Origin is Dan Brown‘s latest book on the Robert Langdon series. It features the story of Edmond Kirsch, Langdon’s friend and former student, a forty-year-old billionaire and futurist whose dazzling high-tech inventions and audacious predictions have made him a renowned global figure. He is set to present an astonishing breakthrough that is supposed to change the course of history and religion forever by answering two of humanity’s biggest questions. However, the night won’t go as expected, and is up to Langdon and two unlikely allies to make sure that Edmond’s voice isn’t silenced.

If you are a fan of Dan Brown‘s work, you’ll definitely like this one. It has the same essence as his other novels. However, this time the story is much lighter on action and it much more “static”, unlike other books that had our favorite professor constantly moving from one historical location to the other, from one puzzle to the next, with multiple plot twists and mysteries along the way.  Origin‘s story is much more focused.

I will say that this one isn’t my favorite book on the series. That accolade still goes to “Inferno“. Nonetheless, I still enjoyed a lot. So much that it was worthy of a 400 page binge session.

All in all: good book, looking forward to Robert Langdon’s next adventure.
