DECODING THE LOST SYMBOL(老书名UNLOCKING THE SOLOMON KEY)

Book ID/图书代码： 05B02556

English Summary/英文概要： Following on from the phenomenally successful "The Da Vinci Code" and "Angels and Demons", Dan Brown’s next thriller, "The Lost Symbol", will be set in locations such as Washington DC, Salt Lake City, Langley, Virginia and Jerusalem. The book is set to feature Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon once again, whose exploits will take him inside the secret societies of the Freemasons and Rosicrucians - replacing Opus Dei and the Illuminati of previous adventures.

Decoding the Lost Symbol is an A to Z guide featuring illustrations and color photographs to illuminate the text. It will provide all the answers to the cryptic mysteries in Dan Brown’s highly anticipated new novel.

Simon Cox is the author of two other guides to Dan Brown’s novels, "Cracking the Da Vinci Code" and "Illuminating Angels and Demons", and "The Lost Symbol" is hotly tipped to repeat their success. "Cracking the Da Vinci Code" has now been translated into fifteen languages and has sold over half a million copies worldwide, while a spin-off DVD of the same name has sold one and a half million copies. No wonder, then, that "Decoding the Lost Symbol" is almost as eagerly awaited as Dan Brown’s next novel itself. Simon Cox’s guide will be the essential companion to "The Lost Symbol", giving vital background information and shedding new light on the many mysteries at the heart of Dan Brown’s new story.
