Since Dan Brown is a master at bringing a city to our fingertips through his detailed descriptions and thorough research, which place or culture would you like to see next? I was thinking somewhere in Asia this time. Probably Japan or China or even India!

I would like to have a Dan Brown book set in India. Japan is a good idea too.:-)
I hope he stays in Europe, the art and the religious symbolism from there is much more interesting to me.It's what I know and grew up learning about, so part of what makes his books interesting to me is the new ideas he has about these things and the way he weaves a different story around/about them.
Russia seems to be good bet...he can explore a good controversy there I suppose!
I know only France and Italy when it comes to art. would Greece be an interesting place?
Greece would be cool. Could implement more mythology, maybe Homer's Illiad/Odyssey. Great deal of art in Greece.
India is a place where a lot mysteries can be taken into account.And Dan Brown will do a great job in expressing and explaining it.
I think Greece, Russia or India would be great settings. So much could be done with the cultures in those countries
I'd say somewhere international that he hasn't touched on yet. Asia, Greece, India, Russia---all great ideas. Also somewhere in the Middle East, Egypt, or Africa.Oddly, the first one the popped into my mind is in the US: if he could tie in to the Georgia Guidestones (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia_... The Georgia Guidestones: America's Most Mysterious Monument) that could be a fun one.
Egypt, Africa, Middle East area would be cool. Maybe there can be a search for the Garden of Eden? Maybe?
Tibet or Antarctica...
My vote would be in Eastern Europe - perhaps Budapest or Prague. Lots of hisory, art and architecture in these locales to spin a good Langdon yarn.
Africa would be cool, especially if he could tie in something to do with pandora's box which would then include Greece as well
The Bermuda triangle
in mexico cabrones!
I would like to see a book based on the ancient history and intrigue of Mesopotamia and the history of Babylon. It was a city with ideas much superior to the other civilizations of the time. Also the mysteries of the dynasties of China and Marco Polo. There was much art and mystery that surrounded both of these places.
I'll prefer Russia or the erstwhile Soviet bloc countries.
I agree! How about finding the Garden of Eden? or doing something with the Pyramids? Finding the real Eye of Horus?

I only hope that the setting of his next book is critical to the story. I felt that A&D, DVC and TLS were all set in their respective locations out of necessity, but Inferno not so much. I felt that Florence was critical, but Venice and Istanbul were forced into the story. My opinion of this is expressed here with no mincing of words LOL. Spoilers.http://www.murderlab.com/2013/07/infe...

Gloria wrote: "I agree! How about finding the Garden of Eden? or doing something with the Pyramids? Finding the real Eye of Horus?"I love this idea of the Garden of Eden.
Mexico was also mentioned and that could be an interesting idea with the Aztec civilization.
How about in Hell and in it, he could put all the false Christains currently running about with a change of names, naturally. He could structure it according to Dante`s 7 circles or any other of the medieval theologians` vision of Inferno.As for Licha`s suggestion, I reside in Mexico and I would be upset if Dan Brown equally screwed up Aztec history. He doesn`t get the past down pat.

It would be nice to see him do something else beside Europe.
Using the Garden of Eden as the central premise of the story would truly make it fiction as it would have been summarily destroyed in the great flood. However, it would be consistent with Dan Brown's bastardizing of the truth.
DAN BROWN if you ever read this, I would like you to go back to writing a Thriller. I have read all your books. I rate them in this order Deception Point, Digital Fortress, Di Vinci Code, Angels and Demons and the last ones were so bad I don't care which comes first. Every time I have suggested someone to read Deception Point, they have come back and said "This was a fantastic book."
I think DD should be made into a movie but NOT DIRECTED by Ron Howard.
Ron Howard should use better cinematographers. The Dan Brown he did had highly deficient visuals.
The Vesuvius Isotope is very Dan Brown-like (or so I'm told) and set in Italy and Egypt...a modern-day thriller asking ancient questions. Cleopatra plays a central role.The Vesuvius Isotope
Far away from any place, any book, any group, any idea, in fact, any thing that actually exists as he cannot help but twist the truth, historical and/or literal facts. Can't he find his own plot or story instead of messing around with those of people/authors far superior to him.
India or Pakistan. That'll make him feel as if he has come around the globe.
Kudos, Jen. He is a charlatan and purposely confounding the truth.
India! its such a major historical and religious and symbolic place-it will give him all the needed monuments as well as a cool setting!
John wrote: "Egypt, Africa, Middle East area would be cool. Maybe there can be a search for the Garden of Eden? Maybe?"nice idea...
India or Asia definitely.he has revolved to much around europe.
I vote for Egypt or ... wait for it ... North Korea. Now that would be interesting.
Peru. Maybe he could write about the secrets of the Incas.
John wrote: "Egypt, Africa, Middle East area would be cool. Maybe there can be a search for the Garden of Eden? Maybe?"Langdon in a pyramid... yes please
Egypt sounds awsome but I'd like Langdon in India too..
How about Africa? Nobody ever writes about Africa. Italy, France, Masons, Illuminati...it's all been beaten to death. I'm over it. Lets do something BRAND NEW.
I'd love to see an Eastern European location. Vienna, Austria. Prague, Czech Republic or various places in Russia.
Well you may be in luck. Dan Brown recently vacationed in Prague.
I agree with the Mexico Idea. Lots of cool symbols in the Aztec ruins I'm sure he could make use of.
If we are keeping to the Religious theme, Haiti would be a good choice!
