Publisher Description

#1 WORLDWIDE BESTSELLER • "Dr. Langdon is once again wrapped up in a global-scale event that could have massive ramifications on the world’s religions. As he does in all his novels, Brown[‘s] extensive research on art, architecture, and history informs every page." —Entertainment Weekly "Fans of The Da Vinci Code rejoice! Professor Robert Langdon is again solving the mysteries of the universe." —People Magazine Robert Langdon, Harvard professor of symbology, arrives at the ultramodern Guggenheim Museum Bilbao to attend the unveiling of a discovery that “will change the face of science forever.” The evening’s host is Edmond Kirsch, a forty-year-old billionaire and futurist, and one of Langdon’s first students. But the meticulously orchestrated evening suddenly erupts into chaos, and Kirsch’s precious discovery teeters on the brink of being lost forever. Facing an imminent threat, Langdon is forced to flee. With him is Ambra Vidal, the elegant museum director who worked with Kirsch. They travel to Barcelona on a perilous quest to locate a cryptic password that will unlock Kirsch’s secret. Navigating the dark corridors of hidden history and extreme re­ligion, Langdon and Vidal must evade an enemy whose all-knowing power seems to emanate from Spain’s Royal Palace. They uncover clues that ultimately bring them face-to-face with Kirsch’s shocking discovery…and the breathtaking truth that has long eluded us.

"I must begin my review by stating the story was good!However, the story was long and too detailed in parts. It raised some interesting questions concerning science/religion, but was too lengthy and circuitous in moving the story along. It would have been very likely that< had this been a physical book, I would have not finished. As an audio book, I'm glad I did get through it!The narration was OK, but not up to my experience with previous Audio Book Store "books". While portraying gender differences well, little differences were made for each character - except the AI."

Quotes

  • “Narrator Paul Michael dazzles in this latest Dan Brown thriller featuring symbologist Robert Langdon…Michael’s narration provides a tone of erudition that complements Brown’s signature blend of art, architecture, history, and thriller. Michael’s inspired vocal work adds further texture, though Winston, surprisingly, outshines most of the human characters.”

    — Entertainment Weekly

  • “A brisk new book that pits creationism against science and is liable to stir up as much controversy as The Da Vinci Code did…Brown and serious ideas: they do fit together, never more than they have in Origin."

    " Dan Brown is the best author and his books are full of knowledge. Science is unfolded in his books with help from past knowledge about human believes and symbols. Intricates that make each new topic so descriptive that no encyclopedia is necessary. He just breaks it down Perfectly!!! "
