Okay but a Hetalia/Da Vinci Code crossover with aph Prussia as Silas.

"The Gospel of Mary Magdalene is like a hidden cipher, a fragment of truth buried beneath centuries of silence. It paints a picture of a woman who wasn’t just a follower but a leader, entrusted with secrets Jesus shared with no one else. Reading it, you feel the tension—Peter’s jealousy, Andrew’s doubt, and Mary standing firm, recounting visions of the soul’s escape from the chains of this world. It’s a story that upends everything we’ve been told about the early church, hinting at a sacred feminine that was erased to consolidate power. This isn’t just a text; it’s a rebellion against the forces that tried to bury Mary’s legacy. You can almost hear her voice across the ages, demanding we uncover the divine spark she knew was within us all."

Dan Brown.

And, his Robert Langdon series.

I remember reading “Digital Fortress" at the lobby of Hotel Ramada from the common bookshelf, barely completing the book in three days while my stay with my family in Shanghai, China. Read the rest of it via a pdf I found online because it just sticks to you. Brown would go with his recipe of conspiring the heck out of the literary world with his work. It's not the first Langdon series book, but it really caught my attention and I wanted to explore more of the series.

Each a separate plot, an individual storyline of its own. I came home and bought "Origin" read it and then purchased "Da Vinci Code" (the actual best), and so on. Still deficit of "Angels and Demons"- which I'll hopefully buy next, and get a hardcopy of "Digital Fortress" and my collection would be complete. The art mentions are major in his works, mentioning real landmarks, real organisations and controversial truths, in the form of a blockbuster mystery high speed pursuit style of the novels. His fascination with the paradoxical interplay between science and religion really makes you think. Raises a lot of questions you didn't bother thinking about before. His play with words show how literature is conceptualized, created and which mixture of elements makes works and genres unique. All in all, a 10/10 Author for me.

The Holy Grail ‘neath ancient Roslin waits. The blade and chalice guarding o’er Her gates. Adorned in masters’ loving art, She lies. She rests at last beneath the starry skies….
