Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol on Kindle is Amazon top seller
The Kindle e-reader edition of The Lost Symbol, the new novel by The Da Vinci Code author Dan Brown, is the top-selling book on Amazon.

The Amazon Kindle


The Kindle edition of Dan Brown’s The Lost Symbol, his follow-up to 2003’s smash hit The Da Vinci Code, has become the top-selling item on Amazon.com.

The e-reader edition is outselling the hardback copy of the novel, which had previously become the sixth best selling book of 2009 on pre-publication orders alone.

Commentators are wondering whether the book is heralding a new era in publishing. While Amazon is offering almost 50 per cent off the hardback copies, $16.17 instead of $29.99, the Kindle edition is available at just $9.99 – and there is no wait for delivery.

The news does not mean that the Kindle edition is outselling the physical copies overall. Kindle editions are only available through Amazon, while the hardback can be bought elsewhere both online and on the High Street.

Bloggers at technology website fastcompany.com say there simply are not enough Kindles in existence for them to rival total sales of hard copies. However, as the Kindle gains in popularity and new devices such as the Apple iTablet come to the market, electronic editions may soon take off. If Dan Brown takes another six years to write his next book, he may find that it sells most of its copies electronically.

The Kindle and its successors the Kindle 2 and Kindle DX have been on sale since November 2007. The latest model, the DX, can hold up to 3,500 books in its 4GB internal memory.

Asda are selling the lost symbol for £5 and thats the hardback

[TempestGarden]

The book kinda intrigues me, but I haven't read any of his other books nor saw the movie.

I have heard that Dan Brown is supposed to be a disinfo agent though for the Illuminati. Apparently he does this all just to get people to read into his story and dismiss all of this as total fiction.

[Jacqui D]

Yes it's a big ruse! the lost symbol well maybe we would all be better looking within!

[Swanny]

I tried to buy it from asda tonight but they had sold out.
Asked a woman and she said they get a delivery everyday and everyday it sells out
Going to reserve a copy tomorrow

[giovonni]

Swanny its worth the wait

"This is the world's largest and most technologically advanced museums and also one of the world's best-kept secrets. It houses more pieces than the Hermitage, the Vatican Museum, and the New York Metropolitan...combined. Yet despite its magnificant collection, few members of the public are ever invited inside its heavily guarded walls." from the Lost Symbol

Noetic Science~
What Are Noetic Sciences?
The word "noetic" is derived from the Greek word "nous," meaning mind, intelligence or ways of knowing, There is no exact equivalent in English. It refers to "inner knowing," a kind of intuitive consciousnessódirect and immediate access to knowledge beyond what is available to our normal senses or the power of reason.

Noetic sciences are explorations into the nature and potentials of consciousness using multiple ways of knowing -- including intuition, feeling, reason, and the senses. Noetic sciences explore the "inner cosmos" of the mind/consciousness/soul/spirit, and how it relates to the "outer cosmos" of the physical world.

The goal of our work is to support individuals in the transformation of their own consciousness, developing their innate human potentials and creative capacities, as the foundation for a collective transformation towards a global wisdom society.

FIONS strives towards this goal through talks and presentations on subjects related to these ideas, through ongoing groups exploring such topics as dreams, the New Physics, and through active communication among members.


The Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) was co-founded in 1973 by former astronaut Edgar Mitchell and industrialist Paul N. Temple to encourage and conduct research on human potentials. Institute programs include "extended human capacities," "integral health and healing," and "emerging worldviews." This includes research into topics such as spontaneous remission, meditation, consciousness, alternative healing practices, spirituality, human potential, psychic abilities and survival of consciousness after bodily death, among others. The institute's name is derived from the Greek word nous, meaning mind.



Its Symbol and forums of study.

are those we believe in" Willis Harman

read it in one night. stayed up till 4 reading it.

[giovonni]

Thanks Carmen and Thunderbird~
For your post and comments

I know Carmen finished in about the same time,
but T~Bird on an iphone!
you did download it too your kindle right?

[Carmen]

Like I said previously, I think Dan Brown is very switched on. The Da Vinci Code was about the Sacred Feminine, and it was certainly the time for the feminine, Goddess to be brought forward and acknowledged.

This new book brings forth the ancient knowledge, the integrity, character, nobility and honour of the initiate orders throughout history. Its certainly time to bypass the dark controllers (whose time has passed) and to focus and bring forward the knowledge of the Great Ones. The ones who can teach humanity about their Divine Heritage.

Back to
The Lost Symbol~



"Dressed in his loincloth, Mal`akh padded back and forth in front of Peter Solomon's wheelchair. "Peter," he whispered, enjoying every moment of his captive's horror, "you forgot you have a second family...your Masonic brothers. And I will destroy them, too...
unless you help me."
Solomon looked almost catatonic..."please," he finally stammered...

"If this video gets out..."

"If?"

Mal`akh laughed.

"If it gets out?"

He motioned to the small to the small cellular modem plugged into the side of his laptop.

"I'm connected to the world."

"You wouldn't..."

I will, Mal`akh thought, enjoying Solomon's horror. "You have the power to stop me," he said, "And to save your sister. But first you have to tell me what I want to know. The lost Word is hidden somewhere..."Perhaps this will help inspire you." Mal`akh reached over Peter's shoulders and hit a few keys on the laptop...The screen now displayed a video file addressed to a long list of major media networks...

Mal`akh smiled.

"I think its time we share, don't you?"

"Don't."

Mal`akh reached down and clicked the send button on the program.
Peter jerked aganist his bonds..."





"Relax Peter," Mal`akh whispered.

"Its a massive file. It will take a few minutes to go out."
He pointed to the progress bar:


SENDING MESSAGE: 2% COMPLETE


"If you tell me what I want to know, I'll stop the e-mail, and nobody will ever see this."
Peter was ashen as the task bar inched forward."


SENDIND MESSAGE: 4% COMPLETE


"The legend says the Masonic Pyramid will unveil the Lost Word.
This is the pyramids final code.

"I believe you know how to read it."

Mal`akh glanced over at the laptop."


SENDING MESSAGE: 8% COMPLETE


"Mal`akh returned his eyes to Peter...his gray eyes blazing now with hatred.
Hate me, Mal`akh thought. The greater the emotion, the more potent the energy that will be released when the ritual is completed"


"Peter Solomon was desperately trying to fiquire out what to do. All he could see in his mind were the images of Katherine bleeding in the basement...and of the video he had just witnessed...He turned his head...The progress bar was alkmost a third of the way filled."


SENDING MESSAGE: 29% COMPLETE


The tattooed man was now walking slow circles around the square alter, swinging a lit censor and chanting to himself. Thick puffs of white smoke swirled up toward the skylight...The man's eyes...seemed to be in a demonic trance.
Peter turned his gaze to the ancient knife...on the white silk cloth spread across the alter....Would he find a way to save his sister and his brotherhood...He glanced down at the grid of symbols"
(TLS 439-41).





"Peter Solomon knew exactly what he needed to do. Taking a deep breath...he began to speak.
All great truths are simple.
Mal`akh had learned that a long time ago.
The solution that Peter Solomon was now explaining was so graceful and pure that Mal`akh was sure that it could only be true...the pyramid's final code was... was far simpler than he ever imagined.
The Lost word was right before my eyes.
Soon I am complete"
(TLS 442).

"Langdon held his breath as the helicopter dropped from the sky toward Dupont Circle..."





"A handful of pedestrians scattered as the aircraft decended through an opening in the trees and landed hard on the lawn just south of the famous two-tierd fountain designed by the same two men who created the Lincoln Memorial..."





"Thirty seconds later, Langdon was riding...in a SUV, tearing up New Hampshire avenue toward the House of the Temple"
