Publisher's Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

The global best seller - Origin is the latest Robert Langdon novel from the author of The Da Vinci Code.

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.

Dark religions depart and sweet science rains

Good book. Difficult to say it's better than Da Vinci code but surely you will enjoy the way Dan Brown infuses the legacy and history with future and technology.

you ask and Dan Brown delivers

has all the typical Dan Brown elements: an intriguing start, mysterious killings, heart racing chase scenes and visually and intellectually fascinating unknown trivia. this one is not as fast paced or as nail biting as the rest of the books in this series. however, the revelation is absolutely mind blowing, not just from the plott's perspective but from an intellectual stand as well

Awesome presentation for a rather boring book

awesome rendition and presentation. unfortunately, this is one of the worse Dan Brown books I have read/tried on Audible. slow, drawn out and just impossible to finish.

Great blend of fiction and architectural facades

As usual, Dan Browns novels grip me not only with the story but the accurate facts of the architectural buildings and monuments. I loved this book

Amazing Narration!

Great engaging narration. A story at an appropriate time to highlight the influence of AI and how it is changing the world for both good and bad.

Disappointed

Unlike other works of Dan Brown this novel is not upto the mark. author has done a lot of research work but fails to build a good plot.

Plot similarities to many writers and movies

The chase was ordinary. the antagonist was lacklustre and there was nothing for a Robert Langdon fan to celebrate about. There were no symbols to be interpreted or codes to be cracked. Overall it was a lacklustre story with a predictable ending.
