Origin by Dan Brown

Origin (Robert Langdon, #5) 

Not quite as good as his other symbol-filled books, but this one does give you pause more about where we are going rather than the Origin of where we came from. There is a lot of secrecy about these two questions, centering on a big announcement about what a scientist has discovered/predicted about the future of the human race. When you finally get to the big reveal, it is not as earth shattering as I expected, but much more plausible - which might even be scarier, really. I love Robert Langdon, and the introduction of Winston in this book was fun and, um, interesting. Set in Barcelona and including the Sagrada Familia basicila as an important location was a bonus. Forget where he's been (some nice references to Langdon's past adventures are sprinkled in), I have to wonder about where Langdon himself will show up next!!!

Note - pay close attention to the flap of this book - therein lies a code....... clever!!!
