Transworld unveils the cover for Dan Brown’s Origin

Following much online speculation about the location, jacket and content of Origin, the eagerly awaited new thriller by global publishing phenomenon Dan Brown, Transworld has released the UK jacket this afternoon (27 June 2017).

Since the September 2016 announcement of the publication, excitement has been growing for the release of the new novel featuring Brown’s unforgettable protagonist, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon, and has had fans clamouring for more information. Now for the first time, readers worldwide will discover the setting for the action as well as key elements in the forthcoming thriller.

Unfolding entirely in Spain - Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, and Bilbao, the home of the Guggenheim Museum - Origin thrusts Langdon into the intersection of two of humankind’s most enduring questions:

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 most advanced cutting edge technology available today. Transworld will publish this stunningly inventive new novel from the world’s most popular thriller writer as a Bantam Press hardback on 3 October 2017.

It will also be available as an ebook and an audiobook from Penguin Random House Audio. Origin will be published simultaneously in the US and Canada by Doubleday with a U.S. Spanish language version published by Vintage Espanol.

There are more than 200 million copies of Dan Brown’s books in print worldwide, and his novels have been translated into 56 languages. Dan Brown is the author of numerous number-one international bestsellers, including The Da Vinci Code, Inferno, The Lost Symbol, Angels & Demons, Deception Point and Digital Fortress.

Dan Brown's Origin will be published on 3 October 2017.
