THE LOST SYMBOL     by Dan Brown

Review #16
Main Character.....Robert Langdon


He saved the Church from a fundamentalist radical in Angels & Demons and exposed the world's greatest cover-up in The Da Vinci Code. Now, symbologist and Harvard professor, Robert Langdon, returns to uncover another mystery.


Langdon receives an invitation to give a lecture in Washington, DC, but discovers an empty chamber when he arrives at the lecture hall. He quickly learns that he's been summoned for his knowledge rather than his oratory skills. His friend, Peter Solomon, has been abducted, his tattooed right hand mounted to a wooden base and left for Langdon to find and "read". To save Peter's life, Langdon must follow a set of clues and uncover a treasure hidden somewhere in the nation's capitol.


A mysterious clue leading to a series of puzzles; a ruthless villain who will stop at nothing; ancient secrets; mysterious organizations that link past to present are all elements of this exciting novel.


If you liked the controversial book, The Da Vinci Code, you will like this one.
