Robert Langdon, esteemed professor of symbology, has traveled to Prague to attend a groundbreaking lecture by Katherine Solomon—a prominent noetic scientist with whom he has recently begun a romantic relationship. Katherine is on the verge of publishing a breakthrough book that contains explosive scientific discoveries about the nature of human consciousness . . . revelations that threaten to disrupt centuries of established belief.

When a brutal murder catapults the trip into chaos, Katherine suddenly goes missing—and her manuscript disappears. Desperate to find the woman he loves, Langdon embarks on a thrilling race through the mystical landscape of Prague, ruthlessly hunted by a powerful organization and a chilling assailant sprung from the city’s ancient mythology.

As the action expands to London and New York, Langdon plunges into the dual worlds of futuristic science and historical lore—navigating a labyrinth of codes and symbols . . . and finally uncovering a shocking truth about a secret project that will forever change the way we think about the human mind.

“A master of the brainy, twisty thriller. . . . [Dan Brown's] novels move with kinetic energy, his plots are intricate puzzles shrouded in religious iconography [and] ancient cryptography.

Brave New World of neuroscience

Dan Brown gives another intriguing and intricately formulated action adventure depicting the eternal conflict between good and evil. This time the timeless dynamic plays out in the realm of neuroscience, which is presented as being on the brink discovering answers to humanities biggest question. However, and not surprising, the amazing advancements, capable of taking our species to higher levels of understanding, become weapons in the competition for global dominance. May there always be heroic souls determined to intervene.

Well, written as usual.

The storyline kept my interest the whole time. Each twist and story was surprising and unexpected. This is typical Dan Brown.

Another wonderful work by Dan Brown

A travelogue of Prague, the book transports the reader. The storyline keeps you guessing, and the short chapters make it impossible to stop.

The beautiful history

I enjoyed everything as always thank Dan Brown looking forward to your next adventure. Have a great read.

The entertainment

Dan Brown tells a good story. But I was really hoping for more of the DaVinci code era where he weaves in so much truth with untruth that you don’t know when one stops and the other begins. This book was more of a set up that something existential would be revealed and then…wasn’t. Entertaining but not epic.
