Brown's latest adventure
The Star
|November 27, 2025
DAN Brown is back with a new Robert Langdon novel, the professor of symbology, who likes to swim.
And who is now in Prague with Katharine Solomon, a world-renowned noetic scientist. She is in Prague to deliver a guest lecture at the invitation of Dr Brigita Gessner.
After years of friendship Langdon and Solomon have fallen in romantic love in the City of a Thousand Spires — Prague.
Gessner, a rather unsympathetic character, has invited the pair for a drink after the lecture at the Four Seasons Hotel where they are staying, and also invited Solomon to visit her laboratory at Castle Bastion in Folimanka Park.
Solomon is about to publish a book on non-local consciousness, in fact has finessed the last draft and sent it to her publishers Penguin Random House just before the lecture. It’s an amusing quirk to put the author's publishers in a novel.
This story is from the November 27, 2025 edition of The Star.
