Description

THE #1 WORLDWIDE BESTSELLER FROM THE ICONIC AUTHOR OF THE DA VINCI CODE AND THE NEW ROBERT LANGDON THRILLER, THE SECRET OF SECRETS

“Impossible to put down.” —The New York Times

“Thrilling and entertaining, like the experience on a roller coaster.” —Los Angeles Times

Famed Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon answers an unexpected summons to deliver a lecture at the U.S. Capitol Building. His plans are interrupted when a disturbing object—artfully encoded with five symbols—is discovered in the building. Langdon recognizes in the find an ancient invitation into a lost world of esoteric, potentially dangerous wisdom.

When his mentor, Peter Solomon—a long-standing Mason and beloved philanthropist—is kidnapped, Langdon realizes that the only way to save Solomon is to accept the mystical invitation and plunge headlong into a clandestine world of Masonic secrets, hidden history, and one inconceivable truth . . . all under the watchful eye of a terrifying enemy.

    Loved the book….until about thirty pages from the end. Too drawn out. Took away from a very interesting book.

  • My take.

    The bait and twist, love & attraction, science and religion…..all playing into a great Crescendo in the music and motion of life. Well written and always enticing plots! Tres Bien!!! Dan Brown

    Thanks for the scientific & historical research👍👍👍

  • Misogynistic and too many errors

    Of course a fantastical work of fiction will be, well, fiction, but it should at least be accurate when describing a real place. You can’t see the Jefferson from Memorial Bridge, you can’t go South on 15th St, and so many more! Also, the book quietly drives home the point that the world’s greatest knowledge is accessible to and preserved by MEN through exclusively male institutions (Masons, the church for so long, lists of only male scientists, philosophers, etc). Finally, the “threat” driving so much of the plot is weak at best, and that’s where Brown finally lost me. **spoiler alert** Protecting a bunch of privileged mostly white men, in my mind, is not a national security issue.

  • Great Read!!!!

    Easy to read and follow. Very informative and interesting. I recommend reading this book!

  • Best Book in the Series

    I thought I didn’t remember much of this book, but once I got going, it all started coming back to me. The book is so good, and part of that is this time around Langdon is fighting for friends, people he actually has relationships with and knew before the events of the book. That might make this book the best one in the series (although, admittedly, I haven’t read Origin yet).

  • Captivating read until the end

    By Jack marino
    Most of the book is very good with an enthralling storyline that holds your interest. The last 70 or 80 pages are a philosophical ramble that doesn’t make much sense. The book seems to lose its train of thought or maybe just spends too much time proselytizing the author’s theory on the human mind and its Potential to transform man into God.

  • Incredible series

    One of the greatest book series of the century for sure.
