#1 WORLDWIDE BESTSELLER • An intelligent, lightning-paced thriller set within the hidden chambers, tunnels, and temples of Washington, D.C., with surprises at every turn.
“Impossible to put down.... Another mind-blowing Robert Langdon story.” —The New York Times
Famed Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon answers an unexpected summons to appear at the U.S. Capitol Building. His plans are interrupted when a disturbing object—artfully encoded with five symbols—is discovered in the building. Langdon recognizes in the find an ancient invitation into a lost world of esoteric, potentially dangerous wisdom.
When his mentor Peter Solomon—a long-standing Mason and beloved philanthropist—is kidnapped, Langdon realizes that the only way to save Solomon is to accept the mystical invitation and plunge headlong into a clandestine world of Masonic secrets, hidden history, and one inconceivable truth... all under the watchful eye of Dan Brown's most terrifying villain to date.

If you could sum up The Lost Symbol in three words, what would they be?
If I could sum up any novel in three words, I would put a lot of authors out of business. I could, however, describe my reaction in three words : riveting action thriller.What was one of the most memorable moments of The Lost Symbol?
There were so many, but if I had to choose one it would be when Robert Langdon was placed in the coffin and it began filling with liquid. I would spoil the story if I said more, but as in real life, our hero's don't always have Houdini's escape skills.Which character – as performed by Paul Michael – was your favorite?
Robert Langdon was of course my favorite character. He is the Sherlock Holmes of symbolism, and as always his brain rather than his braun gets him out of his predicaments.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I did not have any extreme reaction to this book other than pure enjoyment. There were moments of excitement, wonder, sadness, happiness, ect. Just as in real life, no one emotion dominated the entire book.Any additional comments?
I have enjoyed all three of Dan Brown's Robert Langdon books. While I tell myself I will check out some of the information presented in these books, I have yet to do so. Maybe it is better for the story that I don't. Just the possibility of them being true enhances the story and makes me look forward to the next Robert Langdon adventure.Dan Brown delivers again!

Awesome

Other mystery writers has a tendency to include tedious descriptions of the heros personal life, mostly long descriptions of their shortcomings. I think it is fantastic how Brown throws the reader straight into the story, but sometimes I feel like I would like to know a bit more about Robert Langdon. A more evident problem is that the stories are built around the same dramatic skeleton, which is not that evident in the movies.
The movies are also relatively free from the half chewed sexual tension that Brown tries to charge his stories with.
But, it was nice listening to it. Well read.
Best by Brown so far, but...
