Dan Brown, the best-selling author of 'The Da Vinci Code' and 'Angels & Demons' is bringing his hero Robert Langdon back.

'Origin' will be published in 2017 by Doubleday. It will be Brown's fifth novel featuring Langdon, a Harvard professor of 'symbology' with a knack for uncovering vast religious conspiracies.
The book announcement comes a month before the release of the movie 'Inferno,' the adaptation of the fourth book in Brown's series. The film stars Tom Hanks as Langdon.
In a news release, Doubleday promises Brown's next book will deal with 'codes, science, religion, history, art and architecture,' similar to the themes of his previous Langdon novels.

'Origin' thrusts Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon into the dangerous intersection of humankind's two most enduring questions, and the earth-shaking discovery that will answer them,' Doubleday writes.
Brown introduced Langdon in his 2000 novel 'Angels & Demons,' but it was the mega-bestselling novel 'The Da Vinci Code,' released three years later, that made the character a household name and spawned legions of imitators. Brown brought Langdon back in 'The Lost Symbol' (2009) and 'Inferno' (2013).
The books have sold more than 200 million copies worldwide. Doubleday will publish 'Origin' on Sept. 26, 2017.

The movie adaptations of the Robert Langdon book series have been released in the wrong order. The order of the books is 'Angels & Demons', 'The Da Vinci Code', 'The Lost Symbol', and then 'Inferno'. But when it comes to the movies, The Da Vinci Code was filmed and released before Angels & Demons and Inferno will be next while The Lost Symbol hasn't been adapted yet.

Why are the movie adaptions in the wrong order?
1 Answer
I'd say that this order was prescribed by The Da Vinci Code (the book)'s high success. While Dan Brown might have been regarded as a best-selling author even before The Da Vinci Code, this book was a major success world-wide and gathered an attention much higher than Angels & Demons or any of his previous books did, I think. So it was just a matter of time till it got turned into a movie. And only later after a whole bigger crowd had noticed Dan Brown and after the Da Vinci Code movie was a big success, too, they are catching up on Robert Langdon's previous adventures. Wikipedia seems to support this to some degree:
In 2003, Sony acquired the film rights to Angels & Demons along with The Da Vinci Code in a deal with author Dan Brown. [...] Director Ron Howard chose to treat Angels & Demons as a sequel to the previous film, rather than a prequel, since many had read the novel after The Da Vinci Code. He liked the idea that Langdon had been through one adventure and become a more confident character. Howard was also more comfortable taking liberties in adapting the story because the novel is less popular than The Da Vinci Code.
But as to why The Lost Symbol was skipped for the movies, I don't have as obvious a theory, yet. Maybe it was to profit from the temporal adjacency to Inferno's publication or maybe The Lost Symbol didn't sell too well (though that doesn't seem the case). But given the summaries on Wikipedia, it may also be that they wanted to continue Robert Langdon's travel through the Old World and Renaissance history as in the previous movies, which Inferno seems to be pretty in line with. The Lost Symbol seems to tread quite a different path, having him on a chase through American history and Freemasonry in Washington D.C., a path that the National Treasure franchise already went rather successfully.
It also seems, that they indeed wanted to do The Lost Symbol after Angels & Demons, but changed their mind when Inferno was released in mid-2013. There were also issues with Ron Howard opting out for the supposed The Lost Symbol but rejoining when the plan switched to Inferno (along with screenwriter David Koepp?), so maybe that was a factor, too, as can be read here:
Tom Hanks and Ron Howard, the star and director, respectively, of Sony’s first two tentpole movies based on Dan Brown’s novels, are returning for Inferno, we’ve learned. Hanks had been expected to reprise his role as Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon for The Lost Symbol, the third novel in Brown’s book series. But Howard had bowed out of that project, which is now on the back burner, saying he wanted to produce it with Brian Grazer and their Imagine Entertainment but not direct. Now we’re hearing he’ll return for Inferno.
PREVIOUS BREAKING…Inferno was released in May and is the fourth Robert Langdon book written by The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons author Dan Brown. Sony, which has film rights to the franchise, has just set a December 18, 2015 release date for it. David Koepp, who wrote Angels & Demons, is aboard to write the script. The news means Brown’s third installment of the thriller series, The Lost Symbol, will not be the next movie for Sony. Danny Strong had been set to write that adaptation in March 2012 and the expectation was the film would be directed by Mark Romanek after Ron Howard opted out of directing as he had done on the first two pics. Not much has been heard of that project since, and now Sony is leapfrogging it for Inferno.

My Amazon Unlimited reading subscription and the Kindle have revived my love of reading and following the Robert Langdon/DaVinci Code series in both movie and print. If you like the movies then you must read the books as there is so much more to the stories that the time constraints of movies won't allow for. So by all means get the books.
