Since the dawn of civilization, humanity has sought answers regarding mortality, clinging to the hope that physical death is not the absolute end. This desire to transcend has driven nearly all religions and philosophical movements, offering the promise of a more pleasant and eternal state of existence.
The only religions that survive are those that offer a solution to humanity's main fear, death.
The plot of The Last Secret centers on professor Robert Langdon, who, accompanied by Dr. Katherine Solomon, is targeted by the powerful US CIA. The agency pursues Dr. Solomon due to her research into non-local consciousness, which suggests that the spirit is independent of the physical body.
The CIA deems this research, which posits that individual consciousness survives bodily death, a threat to national security and attempts to prevent its publication. Beyond the intrigue, the novel also serves as a detailed travel guide, as much of the action unfolds in the historic city of Prague.
Dan Brown's success is undeniable, with over 250 million books sold and works translated into 56 languages. The Last Secret, published by Planeta, is expected to confirm his consistent ability to turn his titles into international bestsellers.
