The Lost Symbol – Dan Brown

The Lost Symbol, Dan Brown’s follow-up to the phenomenon that was The DaVinci Code, finds symbologist Robert Langdon summoned to Washington DC to do a favor for a friend.  When he arrives, he finds that he has been tricked and, to save the life of his friend, he must stay ahead of the CIA and decipher the secret codes of the Masons to try and stop a madman.

The third of five novels in the Robert Langdon series, The Lost Symbol was the only one I hadn’t yet read.  I do have one of his standalone works sitting on the Kindle, which I am sure to get to one of these days.  Or years.

Book 52!  For the first time since I started this 52 books in 52 weeks challenge back in 2010, I actually made it to the finish line.  My previous high point of 31, which I managed to hit twice, was tied and surpassed back in August.  We’ll go into more detail when we wrap up the year in books in a few weeks.
