Langdon did not read Hebrew well, but these three letters were legendary. They spelled EMET, and when etched on a forehead, their meaning could never be mistaken. Truth...
The Golěm of Prague.

An even bigger reason? Langdon could not imagine what additional motivation the CIA could have to destroy Katherine's manuscript. Her book reveals a new top secret CIA technology. Game, set, match...

This is a veritable pharmacy of psychedelic substances... Katherine felt dumbfounded as she stared into the refrigerator at the staggering array of potent drugs.

His primary concern was for their safety... and figuring out why Katherine's book was in the crosshairs of the CIA.
Those answers lie inside Threshold.

She shook her head with frustration. "I don't know. All I can say is the facility has a code name. They call it Threshold."

"There are only two paths," the wind whispered in the trees. "Truth or Death." The Golěm had already made his choice. I choose both.

Inside the Baroque Library, Langdon scanned and rescanned the faces of the crowd of visitors, finally accepting that he had arrived here too late. She's gone.

Langdon realized that his decision to enter the Mirror Maze might just have saved his life. Maybe the universe was right after all.

The note The Golěm had just placed at the door had sparked the desired reaction. If all went to plan, Robert Langdon would soon be rushing off alone to a deserted location. Fear is motivational.

As if on cue, a lithe pair of Siamese cats materialized at the far end of the hallway and padded toward them. Langdon crouched down to pet them, and they hurried over for attention.

If there had ever been a moment to shout Archimedes's exclamation "Eureka!" this was it, but instead Langdon moved silently to the keypad.

I will not rest until all are punished.
The Golěm knew of only one way to accomplish that.
I will destroy everything they have created.

The winter air felt crisp and invigorating as Robert Langdon ran southward along Křižovnická Street. The city of Prague had always felt enchanted to him. It was a moment frozen in time.

Robert Langdon awoke peacefully, enjoying the gentle strains of classical music from his phone's alarm on the bedside table.

When I get to my last callback, I try to forget that there are a million people just like me walking around in this concrete jungle, hoping that their lives are on the brink of change. Relax, I think.

Santi's surprised me at Ellen's today, so he's sitting at the counter and I'm turning my face away from my customers like I don't work here at all when they call me over or have a question.

I've heard envy is just a sign pointing you toward what you want in life. If that's the case, then it seems what I want most in the world is to Freaky Friday into Jacey's body.

Turns out that working at Ellen's is harder with a brace on.
I can barely pick up a plate without being reminded of my circumstances.

Ellen's is on a corner, and I can hear the staff performing from down the block. I'm racing up Broadway, weaving in and out of tourists with their eyes and fingers pointed toward the sky.

I'm singing and waiting tables at Ellen's Stardust Diner. It's a kitschy '50s-themed restaurant in Times Square full of singing servers and a nauseatingly large menu of American classics.

It will all be over soon. They tried to reassure themselves at night when they looked out over the city, saw the torchlight and cannon fire burning bright.

Robin gazed at the curve of Babel against the moonlight, he had a sudden, very clear vision of the tower in ruins. He wanted it to shatter. He wanted it to, for once, feel the pain that had made possible its rarefied existence. "I want it to crumble."

Bumpy cobblestones, painful jostles. Get out, walk. He obeyed, unthinking. They pulled him from the carriage, tossed him in a cell, and left him to his thoughts.

So that was the goal of the night: to shift the engines of history onto a different track. Things were not as helpless as they seemed.

"Do you think I'm evil?" he asked. "Don't be ridiculous." "You've been saying that a lot." "You've been ridiculous a lot. But you're not evil."

Robin turned back to the waves. He took another breath and closed his eyes, trying to imagine how he might feel if he really could erase the past week. He'd be exhilarated, wouldn't he?
