The Lost Symbol
Dan Brown's latest historical mystery novel, The Lost Symbol
Following the life of protagonist Robert Langdon, a Harvard symbolist, Brown's latest adventure/mystery spans a twelve hour time period covering 2000 years of world history. The plot, following the same construction fans have come to expect, knits together a historical account and a tense thriller. This type of storyline construction is a feat that Brown does better than any other writer.
Well-researched and tightly crafted, Dan Brown's books are phenomenons with his raving fans, on book best-seller lists and at the box-office. The Da Vinci Code, directed by Ron Howard and starring Tom Hanks, raked in an astounding $748 million. His latest installment, scheduled for publication on September 15, 2009, should be no exception. Following the typical tense "real-time" style his fans have come to expect, Brown weaves mystery, intrigue and humor into a plot that is both riveting and unforgettable.
In the author's words, "Weaving five years of research into the story's twelve hour timeframe was an exhilarating challenge. Robert Langdon's life clearly moves faster than mine."
