanu Da Vinčijev kod, ali mu je i roman Tačka prevare podjednako dobar, da ne kažem dobar do ludila.

I zaista, već posle desetak, petnaest stranica ulazite u mašinu sa ogromnom centrifugom. Ne znate gde se nalazite, a Den ne usporava ni sekund, sve do poslednje stranice. Utoliko je zanimljivija knjiga jer je jedan od aktera i predsednik Sjedinjenih Američkih Država. Kako ići protiv predsednika? Da li je on deo zavere? Da li je on osmislio prevaru da uveća svoj rejting kod naroda pred izbore?

Tačka prevare mi je definitivno jedan od boljih romana Dena Brauna koji sam pročitao i baš volim kad naiđem na ovakav roman, kad mi prosto ne dozvoljava da ga ispustim iz ruku. A tek prevara. Rekao bih da je sjajan posao pisac uradio istraživši sve i servirajući nam ovako. Definitivno jedna od boljih knjiga koju je napisao. Rame uz rame sa Da Vinčijevim kodom i Poreklom.

Na početku nas autor obaveštava da sva tehnologija i pojedine organizacije koje se spominju u knjizi zaista postoje. Nakon pročitane knjige meni ostaje pitanje koliko toga zapravo postoji i koliko je tehnologija zaista napredovala a krije se od očiju javnosti iz raznih razloga. Nažalost, verovatno nikad nećemo sve saznati.

Ono što mi je glavni utisak o ovom romanu je da imam utisak kao da sam gledao film. Toliko sam bio uzbuđen i previše napet u pojedinim scenama koje sam čitao da sam jedva čekao da pročitam svaki naredni red, ali se povremeno i pribojavao istog. Žao mi je što ovaj roman nije pod malo većim reflektorima, jer je pravi primer jedne teorije zavere pune akcije.

Volela bih da naprave film po ovoj knjizi. U centru priče je NASA, kao i ovih dana, ali u knjizi NASA je u opasnosti, jer mnogo se finansira, ali ne donosi nikakve rezultate. I gle čuda, NASA je pronašla meteorit duboko u ledu Severnog pola, Artika.

"Odličan triler!"
To su bile dve reči s kojima sam opisao ovu knjigu odmah nakon što sam je završio - tada nisam znao da će proći skoro godinu dana pre nego što napišem čitavu recenziju.
Kada je reč o ovakvim knjigama, vreme koje protekne obično utiče na smanjenje ocene. Razlog leži u tome što se uzdudljivi akcioni trileri oslanjaju na tzv. "wow" efekat - kraj knjige je obično jako zanimljiv i ostavlja čitaoca zadovoljnim. Ipak, sa prolaskom vremena, čitalac shvata da ono što je pročitao nema neku dublju težinu i da je reč o običnoj knjizi za zabavu.
Dao sam ovoj knjizi 4 zvezdice, i ostaću pri toj oceni, iako bi lako mogao da je svrstam i u kategoriju sa tri. Sećam se kvalitetne zabave koju mi je pružila u vreme dok sam je čitao - a sećam se i većine likova i radnje, što je znak da ipak nije potpuno bezlična.
Kao triler, ova knjiga ispunjava sve potrebne uslove - ima znatnu dozu misterije, neočekivane obrte i čita se brzo. Ništa spektakularno, ali prilično kvalitetna razbibriga :)
