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 audiences 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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Intellectual fuel.... [The Secret of Secrets is] a wistful testament to the power of the printed word.” —New York Times

“Like so many things that are insanely popular.... Brown’s thrillers look easy to imitate but aren’t. He shatters dramatic moments into shiny, irresistible shards.... Dan Brown clearly had fun writing his new book. It’s contagious.” —Washington Post

“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. The Secret of Secrets is perhaps his most ambitious undertaking yet: a dense thriller that is also a meditation on the nature, and the possible future, of human consciousness.” —Los Angeles Times

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.

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.

The struggle of consciousness.

Storyline and delivery are superb. Descriptions and development are surprising and intriguing, challenging the status quo.

Interesting read, lots of fun

Enjoyable read with a fun bit of information to get you thinking about things in other ways.

Science intertwined with humanity

I loved the story. The reader was excellent except when the Golem spoke. It was so quiet compared to the rest that I often had to rewind and turn up the volume. The accents were great, tho. Being a Christian, I would have liked Kathryn to come closer to accepting the idea of a soul, but perhaps the author leaves that to the reader. As is always the case, I love Dan Brown's work.

It felt real... plausible

Having read/heard this story makes me question how much we know about consciousness. It makes me wonder about actual research and how much of the story Dan Brown invented.

ANOTHER GREAT ADVENTURE BY DAN BROWN…

As always, I enjoyed this book by Dan Brown. He always makes me question how we, the average citizen, REALLY knows what is going on in the scientific world and/or in conjunction with the government (or with OTHER governments).

This book makes one seriously think about how the brain functions, how much we actually use its potential, how much is untapped and most especially, about what may be coming in the very near future.

Having said that, I often find myself while listening/reading Mr. Brown’s wanting to yell, “In plain ENGLISH please!” and “GET TO THE POINT ALREADY!!!”

I often wonder if Mr. Brown just likes going on and proving how smart he (and the people who help him write his books are). People this brilliant could be seriously INSUFFERABLE if they let themselves be.

I enjoy far more the chases of the characters around scenic places and the interaction between characters minus ALL the scientific stuff. The scientific stuff IS necessary to story development, but there could be a WHOLE LOT LESS OF IT without taking away from the characters or the overall story.

I’m on Chapter 100+ and there are still five hours left in the book! I enjoy science, but a lot of the scientific stuff is above the understanding of your average bear (me). I’m by no means stupid, but unless you have a huge, deep interest in the scientific world, the book can be tedious. Too much detail and too many words to explain it all. After a while I found my eyes glazing over and my mind wandering…

I don’t mean to sound critical — I know Mr. Brown and his researchers do an ENORMOUS amount of work before the book is ever published, and I truly do appreciate that fact.

Overall, despite my complaints, I would recommend this book to others.👍

The details are amazing

I've long been a fan of Dan Brown. waiting 8 years for this book was worth it!

An interesting take

Dan Brown has given one of the most intriguing characters on the written page. Robert Langdon and his knowledge of symbolism has romped across the globe yet again
A rather startling proposition in the book and it makes you wonder because of how much he researches if this is actually closer to truth than we know or is it out there science fiction
