The Lost Symbol
Tremendously anticipated worldwide, THE LOST SYMBOL is a heart-stopping race through a real-world labyrinth of codes, secrets, and unseen truths. Set within the hidden chambers, tunnels, and temples of Washington, D.C., this novel once again plunges Dan Brown’s legions of fans into a world of ancient mysteries and secret societies that are signature Brown - this time in the heart of America’s capital. Without giving away too much about the hitherto closely guarded plot, we can tell you that, as the story opens, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is summoned unexpectedly to deliver an evening lecture in the U.S. Capitol Building. Within minutes of his arrival, however, the night takes a bizarre turn. A disturbing object - artfully encoded with five symbols - is discovered in the Capitol. Langdon recognizes the object as an ancient invitation … one meant to usher its recipient into a long-lost world of esoteric wisdom.
When Langdon’s beloved mentor, Peter Solomon - a prominent Mason and philanthropist - is brutally kidnapped, Langdon realizes his only hope of saving Peter is to accept this mystical invitation and follow wherever it leads him. Langdon is instantly plunged into a clandestine world of Masonic secrets, hidden history, and never-before-seenlocations - all of which seem to be dragging him toward a single, inconceivable truth. With eye-opening revelations and mind-bending puzzles on every page, THE LOST SYMBOL moves at an exhilarating pace toward a truly unimaginable conclusion. The book delivers everything we hoped it would. Dan Brown’s fifth novel is a masterstroke of entertainment, reminding readers yet again that Dan Brown is one of the most ingenious and inventive authors writing today.
