Description

INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • THE NEW ROBERT LANGDON THRILLER FROM THE ICONIC AUTHOR OF THE DA VINCI CODE

“A master of the brainy, twisty thriller. . . . The Secret of Secrets is perhaps his most ambitious undertaking yet: a dense thriller that is also a meditation on the nature, and the possible future, of human consciousness.”—Los Angeles Times

“So riveting you’ll want to clear your calendar.”—USA Today

 Robert Langdon, esteemed professor of symbology, has traveled to Prague to attend a groundbreaking lecture by Katherine Solomon—a prominent noetic scientist with whom he has recently begun a romantic relationship. Katherine is on the verge of publishing a breakthrough book that contains explosive scientific discoveries about the nature of human consciousness . . . revelations that threaten to disrupt centuries of established belief.

When a brutal murder catapults the trip into chaos, Katherine suddenly goes missing—and her manuscript disappears. Desperate to find the woman he loves, Langdon embarks on a thrilling race through the mystical landscape of Prague, ruthlessly hunted by a powerful organization and a chilling assailant sprung from the city’s ancient mythology.

As the action expands to London and New York, Langdon plunges into the dual worlds of futuristic science and historical lore—navigating a labyrinth of codes and symbols . . . and finally uncovering a shocking truth about a secret project that will forever change the way we think about the human mind.

    Great book from start to finish - similar to Dan Brown’s other great stories. You won’t be able to stop reading during the last few hundred pages, and the twist at the end will make you want to reread the whole book. Highly recommend!

  • Noetics used by the CIA

    i know it’s a work of fiction but the scenarios presented in the book could very well be real. The premise is: why use machines that perform surveillance when you can use the human brain? Granted you still have to plant chips inside the brain. Dan Brown gives us a good description of several major structures in Prague. Crucifix Bastion is my favorite.

  • Remarkable

    Dan Brown delivers again. Crisp story telling and his usual amount of twists and turns. Don’t be afraid of his stories. They have an undeniable ring of what just might be happening out there. Another great read. Can’t wait for his next offering.

  • Slow read

    Tough to get into and missing the edgy action of a Dan Brown book.

  • Open your mind. There is hope.

    A fine read. At first I did not understand why the golem was even in the book. Filler perhaps. Now I wonder what became of it. A real nice description of Prague and a good story. The book was so good I let it go that nobody could experience all that in two days. A should make you think and Dan Brown delivered that idea in spades.

  • Boring

    I absolutely loved this book! Dan Brown is a genius.

  • Hardly any symbology

    There’s hardly any symbology in this book. Instead Langdon now has the superpower of near photographic memory. Dan Brown has mastered suspense and action, and this book still benefits from it. Anyone hoping for historically-based puzzle solving will be disappointed.

  • Interesting, but disappointing

    Spoiler alert. The unveiling of Golem and Sasha both occupying the body of Sasha was a twist that didn’t add to the book’s goal of untethered consciousness. Any points made in favor of it was lost by that twist, and the unconscious untethered subject fizzled. Further, there were some interesting points Brown made, but I don’t believe in his universal consciousness. I give the book a two star because it did inspire some interesting thoughts for the first half or so of the book. But most of that was extinguished in the last quarter or so of the book. Brown lost his way.
