The Lost Symbol (Paperback)

The Lost Symbol Book Description

About the Book :

The most anticipated publication of the decade, The Lost Symbol is the stunning new thriller featuring Robert Langdon.

WHAT WAS LOST WILL BE FOUND… Washington DC: Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is summoned at the last minute to deliver an evening lecture in the Capitol Building. Within moments of his arrival, however, a disturbing object – gruesomely encoded with five symbols – is discovered at the epicentre of the Rotunda. It is, he recognises, an ancient invitation, meant to beckon its recipient towards a long-lost world of hidden esoteric wisdom. When Langdon’s revered mentor, Peter Solomon – philanthropist and prominent mason – is brutally kidnapped, Langdon realizes that his only hope of saving his friend’s life is to accept this mysterious summons and follow wherever it leads him. Langdon finds himself quickly swept behind the facade of America’s most historic city into the unseen chambers, temples and tunnels which exist there. All that was familiar is transformed into a shadowy, clandestine world of an artfully concealed past in which Masonic secrets and never-before-seen revelations seem to be leading him to a single impossible and inconceivable truth. A brilliantly composed tapestry of veiled histories, arcane icons and enigmatic codes, The Lost Symbol is an intelligent, lightning-paced thriller that offers surprises at every turn. For, as Robert Langdon will discover, there is nothing more extraordinary or shocking than the secret which hides in plain sight…

  Very thrilling, fast paced, interesting read...

  Dan Brown... the best author as far as I know.. I don't know how can a man know so much about something... Robert Langdon series.. The best thing about this series is, the former doesnt have anything to do with the latter one... They have their own stories, secrets and thrills to share.. The first one, Angels and demons, deals with the illuminati and vatican city.. The second one, The davinci code, deals with the Priory of Sion and race through the cathedrals and castles of Europe... This one, the lost symbol, deals with the Freemasonry and the capital, Washington D.C. Very thrilling, fast paced, interesting read... I felt the last 50 pages made a good self-help guide.. over all, a good read!!
