This killer thriller drops September 9, 2025, and it marks the sixth reappearance of the legendary symbology professor, Robert Langdon. Langdon's back to crack codes that'll leave your jaw on the floor, mixing art, science, and religion like nobody's business. This time around, it all goes down in the fabulous city of Prague – a maze of symbols and secrets, perfect for a wild adventure.
This badass novel kicks off when Langdon jets off to Prague for an international conference hosted by Katherine Solomon, a mad-smart noetics scientist, and Langdon's ex-partner, romantically and professionally. She's about to unveil some groundbreaking work on human consciousness, at the intersection of science and spirituality. But on the day of the conference, shit hits the fan: there's a grisly murder, Solomon vanishes, and her manuscript gets jacked. Quickly, Langdon realizes he's smack-dab in the middle of a conspiracy that's bigger than he is.
To find Solomon and crack the mysteries surrounding her, Langdon embarks on a nutso chase that takes him from Prague's creepy Gothic twisty streets to London and New York. Along the way, he deciphers ancient symbols, fends off relentless baddies, and uncovers the truth, which might challenge everything we think we know about the human mind. Slipping in alchemy, Slavic mythology, and advanced neurosciences, "The Secret of Secrets" twists and turns like a cobra on crack.
Prague plays a major role in this story: its historic relics, dark history, and secret lore serve as the backdrop for a plot that blends contemporary science and forgotten traditions. Brown takes full advantage of iconic locations such as the astronomical clock, Charles Bridge, the Jewish Quarter, and the dungeons of the Prague Castle.
With this novel, Dan Brown delves deep into philosophical and scientific concepts. He tackles human consciousness: its limits, mysteries, and the potential hidden within our thoughts. According to the author, we're on the brink of a cognitive revolution that'll change our relationship with reality, spirituality, and even AI.
"The Secret of Secrets" is scheduled to be published simultaneously in more than 15 countries, including France, and will have a massive print run. A Netflix adaptation is already cooking, with Dan Brown himself co-creating and producing.
"The Secret of Secrets" is shaping up to be the literary event of fall 2025. With its suspense, brainy stuff, and charming locations, Dan Brown aims to prove once again that he's the master of the thriller genre.
