Description

INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The world’s most celebrated thriller writer and author of The Da Vinci Code returns with his most stunning novel yet—a propulsive, twisty, thought-provoking masterpiece that will entertain readers as only Dan Brown can do.

Robert Langdon, esteemed professor of symbology, travels to Prague to attend a groundbreaking lecture by Katherine Solomon—a prominent noetic scientist with whom he has recently begun a relationship. Katherine is on the verge of publishing an explosive book that contains startling discoveries about the nature of human consciousness and threatens to disrupt centuries of established belief. But a brutal murder catapults the trip into chaos, and Katherine suddenly disappears along with her manuscript. Langdon finds himself targeted by a powerful organization and hunted by a chilling assailant sprung from Prague’s most ancient mythology. As the plot expands into London and New York, Langdon desperately searches for Katherine . . . and for answers. In a thrilling race through the dual worlds of futuristic science and mystical lore, he uncovers a shocking truth about a secret project that will forever change the way we think about the human mind.

    Enjoyed the story line and surrounding dialogue The story line gives us food for thought. To a great extent comfort in our dreams. Certainly possibilities.

  • A good, yet long, read

    Strong characters and good story line. Was long, and got pretty granular and long-winded with the science details, but very informative about brain science.

  • A Book for our Times

    This book reads like consciousness itself! Takes you into what is not only possible but happening now! My own powerful OBE experiences, my own soul guidance and now we can begin to release fear of death to know our immortality continues as we just take another adventure within our consciousness! I love this book! MaryLinda

    So the book wasn’t horrible…but it wasn’t great. I found myself struggling to stay engaged in it and it is one that after reading you simply forget other than the time wasted reading it. It was “ok” till the final few chapters at which point the secondary character Katherine made the assertion that being addicted to a screen,device or social media is possibly “ spiritual evolution “ at that point I was done with the book. It’s a shame the author has done so well with the rest of the series this simply was a failure.

  • 终于读完，so so但依然期待下一部

    By SamuelLing1991
    终于看完了这本700页的小说，从中看到了太多之前罗伯特·兰登系列里的人物、设定和桥段，甚至最后CIA的设定还有《数字城堡》中的影子，也总觉得Golěm和Silas这样的灰色人物有异曲同工。 布拉格确实是个迷人的地方，作为一本新的旅游攻略书确实很不错，很期待能走遍布拉格的这些地方。 全书后半段确实比较冗长，像Solomon书稿上百页参考文献一样一次次论述“意识”“死亡”相关的概念和论断。一些在其他几本小说中比较精彩的配角，在这本书中工具色彩比较重。最后关于CIA的“使命”确实充斥着老套的好莱坞大片立场，无处不体现了美国人眼中的“历史观”和“世界观”。 总之，挺一言难尽的。继续期待他的新作品，但是相比《天使与魔鬼》还是差得太远。

  • Ponderous page turner

    3
    By wynbee
    Probably 200 pages too long, but still a decent page turner . Part action, part travelogue and part pseudo scientific - it is reasonably entertaining if you skip the almost forced scientific sections. Not one of his better books.

  • As good as The Davinci Code!

    By NRBarr
    Not only was the book enthralling, but the subject matter was intense and enlightening. I’ll never forget what it revealed to me. Awesome book. I recommend it to anyone.

  • Bloated and Lack of Imagination

    2
    By Fastprof
    I never thought that I would find a Dan Brown novel tedious. But this one is. Lacking the excitement of puzzle solving in Angels and Demons or the Da Vinci Code, the only thing that save this bloated book from one star was its nifty description of Prague’s geography and history. Other than that, the text only underscores the impossibility that Prof. Langdon is capable of structured thinking. All the out-of-body consciousness drivel from his girlfriend that he characterizes as brilliant. So sorry to have spent 600 pages trying to find a kernel of the old Dan Brown.
