Dan Brown’s new novel, The Lost Symbol, will be published in the U.S. and Canada by Doubleday on Sept. 15, 2009, the publisher announced today. It is Brown’s first novel since The Da Vinci Code, the best-selling hardcover adult novel of all time with 81 million copies in print. Symbol again features Brown’s protagonist Robert Langdon, this time in a narrative that takes place in a 12-hour period. "Dan Brown’s prodigious talent for storytelling, infused with history, codes and intrigue, is on full display in this new book," says Sonny Mehta, Chairman and Editor in Chief of the Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group.
The Da Vinci Code was adapted into a Ron Howard-directed Columbia Pictures movie in 2006 with Tom Hanks starring as Robert Langdon. Howard will again direct Hanks as Langdon for the upcoming film adaptation of Brown’s 2000 novel Angels & Demons, which releases on May 15.

Finally. It certainly took him long enough. Brown is as elusive as Salinger.
Never thought I’d hear anyone compare Dan Brown to Salinger.
This was originally called Solomon Key. I was in high school anticipating the Da Vinci Code film and this book!!! Now I’m a college junior!!!
If Dan Brown wants EW to keep covering his new book, he’d better hope there’s a huge subplot about teenage vampires in it.
Kelly, I meant to say Brown is as “reclusive” as Salinger. He falls under the category of “eccentric author who has found tremendous fame but for some bizarre reason hides from the world”.
Dan Brown is not reclusive, nor does he take an especially long time between books.
No, thank you. I almost started a riot after the first one.
This is the case of following a phenomenon. Nothing you do can match the success of the previous work. The creator puts it off or works on it forever, hoping to match it. Just look how long it took James Cameron to make another film.

People need to realize the difference between reality and fiction. Also, Angels and Demons was better than The DaVinci Code, but not as controversial.
