Robert Langdon Returns in The Lost Symbol

Dan Brown brought Robert Langdon back for the third time in his new novel called The Lost Symbol.

rumors about the new novel began coming out as early as the Da Vinci Code began breaking records sale in bookstores.   Hints of the storyline for the next novels are actually hidden in series of numbers and letters printed on the original cover of the Da Vinci Code. This series of letters and numbers are said to be coordinates that points to the exact location of the CIA headquarters in Langley Virginia.  It was said that the title of the next novel was The Solomon Key.  The rumors are wrong folks. We now know that the title is The Lost symbol. Funny thing is that, an authors have actually published a book with the title GUIDE TO DAN BROWN’S THE SOLOMON KEY. It was said that the the novel “The Solomon Key” will involve the CIA and It will revolve around the cryptic code that was included on the back cover of the Da Vinci Code that reads “Who will save the widow’s son?”  Now that the new novel no longer carry the same title and, it seems, has a different plot all together. I am wondering who in their right mind would still buy the GUIDE TO DAN BROWN’S THE SOLOMON KEY book.

The Lost Symbol has Harvard symbologist getting entangled with the codes of the old master Leonard Da Vinci all over again. Here is a sneak peak to the story line of the new novel, The Lost symbol:

Leonardo’s Prophecy?

Last month, while in Florence, Professor Robert Langdon uncovered an ancient parchment that historians now believe may be the work of Leonardo da Vinci. The encoded parchment—bearing the name La Profezia (The Prophecy)—raised eyebrows when scholars discovered it was signed “LSPDV.” (Leonardo’s full name was Leonardo Ser Pieri Da Vincio).

More intriguing still is the legend that the visionary Leonardo, in the days before his death, made a powerful prophecy about the future. Could this be Da Vinci’s long lost prediction? Historians remain eager to learn what this parchment says. The code has yet to reveal its mystery, but Robert Langdon is very close to finding the key to deciphering the message.
Leonardo’s encoded message consists of 24 symbols. Robert Langdon is certain there exists a key, and he is working very hard to find it.

Not enough? I know the feeling folks. We all have to keep our emotions in check and wait for the release of the book on September 15, 2009. Amazon.com is now accepting pre orders. So if you’re interested and you feel the need to at least do something about it, have your copy reserved now.
