Breaking News: Dan Brown’s New Novel The Lost Symbol will be released on September 15, 2009.

Now, after 5 years, Dan Brown is about to unveil his new novel. The Lost Symbol is the follow up to Dan Brown’s #1 International Phenomenon, The Da Vinci Code, which sold for 80 million copies in 51 languages.

“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.

Brown’s longtime editor, Jason Kaufman, Vice President and Executive Editor at Doubleday said, “Nothing ever is as it first appears in a Dan Brown novel. This book’s narrative takes place in a twelve-hour period, and from the first page, Dan’s readers will feel the thrill of discovery as they follow Robert Langdon through a masterful and unexpected new landscape. The Lost Symbol is full of surprises.”
