It\u2019s been eight years since Dan Brown published Origin, the fifth novel in his best-selling Robert Langdon series.<\/p>\n
The novels about the Harvard symbologist, especially 2003\u2019s The Da Vinci Code, have proven to be widely popular, selling over 120 million copies worldwide.<\/p>\n
Tom Hanks starred as Langdon in three movies based on the thrillers and now the sixth novel has finally been announced today by the author himself.<\/p>\n
Appearing on Good Morning America, Brown shared that the new book will be called The Secret of Secrets and will be published worldwide on September 9.<\/p>\n
In a short clip, which you can watch above, the author explained why the new book has taken him so long to write.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Brown said: \u201cI can now tell you that The Secret of Secrets is by far the most intricately plotted and ambitious book that I have ever written. And I happen to think that it\u2019s the fun. I cannot wait to share it with you on September 9.\u201d The author will be interviewed on the novel live on Good Morning America on publication day.<\/p>\n
The novel begins in Prague with Langdon planning to see a lecture by Katherine Solomon, a scientist and love interest of his. That is until her talk turns into a murder scene, and she disappears. According to Doubleday publishers: “As the plot expands into London and New York, Langdon desperately searches for Katherine… and for answers. \u201cIn a thrilling race through the dual worlds of futuristic science and mystical lore, he uncovers a shocking truth about a secret project that will forever change the way we think about the human mind.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
In a statement, Brown added: “I happen to believe we are on the cusp of a major revolution in the way we think about our brains and our relationships to each other,\u201d he said. \u201cCutting-edge science is now exploring advanced models of consciousness that seem poised to explain some of the mind\u2019s deepest mysteries. I chose this topic because I find it irresistibly compelling, and also because it is relevant to every single one of us.\u201d<\/p>\n
