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.

Awesome!
Dan Brown’s The Secret of Secrets is an absolute masterpiece—the most ambitious and exhilarating Robert Langdon thriller yet, blending heart-pounding suspense through Prague’s shadowy secrets with profound, mind-expanding revelations about human consciousness that left me breathless and rethinking everything. I couldn’t put it down, devouring every twisty page in a single adrenaline-fueled rush, and it’s hands-down his best work since The Da Vinci Code (if not better).
Read it. You’ll like it
Fun read. Never great literature, but engrossing intricate tales that
connect so well. If you love Dan Brown. You will love this book
A Secret Best Kept
I felt the book read like a Prague travel guide. Way too much tourist detail. Boring and painfully long. I could not wait to finish the book and put it out of it’s (our) misery.
