Technically, he hasn't. Dan Brown wrote a couple other books called Digital Fortress and Deception Point, where there is no Robert Langdon. But he found a character he liked, that worked well in his novels, so why not take advantage of it. There are countless numbers of other authors who have done the same thing.

robert langdon is not the "star" in all of dan brown's books. "digital fortress" and "deception point" have different protagonists. the books that langdon appears in is a series in which he is the main character. so far there are only two books in the robert langdon series: "angels & demons" and "the da vinci code". there is a third book in the works and i believe it will be called "the solomon key".

A lot of authors do that. Clive Cussler has nearly 20 books all about Dirk Pitt. James Patterson has at least 10 books about Alex Cross. A lot of authors write stories based on a character, because they created a character people like to read about.

well at 1st I thought that robert langdon is an ideal-self that dan brown was really wanted 'n he wrote it well in his books ....but I have another suggest then, maybe it's like Sherlock Holmes...everybody knows him! from the smarty robert langdon, brown tries to make another "Sherlock Holmes" so people will memorize all the adventures a lot...

The same reason Agatha Christie wrote a lot about Miss Marple and Janet Evanovich keeps sticking with Stephanie Plum. It's a lot easier to sell a book that's part of a "series" than it is one that stands alone. Readers (and writers) get attached to characters and want to keep following them on new adventures.

Think of it as the literary version of your favorite TV show or movie series.

He doesn't. It happens to be a series though, that started with Angels and Demons, then The Da Vinci Code, and I think there's another coming out soon.

Authors do this because it helps readers identify with a character and grow with them... also most of the time if you read one good book with a certain character you're more likely to buy another, right?

It allows Dan Brown a central character to keep the books flowing.

He's only got 3 books out as far as I know. Lots of authors keep the same main charactor(s) in a string of novels. Some people like them in other stories.
