The long-awaited new novel will be published by Dan Brown in September

Dan Brown’s new novel (the long-awaited follow-up to his no.1 international phenomenon, The Da Vinci Code), will be published on September 15, 2009. The Lost Symbol will once again feature Dan Brown’s unforgettable protagonist, Robert Langdon. This book’s narrative takes place in a twelve-hour period, and from the first page, the readers will feel the thrill of discovery as they follow Langdon through a masterful and unexpected new landscape.

The Lost Symbol is a brilliant and compelling thriller. Dan Brown’s prodigious talent for storytelling, infused with history, codes and intrigue, is on full display in this new book. This is one of the most anticipated publications in recent history, and it was well worth the wait, said Sonny Mehta, Chairman and Editor in Chief of the Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group.

Referring to his new novel, the author declared: this novel has been a strange and wonderful journey. Weaving five years of research into the story's twelve-hour timeframe was an exhilarating challenge. Robert Langdon’s life clearly moves a lot faster than mine.
