A creative man

Dan Brown is a creative man and he is the author of numerous #1 bestsellers, including Digital Fortress, Angels & Demons, and Deception Point. His acclaimed novel—The Da Vinci Code—has become one of the most widely read books of all time. Why everyone love his novels?? Because he mixed the story with religion、science and art including historic monument. In 1996, his interest in code-breaking and covert government agencies led him to write his first novel, Digital Fortress. Set within the clandestine National Security Agency, the novel explores the fine line between civilian privacy and national security. Brown’s follow-up techno-thriller, Deception Point, centered on similar issues of morality in politics, national security, and classified technology. The son of a Presidential Award winning math professor and of a professional sacred musician, Dan grew up surrounded by the paradoxical philosophies of science and religion. I think these complementary perspectives make him creative and served as inspiration for his acclaimed novel Angels & Demons—a science vs. religion thriller set within a Swiss physics lab and Vatican City. Recently, he has begun work on a series of symbology thrillers featuring his popular protagonist Robert Langdon, a Harvard professor of iconography and religious art. The upcoming series will include books set in Paris, London, and Washington D.C. And I am really looking forward to his new books.
