What she finds blows her mind away, and it is so amazing that it can destroy her father’s campaign and Zachary Herney is a truly amazing human being, up close. Her bewilderment increases when she is asked to corroborate a key evidence of NASA as an outside expert! Michael Tolland, a television personality and Corky Marlinson, an independent scientist, join her in the validation. She is against everything her father personally and politically expounds. Her father is a Presidential hopeful and is ahead in the polls, not least due to his virulent opposition to the wasteful expenditure of NASA of late. Rachel Sexton, daughter of the presidential candidate Senator Sedgewick Sexton, is surprised when President Zachary Herney calls for her.
MALAKH THE LOST SYMBOL CODE
We have already reviewed Angels and Demons, The Da Vinci Code and Digital Fortress from the author in this blog before. I would rank his books personally in the following order, from best to least good: Angels and Demons, The Da Vinci Code, The Lost Symbol (this one), Deception Point and lastly Digital Fortress. The story is still good and keeps your interest, but is this the best book he has written? No. Really? It is like those cartoons where Sylvester Cat is chopped to bits and the next scene it is whole, doing its next prank. After suffering a great loss (to tell you more would be to give away the plot), in the very next scene the characters behave as if nothing at all has happened and are ‘excited to show Langdon the greatest spectacle he has ever seen’. If Dan Brown thought that material is exciting enough to fill in for the story at the end, I suppose he is in a minority. What is even more disappointing is what fills the last 40 pages. The story, in my view, ends quite a few pages (about 40) before the end of the book and that is a disappointment. Religion and the bible enter the picture again but only peripherally. The story is not as gripping as the Da Vinci Code since the subject matter is mundane. The tension is there, a cute girl is there, and a puzzle to solve.

The story races ahead with a lot of trivia and technical wizardry. He is not aware that he has started on a desperate race to solve a puzzle and save his mentor and friend, Peter Solomon, whose severed hand is left as a clue on the centre of the hallway of the building.Īnd so starts another treasure hunt of symbols, chase by the FBI and keeping one step ahead of both the police and a vicious killer Malakh, who is determined to get to the end of the puzzle with Langdon’s help.

But when he enters the lecture hall and finds no one waiting for him, he realizes that something is very wrong. When he enters the auditorium where he is expected to give his lecture, he is already a few minutes late and is frantic. When Langdon is called for a lecture to Washington, he is asked to bring in a box that was given to him for safekeeping. This time it is Washington DC that is chosen as the locale of unexpected wonders. The storytelling style is familiar and even the explosive twist is there in the book – and yet, it does not look as taut as the last two books of Dan Brown. All the normal Dan Brown ingredients are there: The World’s Shortest Chapters, the taut suspense at the end of each chapter, the tension, the famous hero Robert Langdon – the symbologist – everything is there. After the spectacular success of his fourth book ( The Davinci Code – See the review elsewhere in this forum), this is his latest book.
