Praise for The Secret of Secrets “Intellectual fuel.... [The Secret of Secrets is] a wistful testament to the power of the printed word.” —New York Times “Like so many things that are insanely popular.... Brown’s thrillers look easy to imitate but aren’t. He shatters dramatic moments into shiny, irresistible shards.... Dan Brown clearly had fun writing his new book. It’s contagious.” —Washington Post “A master of the brainy, twisty thriller.... [Dan Brown's] novels move with kinetic energy, his plots are intricate puzzles shrouded in religious iconography [and] ancient cryptography. The Secret of Secrets is perhaps his most ambitious undertaking yet: a dense thriller that is also a meditation on the nature, and the possible future, of human consciousness.” —Los Angeles Times “Brown’s talent for assembling research is also evident in this novel’s alter ego as a guidebook to Prague, whose history and attractions are described in great and glowing detail.... There’s no shortage of action, derring-do, explosions, high-tech torture machines, attempted and successful murders, and opportunities for split-second, last-minute escapes.... A standout in the series.” —Kirkus Reviews Praise for Dan Brown “Dan Brown is the master of the intellectual cliffhanger.” —Wall Street Journal “Brown is a master of the breathless, puzzle-driven thriller.” —Richmond Times-Dispatch
