"Nature was once the core. For all of us."
When Dan Brown first published The Da Vinci Code way back when, he probably had no idea just how popular it - and Robert Langdon - would become. Bolstered by the performance of Tom Hanks, the series continues in Origin, a Spain-based novel filled with the usual Brown ingredients: mystery, fast-paced chases, and some added information for tourists and historical students alike. And at the end, it's Langdon against an unseen foe yet again. What more do you need on a rainy fall afternoon?
Robert Langdon, Harvard professor of symbology and religious iconology, arrives at the ultramodern Guggenheim Museum Bilbao to attend a major announcement—the unveiling of a discovery that “will change the face of science forever.” As the event begins, Langdon and several hundred guests find themselves captivated by an utterly original presentation, which Langdon realizes will be far more controversial than he ever imagined. Navigating the dark corridors of hidden history and extreme religion, Langdon and Vidal must evade a tormented enemy whose all-knowing power seems to emanate from Spain’s Royal Palace itself . . . and who will stop at nothing to silence Edmond Kirsch.
