I actually made it to the library! Now I am reading the book Deception Point by Dan Brown.
In the prolugue a geologist is dogsledding and he is confronted by men who tell him to transmit a strange message on his radion. For some reason unknown to us they take him into their helicopter and push him out when they are at a high altitude.
As the book begins it follows Rachel Sexton at a diner. She is there to meet her father: the presidential hopefull Sedgewick Sexton. He called her to the meeting to try and persuade her to work for his campaign. Rachel does not want to leave her job because she has worked hard for it. The story switches to that of a army team in the arctic. The team has been observing a building for 10 days and apparently something big is going to happen there. The reason why the team is observing the building is unknown but I predict we will soon know why they are there. The story switches back to Rachel as she goes to the NRO(the national reconnaissance office). We find out that Rachel's job is to sift through intel and report what is relevent to the president to him. When Rachel arrives at William Pickering's (the NRO director) he tells her that she has been directly requested by the president for a personal meeting with an unknown subject. The president sent a helicopter and Rachel gets in it. Delta one(the army guy) sends in his microbot to eavesdrop on the building and when he does he finds everything is the way he expected it. Rachel arrives at Wallops island and gets out of the chopper. She gets onto Air Force One as directed.
I like this book it is a fast read.

This book reminds me of the beginning scene of National Treasure when they are exploring Antarctica for the missing ship. You seem to be into Dan Brown books, I might read the Da Vinci Code soon.
