Book Review: The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown Rating: The lost symbol is one of my favourite Dan Brown books along with deception point, digital fortress, etc. It's story is intricately glued together with a climax that could well leave you in dumbstruck silence. The story is about a antagonist ,called Ma'lakh, who kidnips a famous Mason called Peter Solomon. Over 3,000 feet away Robert Langdon receives a call supposedly from Peter's assistant who tells him to come to the famous US Capitol Rotunda for a lecture. But when Langdon reaches the Rotunda and spots Peter's hand on the floor dropped by a mysteries hooded person , he knows the day is going to be a dizzying rollercoaster ride from the CIA to Kalorama Heights !!!
