Robert Langdon is at it again—fleeing from his pursuers in the dark of night, in the company of a stunning and intelligent female accomplice, in a battle against time to make sure that truth wins and evil is vanquished. That is the basic premise of every Robert Langdon book. It’s a bit tiresome, but it’s also irresistible. The science, art, and architecture tie-ins are always fascinating to me. Brown goes modern in this novel—the action opens at the Bilbao Guggenheim and takes place largely in Gaudi’s Barcelona. I found the chase more interesting than the revelation at the end, but I will probably pick up the next Dan Brown novel featuring Robert Langdon again, if there is one.
