"The Lost Symbol" -Dan Brown's DaVinci Code Sequel Out Soon
Some writers suffer from writer's block; we suspect that in Dan Brown's case, it was a movie block. Finally, the Da Vinci Code sequel, The Lost Symbol, is scheduled to arrive in bookstores on September 15th. The Da Vinci Code was the bestselling hardcover adult novel of all time, with 81 million copies in print worldwide.
The Lost Symbol will have a first printing of 5 million copies, and it will again feature symbologist Robert Langdon, who was played by Tom Hanks in the film version of The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons.. The announcement was made today by Sonny Mehta,
"This is a great day for readers and booksellers," said Sonny Mehta, Chairman and Editor in Chief of the Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group.."The Lost Symbol is a brilliant and compelling thriller. Dan Brown's prodigious talent for storytelling, infused with history, codes and intrigue, is on full display in this new book. This is one of the most anticipated publications in recent history, and it was well worth the wait."
Jason Kaufman who is the Vice President and Executive Editor at Doubleday said, "Nothing ever is as it first appears in a Dan Brown novel. This book's narrative takes place in a twelve-hour period, and from the first page, Dan's readers will feel the thrill of discovery as they follow Robert Langdon through a masterful and unexpected new landscape. The Lost Symbol is full of surprises."
Amazon.com is offering the book at nearly 50% off the cover price for preorders.
