New details on next Brown book

- — Agatha French

“The Da Vinci Code” author Dan Brown on Tuesday revealed some informatio­n about his forthcomin­g novel, “Origin,” the fifth book to feature his signature character, Robert Langdon.

Brown’s publisher, Doubleday, unveiled the cover of his latest thriller, which is set for publicatio­n on Oct. 3, and disclosed for the first time the setting of the novel: four cities in Spain.

The announceme­nt was accompanie­d by a YouTube video. The book trailer f lashes the names of Madrid, Seville, Barcelona and Bilbao, with an enigmatic message at the end: “Where do we come from? Where are we going?”

“In keeping with his trademark style, Brown interweave­s codes, symbols, science, religion, history, art and architectu­re with a decidedly fresh twist: The art is modern, and the science taps into the coolest, cutting-edge technology available today,” Doubleday said in a news release.
