About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
The global bestseller featuring symbologist Robert Langdon, from the author of THE DA VINCI CODE Dan Brown.
Robert Langdon, Harvard professor of symbology and religious iconology, arrives at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao to attend the unveiling of an astonishing scientific breakthrough. The evening’s host is billionaire Edmond Kirsch, a futurist whose dazzling high-tech inventions and audacious predictions have made him a controversial figure around the world.
But Langdon and several hundred guests are left reeling when the meticulously orchestrated evening is suddenly blown apart. There is a real danger that Kirsch’s precious discovery may be lost in the ensuing chaos. With his life under threat, Langdon is forced into a desperate bid to escape Bilbao, taking with him 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.
To evade a devious enemy who is one step ahead of them at every turn, Langdon and Vidal must navigate the labyrinthine passageways of extreme religion and hidden history. On a trail marked only by enigmatic symbols and elusive modern art, Langdon and Vidal will come face-to-face with a breathtaking truth that has remained buried – until now.
Critic reviews
"Fans will not be disappointed." (The Times)
"Big ideas and nonstop action." (New York Times)
"Beautifully observed and really well researched." (BBC TV)
It follows the classical Dan Bown style, the character (Dr Robert Langdon) is same, but please age him in your mind a bit as you may be seeing a young Tom Hanks. There is nothing novek Dr L does except think in symbols and images and numbers and phrases and codes....a little less than in other books as this time he has a mega supercomputer to assist him.
Dan Brown has the royalty of Spain entangled in this plot and awesome sounding Spanish locales are used for the plot to unravel.
Was I shocked with the end and what was revealed, no! But there was intrigue and suspense.
Go for it. Your credit will not be a wasted.
3 stars for the plot - But still a thriller!
