I would really love to sit down and have a conversation with Dan Brown! The subject matter of his novels fascinates me! And The Lost Symbol is no exception. I'm actually still reading the book as I write, but it is a must read. Whether you have read Dan Brown (The DaVinci Code) before or not, this book is captivating! Recurring character, Robert Langdon, finds himself embroiled in yet more intrigue as he is summoned to speak at a conference in Washington, D.C. When he arrives, he discovers that there is no conference. As he is wondering what to do next, a commotion occurs in the rotunda of the Capitol Building, where Langdon was to have given the talk. What Langdon discovers next is the first in a series of clues to hidden symbols, and cryptic messages guarded by the Freemasons for hundreds of years. In order to save the life of a friend, kidnapped to lure Langdon to D.C., Langdon must find and decipher the codes, thought to be the answer to the Ancient Mysteries. But the CIA has other ideas. Under no circumstances do they want these mysteries revealed!
