The Lost Symbol

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...

    The Lost Symbol

    As always, Dan Brown delivers - The Lost Symbol is a fantastic and rip-roaring read. However, for someone who loves this genre I have to say I was a little under-whelmed in the revelations, maybe because I read another thriller a couple of weeks ago called A Yearning for Jacob’s Son which is much more pertinent to the world we are experiencing today: think Freemasons, Washington, Scotland, oil and nuclear weapons. Nevertheless, The Lost Symbol is an enjoyable experience and will be loved by all types of readers. As always with Brown, there are many interesting theories and POIs and even if you have never read his other works, there are many twists and turns to keep you enthralled. Don’t worry that the storyline is a touch far-fetched in that it is a little out of our reach in relation to the real world, you’ll still keep turning the pages because that is what Brown does best and why millions love him. As for the revelations, you may be shocked or not, and depending on how much you know the subject matter and Washington DC, some of the more clever readers will probably predict what is going to happen. Nevertheless, Lost Symbol is still an excellent read and I will definitely be recommending it.
