Anyone besides me excited about Dan Brown's upcoming release The Lost Symbol on September 15. For those of us who have read Brown's other works such as The Da Vinci Code, Angels & Demons, and Digital Fortress, we've been awaiting this new book.
Personally, I love historical fiction books. I'm not limited to reading books in this category to Dan Brown, but with the "controversy" of The Da Vinci Code, everyone knows his name. Check out this information about The Lost Symbol from Amazon:
The Lost Symbol will once again feature Dan Brown’s unforgettable protagonist, Robert Langdon.
“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,” said Sonny Mehta, Chairman and Editor in Chief of the Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group.
Brown’s longtime editor, Jason Kaufman, 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.”
"This novel has been a strange and wonderful journey," said Brown. "Weaving five years of research into the story's twelve-hour timeframe was an exhilarating challenge. Robert Langdon’s life clearly moves a lot faster than mine."
We aren't given anything about the nature of the story or where it takes place, but I for one will read it no matter what. So excited!
Just out of curiosity... who else plans on reading this book? It's available for preorder through Amazon
I plan to read it at some point but I tend to wait until the hype has passed.
I have his other books and will get this one eventually...
It has so much hype to live up to. Must be difficult to write under those conditions. I hope it's a good book. Can't wait!
What other historical ficiton authors do you read? I have some books by Steve Berry in my TBR pile.

I don't actually read any other historical fiction authors. Romance novels take all of my time :)
