Dan Brown is the author of numerous #1 international bestsellers, including Origin, Inferno, The Lost Symbol, The Da Vinci Code, Angels & Demons, Deception Point, and Digital Fortress.
"Fans of The Da Vinci Code rejoice! Professor Robert Langdon is
again solving the mysteries of the universe."
—People Magazine
"A brisk new book that pits creationism against science, and is
liable to stir up as much controversy as The Da Vinci Code did. In
Origin, the brash futurist Edmond Kirsch comes up with a theory so
bold, so daring that, as he modestly thinks to himself in Brown’s
beloved italics, “It will not shake your foundations. It will
shatter them.” Kirsch is of course addressing The World, because
that’s the scale on which Brown writes. Brown and serious
ideas: they do fit together, never more than they have in
Origin."
—Janet Maslin, The New York Times
"Origin asks the questions Where do we come from? Where are we
going? They are questions about humanity--but they could just as
easily be questions about Robert Langdon. The Mickey Mouse
watch-wearing, claustrophobic, always-near-trouble symbology
professor is back in Dan Brown’s latest book. And just like he was
in his original exploits (Angels & Demons and The Da Vinci Code),
Dr. Langdon is once again wrapped up in a global-scale event that
could have massive ramifications on the world’s religions. As
he does in all his novels, Brown[‘s] extensive research on art,
architecture, and history informs every page."
—Entertainment Weekly
"Entertaining . . . Loyal fans of his globetrotting symbologist
Robert Langdon will no doubt be thrilled with the fifth book in the
series."
—USA Today
"Dan Brown is once again taking on the big questions: God and
science and the future of the world. Origin is a familiar blend of
travelogue, history, conspiracies and whodunit, with asides on
everything from the poetry of William Blake to the rise and fall of
fascism in Spain."
—Associated Press
"The bestselling author of The Da Vinci Code is back with a new
book that looks to the future. Origin features many of Brown’s
signature themes. An evil, Catholic-adjacent cult, in this case the
Palmarian Church, is behind some murders. Gems from art history are
the key to solving the mystery. [And] if the reader is in it
for the thrill and the twist, the faithful will be glad to hear
that there’s a Da Vinci Code-esque background to Robert Langdon’s
mission."
—The New Republic
