The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown PDF Download

The Lost Symbol is a 2009 novel written by American writer Dan Brown. It is a thriller set in Washington, D.C., after the events of The Da Vinci Code, and relies on Freemasonry for both its recurring theme and its major characters. In this stunning follow-up to the global phenomenon The Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown demonstrates once again why he is the world’s most popular thriller writer. The Lost Symbol is a masterstroke of storytelling–a deadly race through a real-world labyrinth of codes, secrets, and unseen truths… all under the watchful eye of Brown’s most terrifying villain to date. Set within the hidden chambers, tunnels, and temples of Washington, D.C., The Lost Symbol accelerates through a startling landscape toward an unthinkable finale.

As the story opens, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is summoned unexpectedly to deliver an evening lecture in the U.S. Capitol Building. Within minutes of his arrival, however, the night takes a bizarre turn. A disturbing object–artfully encoded with five symbols–is discovered in the Capitol Building. Langdon recognizes the object as an ancient invitation… one meant to usher its recipient into a long-lost world of esoteric wisdom.

When Langdon’s beloved mentor, Peter Solomon–a prominent Mason and philanthropist–is brutally kidnapped, Langdon realizes his only hope of saving Peter is to accept this mystical invitation and follow wherever it leads him. Langdon is instantly plunged into a clandestine world of Masonic secrets, hidden history, and never-before-seen locations–all of which seem to be dragging him toward a single, inconceivable truth.

As the world discovered in The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons, Dan Brown’s novels are brilliant tapestries of veiled histories, arcane symbols, and enigmatic codes. In this new novel, he again challenges readers with an intelligent, lightning-paced story that offers surprises at every turn. The Lost Symbol is exactly what Brown’s fans have been waiting for… his most thrilling novel yet.

Here are first few pages of The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown :

CHAPTER 1
The Otis elevator climbing the south pillar of the Eiffel Tower was overflowing with
tourists. Inside the cramped lift, an austere businessman in a pressed suit gazed down at
the boy beside him. “You look pale, son. You should have stayed on the ground.”
“I’m okay . . .” the boy answered, struggling to control his anxiety. “I’ll get out on the
next level.” I can’t breathe.
The man leaned closer. “I thought by now you would have gotten over this.” He brushed
the child’s cheek affectionately.
The boy felt ashamed to disappoint his father, but he could barely hear through the
ringing in his ears. I can’t breathe. I’ve got to get out of this box!
The elevator operator was saying something reassuring about the lift’s articulated pistons
and puddled-iron construction. Far beneath them, the streets of Paris stretched out in all
directions.
Almost there, the boy told himself, craning his neck and looking up at the unloading
platform. Just hold on.
As the lift angled steeply toward the upper viewing deck, the shaft began to narrow, its
massive struts contracting into a tight, vertical tunnel.
“Dad, I don’t think—”
Suddenly a staccato crack echoed overhead. The carriage jerked, swaying awkwardly to
one side. Frayed cables began whipping around the carriage, thrashing like snakes. The
boy reached out for his father.
“Dad!”
Their eyes locked for one terrifying second.
Then the bottom dropped out.
Robert Langdon jolted upright in his soft leather seat, startling out of the semiconscious
daydream. He was sitting all alone in the enormous cabin of a Falcon 2000EX corporate
jet as it bounced its way through turbulence. In the background, the dual Pratt & Whitney
engines hummed evenly.
“Mr. Langdon?” The intercom crackled overhead. “We’re on final approach.” Langdon sat up straight and slid his lecture notes back into his leather daybag. He’d been
halfway through reviewing Masonic symbology when his mind had drifted. The
daydream about his late father, Langdon suspected, had been stirred by this morning’s
unexpected invitation from Langdon’s longtime mentor, Peter Solomon.
The other man I never want to disappoint.
The fifty-eight-year-old philanthropist, historian, and scientist had taken Langdon under
his wing nearly thirty years ago, in many ways filling the void left by Langdon’s father’s
death. Despite the man’s influential family dynasty and massive wealth, Langdon had
found humility and warmth in Solomon’s soft gray eyes.
Outside the window the sun had set, but Langdon could still make out the slender
silhouette of the world’s largest obelisk, rising on the horizon like the spire of an ancient
gnomon. The 555-foot marble-faced obelisk marked this nation’s heart. All around the
spire, the meticulous geometry of streets and monuments radiated outward.
Even from the air, Washington, D.C., exuded an almost mystical power.
Langdon loved this city, and as the jet touched down, he felt a rising excitement about
what lay ahead. The jet taxied to a private terminal somewhere in the vast expanse of
Dulles International Airport and came to a stop.
Langdon gathered his things, thanked the pilots, and stepped out of the jet’s luxurious
interior onto the foldout staircase. The cold January air felt liberating.
Breathe, Robert, he thought, appreciating the wide-open spaces.
A blanket of white fog crept across the runway, and Langdon had the sensation he was
stepping into a marsh as he descended onto the misty tarmac.
“Hello! Hello!” a singsong British voice shouted from across the tarmac. “Professor
Langdon?”
Langdon looked up to see a middle-aged woman with a badge and clipboard hurrying
toward him, waving happily as he approached. Curly blond hair protruded from under a
stylish knit wool hat.
“Welcome to Washington, sir!”
Langdon smiled. “Thank you.”
“My name is Pam, from passenger services.” The woman spoke with an exuberance that
was almost unsettling. “If you’ll come with me, sir, your car is waiting.”
