Humankind has been searching for answers to two most important questions- where have we come from and where are we going? Origin aims to answer both.
Dan Brown is back with a new novel in Robert Langon series. This time the setting is Spain. Billionare futurist Edmond Kirsch has made a discovery which he claims will revolutionize the world and shake the very roots of religion. He organizes an event in a museum being attended by 400 vip guests from all over the world and which will be telecast live all over the world. but in the middle of the presentation, Kirsch is killed.
Robert Langdon and museum director Ambra vidal who is engaged to the crown prince of Spain are on the run trying to bring Kirsch’s discovery to the world which will be lost otherwise. There are people out there who want the discovery to be buried for their own vested interests. It seems that these people are getting help from the royal palace of Spain itself. Will Langdon uncover the discovery? Who killed kirsch? what was the discovery?
The questions will keep you glued to the book till the end. The book is entertaining, intriguing and fast paced. It is well researched and have detailed information about modern art, theories regarding origin of man and artificial intelligence. I found the book better than Dan Brown’s previous book Inferno.
