Fleeing for their lives in an environment as desolate as it is lethal, they possess only one hope, to find out who is behind this masterful ploy. The truth, they will learn, is the most shocking deception of all…

About the author
Dan Brown
79 books114k followersDan Brown is the author of numerous #1 bestselling novels, including The Da Vinci Code, which has become one of the best selling novels of all time as well as the subject of intellectual debate among readers and scholars. Brown’s novels are published in 56 languages around the world with over 200 million copies in print.
In 2005, Brown was named one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World by TIME Magazine, whose editors credited him with “keeping the publishing industry afloat; renewed interest in Leonardo da Vinci and early Christian history; spiking tourism to Paris and Rome; a growing membership in secret societies; the ire of Cardinals in Rome; eight books denying the claims of the novel and seven guides to read along with it; a flood of historical thrillers; and a major motion picture franchise.”
The son of a mathematics teacher and a church organist, Brown was raised on a prep school campus where he developed a fascination with the paradoxical interplay between science and religion. These themes eventually formed the backdrop for his books. He is a graduate of Amherst College and Phillips Exeter Academy, where he later returned to teach English before focusing his attention full time to writing. He lives in New England with his yellow lab, Winston.
Brown’s latest novel, Origin, explores two of the fundamental questions of humankind: Where do we come from? Where are we going?

一本丹布朗的書，到最後一定都有一個意想不到的大魔頭，就好像公式一樣，雖然可稱老套，但確實為此書帶來高潮。
本書不像前幾本丹布朗的書，有那麼多的解密。但是有更多的科技相關知識（我想應該是真實，書開頭有提到），雖然有時有點冗長，讓我想快速閃過，但是不得不承認他的確描述很詳盡。
裡面提到的政治，有種深刻人心的感覺，雖然我不太相信美國總統有沒有人那麼好，但是在裡面的鉤心鬥角感覺就像是真實發生一般。
總體而言，我覺得算是可以推薦，但是也沒有到非看不可那種感覺，喜歡丹布朗的請見諒，畢竟我家也是有購買一整套他的書，也算是忠實讀者吧？

和《数字城堡》有较为相似的反转，整体惊悚效果还不错，灰色人物、价值牺牲都有探讨，不过还是更喜欢罗伯特·兰登系列。

的确是早期的作品，算不上成熟。里面人物的刻画过于极端了。几个主角也不算讨喜。
感觉一般，分了很长时间才看掉。
