Now to put aside "historical facts", I still think Dan Brown has very strong (I should say the strongest) talent to tell a story: the twist and turns, the supprise, the cliff hangers. Other writers use these techniques, too, but none can handle them in such an intelligent (now we have that word, again!) and fresh way as Dan. That's why I am seeking writers who are as competent as Dan in this aspect.
Surely you jest when you utter the words talent and Dan Brown in the same sentence? Unless you mean talent in the same way as Britney Spears has talent, or how the actor, David Hasselhof, has talent?
