In the Da Vinci Code, Langdon is an educator of religious symbology at Harvard. But, similar to the renowned academic archaeologist Indiana Jones, you rarely see him marking term papers or preparing lectures. Preferably, in this case, dressed in a tailcoat everywhere, he spends his time careering between famous buildings doing Crystal Maze-style puzzles, being chased by baddies and uncovering world-changing secrets. It's all very reassuring. As customary, our hero has a "vivacious, strong-minded beauty" despite being the future Queen of Spain, Ambra gets designated by her first name; our hero is invariable "Langdon." And the four features of his personality are all present and correct: the eidetic memory, the claustrophobia, the tendency to think in italics . And of course the Mickey Mouse watch. The novel takes place in Spain. Langdon's friend, is an Elon Muskish playboy tech wizard called Edmond Kirsch, is giving a talk at the Guggenheim where he promises to unveil the secret to life, the universe, and everything else, and he will make all the world's religions redundant at a stroke. But just as he's giving his presentation, a killer shoots him, and within the hour Langdon is on the run with Ambra in "a deadly hunt." Langdon is essentially behind Edmond's password so that they can get the presentation up and running again and change the world. But, as expected, he doesn't know whom to trust and the whole place is full of sinister conservative archbishops, secret puppetmasters, and Franco-fetishising heretical sects. There's even short mention of an eyeless Anti-Pope, which lifts the spirits. After the freaks in the previous stories , the troubled retired admiral who serves as the muscle in this the reader seems a bit beige. All is "famous," "renowned," "famed," "well known," or "celebrated," such as "the well-known American professor Robert Langdon," "the renowned 19th-century German philosopher," the "celebrated masterpiece ... by French Postimpressionist Paul Gauguin," Nietzsche, or "the museum's most famous work - El [sic] Guernica." The book is fun in its noisy manner. And the more extended the writer keeps earnestly plugging away, the more the reader warms to him. There's a charming innocence to Brown's work, primarily as rather than just produce a haunting thriller with the added puzzle, he is determined to take on the most fundamental issues of human exist
