The_lost_symbol The cover art for The Lost Symbol, Dan Brown's follow-up to The Da Vinci Code, has been revealed. The novel hits shelves Sept. 15, and follows protagonist Robert Langdon over a 12-hour period. "Dan's new novel is largely set in Washington, D.C., though it's a Washington few will recognize," editor Jason Kaufman said in an announcement. "As we would expect, he pulls back the veil — revealing an unseen world of mysticism, secretsocieties, and hidden locations, with a stunning twist that longpredates America." The UK cover art was also unveiled.

    From what I see in this artwork and in the UK cover art, it looks like Dan Brown is leaning away from religious-themed mystery/thriller and is gearing this next one towards historical mystery (ala “National Treasure”). As someone who didn’t like “The DaVinci Code” (neither the book nor the movie), I think leaning away from the religious aspects might make the novel more…fun? We’ll see. I’m not holding my breath, though.

    It’s a good thing Dan Brown is a brand-name author now, because that cover is nearly identical to at least twenty other books.

    So this book brings Robert Langdon face-to-face with the Masons finally? after the Illuminati and Opus Dei/ Proiry of Sion? I’ll definitley pre-order this one.

    Why is the UK cover better than the US cover?

    It appears National Lampoon has already gotten their hands on the first few chapters.

    Gee, I wonder what my freudian art professor would make of it? Capital dome is looking a bit phallic … and the red seal above it? and the blood colored sky? and the parchment splitting like a pair of legs?
