  3. Had not realised that Dan Brown had been working on another of these crazy Robert Langdon novels. As unrealistic as they all were, was always fun to read them. 😁

    Books Book Reviews Fiction Nonfiction Summer reading

    Dan Brown clearly had fun writing his new book. It’s contagious.

    Robert Langdon is back in “The Secret of Secrets.” Prepare for 600 hilariously hectic pages of murder, mayhem and New Age murmuring.

    September 9, 2025, 6 min, Review by Ron Charles

    In 2003, if you made the mistake of confessing — say, at a barbecue — that you reviewed books for a living, the other men on the patio would look at you piteously until one of them thought to ask, “What did you think of ‘The Da Vinci Code’?”

    More than two decades on, the magnitude of Dan Brown’s success is still hard to quantify without using exponential math or to justify without succumbing to despair. He has enough copies in print for every adult in the United States to own one, which you can confirm by checking the coffee table in any Airbnb.

    Like so many things that are insanely popular — Crocs, Nutella, MrBeast — Brown’s thrillers look easy to imitate but aren’t. He shatters dramatic moments into shiny, irresistible shards.He lures us in with a layer of intellectuality as deep as the honey glaze on an Easter ham. And in book after book, we’re rushed through perilous crises involving esoteric knowledge that somehow threatens the entire world. With Brown, everything everywhere all at once is at stake — the church, social order, Western civilization — which makes your clogged gutters feel momentarily less urgent.

    The last time we saw Brown’s fit, nerdy hero — Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon — was eight years ago in a mind-bogglingly silly book called “Origin.” In that story, Langdon dashes around Spain trying to track down a dead billionaire’s PowerPoint presentation that “boldly contradicted almost every established religious doctrine.”

    Brown’s latest thriller, “The Secret of Secrets,” tweaks that reliable formula only slightly, but through some occult alchemy, his New Coke is better than the old brew.

    This time around, we’re in Prague. Brown surveys its Gothic beauty, medieval history and Kafkaesque mystique like Rick Steves on a 24-hour layover. Langdon has come to the City of a Hundred Spires to cheer on his older but stunningly beautiful new girlfriend, Dr. Katherine Solomon, last seen in “The Lost Symbol” (2009).The night before the novel opens, Katherine delivered a mesmerizing lecture about her work in noetics, the science of human consciousness.

    In his new book, author Dan Brown tackles the ultimate mystery

    September 9, 2025, 4:27 PM ET, Heard on All Things Considered

    By Scott Detrow, Tyler Bartlam, and Jeanette Woods
    5-Minute Listen Transcript

    Author Dan Brown is known for storylines that delve into myth and conspiracy theories. His new book — The Secret of Secrets — tackles the ultimate mystery: human consciousness.

    SCOTT DETROW, HOST:

    Robert Langdon is back in action, the dashing and brilliant Harvard professor who has a knack for wandering into situations where he unearths big philosophical questions and at the same time gets chased around by bad guys who do not want those questions answered. Langdon is, of course, the recurring main character in author Dan Brown’s thrillers “The Da Vinci Code,” “Angels & Demons” and many others. In Brown’s latest novel, “The Secret Of Secrets,” Langdon has traded the mysteries of Christianity and the mysteries of Freemasonry for the even bigger mystery of the nature of human consciousness. Dan Brown, welcome to ALL THINGS CONSIDERED.

    DAN BROWN: Thanks for having me.

    DETROW: So this is by my count your sixth book starring Robert Langdon. How has he changed over the years?

    BROWN: (Laughter) Well, he’s aging much more slowly than I am, I’ve sensed.

    DETROW: (Laughter).

    BROWN: You know, this book took eight years to write. And Langdon, who is always – he’s always skeptical about all things conspiratorial and paranormal and all that sort of stuff. And in this book, he is sort of dragged out of his comfort box by a noetic scientist named Katherine Solomon. And he becomes a believer in aspects of consciousness that to most of us, myself included, seem quite out of this world.

    DETROW: I want to ask about the topic of the book. How much were you personally thinking about these big questions of consciousness? Was that how the book started out? Is that something you were wrestling with or wondering about and wanting to learn more about?

    BROWN: Absolutely. I mean, it’s no secret I like to write about big, sweeping, important topics, you know?

    DETROW: Yeah.

    BROWN: There really is no topic bigger, that I can imagine, than consciousness. It’s the lens through which we see reality, see ourselves, see our interactions with other people. And I wrote the character Katherine Solomon maybe 10 or 12 years ago as an ancillary character in another book, and she was a noetic scientist. And through the research for that book, I started to learn about noetic science. And some of these mind experiments who have results that are simply – you cannot believe them. You hear what the result is and you say, that’s impossible. And you read more, and you find out that reality is a much stranger thing than we ever imagined.

    DETROW: For those of us who aren’t as familiar, can you briefly explain noetic science?
