'Lost Symbol' can be found online

Fans of The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons will be able to get Dan Brown’s latest page turner without any actual pages. An electronic version of The Lost Symbol will be released September 15, the same day as the hardcover version, Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group announced, according to the NY Times. But don’t worry if you prefer that new-book scent; the publisher is also planning a first printing of five million copies.
The novel features Da Vinci’s protagonist Robert Langdon in DC this time, and takes place in a 12-hour period, according to Brown's editor.

Over the summer, Doubleday has conducted a campaign of codes, trivia, puzzles and problems on Twitter and Facebook. It’s also offering a chance to win a free book.

Which will you go for? Old-school or E-book?

Dan Brown’s protagonist Robert Langdon returns this fall in The Lost Symbol, the sequel to The Da Vinci Code, Knopf Doubleday announced this week.
It took Brown 6 years to write this story, which takes place in a 12 hour period. “Robert Langdon’s life clearly moves a lot faster than mine,” Brown’s longtime editor, Jason Kaufman said.


If history is any indicator, this should be a good one. The Da Vinci Code, published in 2003, spent 144 weeks on the NY Times bestseller list and has been translated into 51 languages. The film version came out in 2006, starring Tom Hanks as Langdon, and made $758 million. And Brown’s earlier novel, Angels and Demons, is due out in theaters this May.

So, if by some fluke you haven’t read The Da Vinci Code, start now. It’s a big book.
