For all the cipher-loving conspiracy theorists, the wait is soon over – Dan Brown’s latest novel, The Lost Symbol, will finally be out September 15th. Brown himself mentioned, ‘This novel has been a strange and wonderful journey. Weaving five years of research into the story’s 12-hour timeframe was an exhilarating challenge. Robert Langdon’s life clearly moves a lot faster than mine.”
Before turning into a full-time novelist, Dan Brown switched between teaching English and being a musician. It was only after vacationing in Tahiti and reading Doomsday Conspiracy by Sidney Sheldon, that he realised that he too could be a writer.
Curiously enough, as Washington Post book editor, Ron Charles mentioned on Twitter, as of late August, close to 200 people have given the book a rating of 3 out of 5, despite not having read it yet. Needless to say, Brown has a knack for unapologetically stirring up plenty of controversy, but along with the high-octane thrillers, he also gives his readers some food for thought. What are your thoughts and speculations on The Lost Symbol?

This season, many publishers are counting on star-studded fall catalogues to turn around a dismal year. Battered by the drop in consumer spending, most major publishing houses have cut staff and trimmed costs in recent months.
Publishers often save their splashiest works for the autumn months, but this year’s crop of fall books is unusually heavy with big names. The releases run across the literary spectrum, from Dan Brown’s sequel to “The Da Vinci Code,” which kicks of with a massive first printing of 6.5 million copies, to a final, posthumous work by Vladimir Nabokov.
The Lost Symbol, Dan Brown
Sept. 15, Doubleday Books
Harvard symbologist and Vatican nemesis Robert Langdon returns in Dan Brown’s sequel to his bestseller “The Da Vinci Code.” The publisher is fiercely guarding against plot leaks, and the book’s official Web site has little information beyond the enigmatic phrase “All Will Be Revealed,” and a clock counting down the seconds until the book is released.
