“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.

"The Lost Symbol is a completely thrilling experience and undoubtedly a must-read. But having read the previous Robert Langdon books,I believe that there is something amiss about'The lost symbol' if I were to compare it with them. The plot is exciting and the characters are as intriguing as ever but I wish there was more elaborate discussion of the Noetic Science. The villain is the best and Fiercest amongst all Dan Brown villains till date. But I wish that Robert does get someone in the next book. He really deserves it."

— Entertainment Weekly" This book should only be read as entertainment. If you're looking for a life-altering, intellectual or spiritual reading experience then look elsewhere. Given my limited expectations I found this book enjoyable. After reading Dan Brown's other books it felt a little familiar and predictable but it was still entertaining. "
— Sherill, 1/20/2014" Kali ini Dan Brown membawa tema freemason, berkat kesuksesan angel and demons membuat saya banyak berharap pada The Lost Symbol. Dan Brown memang pandai mendalami sebuah misteri dari yang sudah ada, jalan ceritanya sudah ketebak, selalu sama. Walaupun begitu, The Lost Symbol ini tetap layak dan menarik untuk dibaca "
— Jaka, 1/12/2014" The worst book by dan.....too lengthy for a thriller..... "

— Misty, 12/19/2013" I must say, I enjoyed his previous two Robert Langdon thrillers more than this one, but that doesn't mean that The Lost Symbol has lost my utter attention! This book is packed with suspense and fast-paced action - which makes Dan Brown one of my best reads. Give me a book with an unexpected ending, and I'll read it in no time! Very good. "

— Rodaina, 11/29/2013" One of the best books ever read. Even better than the earlier two Robert langdon books. "
— Aashraf, 11/19/2013" It does mix the real with the imaginary and provide what might be revealing details if you don't know about Washington D.C, the Masons, and the founding fathers. The prose is nice with no rough edges, there are plenty of narrow escapes. "
