Like in ‘ The Da Vinci Code’ and ‘Angels & Demons’, Brown brings into his story another fraternity, The Free Masons. He released the book after taking a six-year hiatus from writing, and that suspenseful waiting definitely contributed to the sales as it became one of the fastest-selling adult novels in history, pushing one million in hardcover versions on its first day of release.

‘ The Lost Symbol’ is another famous book by Dan Brown which is part of the Robert Langdon series. ‘ Angels & Demons‘ was a bestseller, and it was later adapted into a film that starred Tom Hanks in 2009. Now Langdon and the daughter of the deceased physicist must work together to stop the plot. It is later found out that a canister containing antimatter- a substance with destructive potential comparable to a nuclear weapon- was stolen from the physicist and was set to be used to destroy Vatican City. The plot of ‘Angels and Demons‘ follows Langdon after CERN director Maximilian Kohler hires him to authenticate an ambigram of the word “Illuminati” that was branded on his murdered employee, physicist Leonardo Vetra. Brown introduced the character of Robert Langdon, a Harvard symbologist and expert on the ancient anti-religious sect Illuminati, who becomes the protagonist for the rest of the books in the series. This is Dan Brown’s second book and the first of the Robert Langdon Series. It is one of four books by Brown that have TV adaptations. The book represents Brown Stance that believers need to make some research on their faith and not just take whatever the church presents as their true history. The plot follows Robert Langdon and cryptologist Sophie Neveu after a murder in the Louvre Museum in Paris gets them involved in a battle between the Priory of Sion and Opus Dei over documented evidence that Jesus took Mary Magdalene as a wife. It features a tale of murder, conspiracies, cover-ups, and houses theories that negate almost everything the world has come to believe about Christianity (which is why it caught so much attention). It is the book that established his reputation as a leading author, if not the best in the thriller genre. ‘The Da Vinci Code’ is not Dan Brown’s first novel, it’s his fourth actually, but it is his most widely read and commercially successful book.
