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.

origin submitted by rjsjwilliams on June 27, 2018, 2:45pm kind of a mixed up book, difficult to follow for me at least

Fantastic submitted by melissahimich on July 8, 2018, 6:31pm Like all other Dan Brown books, I couldn’t put this one down. I love how much research he puts into his writing and it’s always so interesting.

Fantastic novel submitted by srocco on August 13, 2018, 9:19pm If you are a fan of Angels and Demons or Inferno, this one is right up your alley. The story is amazing and he leaves you guessing all the way to the very end. I could not put this one down!

Origin submitted by Sarahcaps on August 10, 2020, 12:02am We've loved the Langdon series. This one was a little different, but good. I loved the twist, as always. Page turner. Slightly disappointed in the ending...

Guessing till the end submitted by hiker15 on August 23, 2020, 12:44pm My favorite part of this book was the referencing of the Winston Churchill quote, which I had never heard before "Success is the ability to go from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm!"
