Hello!
Like I said before, I've been reading many books by Dan Brown. In this post I'll be reviewing his most recent book Origin. This is the fifth book in the Robert Langdon series.
When Harvard professor Robert Langdon is invited to one of his former student's presentations, he does not expect the night to go totally haywire. Edmond Kirsch, who claims he has had a breakthrough in finding the origin of the universe and the future of the human race is killed in the middle of his presentation...before his discovery is revealed.
With his life in danger, Langdon and Guggenheim Museum Bilbao's director Ambra Vidal are on the run to solve the puzzle Kirsch has placed before them, with the help of Kirsch's incredible artificial intelligence, Winston. Meanwhile, the future king of Spain, Prince Julian, and close friend of the king, Bishop Valdespino, have gone missing...
Could this have something to do with the mysterious visit Kirsch paid to three prominent religious figures recently, and the murders of Rabbi Yehuda Koves and allamah Syed al-Fadl?
And what is the discovery that Edmond Kirsch has made?
Set in Spain, Origin has a good pace and while the 'destination' part of Kirsch's discovery was a bit predictable, even without the book, I did appreciate the idea of the 'origin' and 'purpose' behind the whole universe.
Dan Brown has written the Robert Langdon books, including The Da Vinci Code, Angels and Demons, Inferno and The Lost Symbol and well as the standalone novels Deception Point and Digital Fortress.
As with The Da Vinci Code, I recommend this book for ages 12 and above.
