From Shelf Awareness:
The Lost Symbol, Dan Brown’s long-anticipated follow-up to The Da Vinci Code, will be published September 15 by Knopf Doubleday. A first printing of five million copies is planned for the book. The New York Times noted that “fans and the publisher have been waiting a long time for Mr. Brown to finish the new book. It was originally scheduled for a 2005 delivery. The Lost Symbol will again feature Robert Langdon, the protagonist of The Da Vinci Code.
We’ve been waiting quite a long time for this book and I fear that with such high expectations combined with such a long wait (see: when is Dan Brown’s new book coming out? from Jan. 2008) this book is a prime candidate for a let-down. I love the langdon series and am very much looking forward to it’s release. It’s hard to imagine how Langdon’s exploits can match the last two books without him turning into a Bondesque charicature. While Dan Brown may not have the prettiest prose he sure can deliver a story.
With Dan Brown’s next book due out soon we’ve had a couple of discussions in our book shop about the values of books by Dan Brown. Unlike some authors that find a way to put out a couple of books every year, Dan Brown is considerably less prolific. He has published only four books in his 12 year career. What I would love to know is any print run information on books by Dan Brown. We then want to do a little analysis on the current First Edition values in relation to the print runs. Any info can be left in the comments section and will be greatly appreciated. I will incorporate it into the post. If this proves interesting we will try and repeat the exercise with a few other authors.

Digital Fortress - St. Martins Press (1996)

And of course Dan Browns next book is called The Solomon Key, another Da Vinci code type thriller featuring Robert Langdon. The story supposedly revolves around the Freemasons and the Founding Fathers.
