Description
The spellbinding new Robert Langdon novel from the author of The Da Vinci Code.
Robert Langdon, Harvard professor of symbology and religious iconology, arrives at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao to attend the unveiling of a discovery that “will change the face of science forever”. The evening’s host is his friend and former student, Edmond Kirsch, a forty-year-old tech magnate whose dazzling inventions and audacious predictions have made him a controversial figure around the world. This evening is to be no exception: he claims he will reveal an astonishing scientific breakthrough to challenge the fundamentals of human existence.
But Langdon and several hundred other guests are left reeling when the meticulously orchestrated evening is blown apart before Kirsch’s precious discovery can be revealed. With his life under threat, Langdon is forced into a desperate bid to escape, along with the museum’s director, Ambra Vidal. Together they flee to Barcelona on a perilous quest to locate a cryptic password that will unlock Kirsch’s secret.

I am heavily impressed with the vast exploration and details and research work done for this. It must not have been easy for the author considering the kind of details mentioned in the book about biology, physics, technology, religion and art.

Another masterpiece of the king of historical techno religional thriller novels none other than Dan Brown. Though I can say Robert Langdon’s previous books were superior (Angles and Demons, The Da Vinci Code, The Lost Symbol and Inferno) but Origin is also a milestone in this fantastic series. Robert Langdon is breathtaking as ever and Winston was hard to resist to love. Dan Brown is supreme person of thriller-writing. I wonder how he does it. A must read novel for intellectual thriller lovers.

A classic book. Very different from all books I have read. A great read which is unputdownable. Dan Brown continues his tradition of writing books which gives the readers an unique experience.

Great book with a gripping plot of Science vs Religion and a series of events that keeps you engrossed in the book making this one difficult to put down.
This plot is based in Spain predominantly around Barcelona and Dan Brown does a great job at capturing the details of the architectures and geography.
if you have enjoyed reading Angels and Demons and The Da Vinci code. You would really enjoy this book.

Came super quick – print and book quality are ok (not glossy tho’). I’d read the same book 4-5 months ago when in UK and the paper quality was better there but so was the price 🙂 As for the content, you can guess it as even after reading the book once, I didn’t think twice about buying it for myself! Love these L. Langdon books – ideas may seem far fetched but if it’s interesting it doesn’t really matter!
