Robert Langdon, Harvard professor of symbology, arrives at the ultramodern Guggenheim Museum Bilbao to attend the unveiling of a discovery touted to change the face of science forever, but when the meticulously orchestrated evening suddenly erupts into chaos Langdon is forced to flee . . .

Pitting creationism against science, Origins explores age-old debated questions such as: Where did humanity come from?  Where is the future of the human race headed? in a familiar blend of travelogue, history, conspiracy, and whodunit.

"Dr. Langdon is once again wrapped up in a global-scale event that could have massive ramifications on the world’s religions.  As he does in all his novels, Brown's extensive research on art, architecture, and history informs every page." -- Entertainment Weekly
