Uncover the Lost Symbol

In case you have missed out on the action, Sunday Observer has partnered with www.books.lk to give six lucky readers to have the chance to hold in their hands, Dan Brown’s bestseller ‘The Lost Symbol’.

www.books.lk is an online shopping facility where readers can get any book price (marked on the cover) with free delivery.

Kumar Melvani of www.books.lk said that by giving books at an affordable price by offering free delivery,readers can develop and harness their book-reading skills with ease and peace of mind.

Dan Brown’s ‘Lost Symbol’ had a first print run of 5 million copies, the largest first print in Random House, Inc. history. The Lost Symbol is a 2009 novel by American writer Dan Brown which is actually a thriller set in Washington, D.C., after the events of The Da Vinci Code.

Released on September 15, 2009, it is the third Brown novel to involve the character of Harvard University symbologist Robert Langdon, following 2000’s Angels & Demons and 2003’s The Da Vinci Code. It had a first printing of 6.5 million (5 million in North America, 1.5 million in the UK), the largest in Doubleday history. On its first day the book sold one million in hardcover and e-book versions in the U.S., the U.K. and Canada, making it the fastest selling adult novel in history.

It was number one on the New York Times Best Seller list for hardcover fiction for the first six weeks of its release, and has remained near the top since then.

On Dan Brown’s official website, 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.”

“This novel has been a strange and wonderful journey,” said Brown. “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.”
