Have you seen the cover of the new Dan Brown book? The book is called “The Lost Symbol” and the cover contains many Masonic references. The book will be released on September 15, 2009 and the US version contains allusions to the symbols of the 33rd Degree of Scottish Rite Masonry. Incidenally, 09/15/09 = 33 (we won’t tell him it’s technically 35 if you include the full year, shall we?)

The plot of the book is ostensibly related to Freemasonry and Washington DC. The rest is shut up tight with the publisher. Here’s Dan Brown’s Facebook page for an ongoing commentary: http://www.facebook.com/DanBrown .

Here’s a fun little widget to count down the time until the book is released. I expect we’ll be seeing a lot of Masonic activity in the days to come.
