WHOEVER YOU ARE, WHATEVER YOU BELIEVE, EVERYTHING IS ABOUT TO CHANGE

Bilbao, Spain. Robert Langdon, a professor of symbology and religious iconology at Harvard, visits the Guggenheim Museum to attend the announcement of a significant discovery that is set to change the face of science forever.

The host is Edmond Kirsch, a forty-something billionaire futurist, known for his amazing, high-tech inventions and provocative predictions that have made him globally famous. Kirsch, who was one of Langdon's first students at Harvard twenty years ago, is about to reveal an astonishing achievement that will provide answers to two of the most fundamental questions about human existence.

But the evening quickly spirals into absolute chaos, Kirsch's discovery is at risk of being lost forever, and Langdon is forced to flee Bilbao along with Abra Vidal, the beautiful director of the museum, seeking refuge in Barcelona in an attempt to locate the hidden access code that will unlock Kirsch’s secret.

Through dark corridors of hidden history and extreme religion, following traces of modern art as well as enigmatic symbols, Langdon and Vidal must escape from a tortured pursuer, who appears to have powerful allies within the Spanish Royal Palaces, and who will stop at nothing to silence Kirsch.

Dan Brown's most imaginative and brilliant novel.
