What secrets lie at the heart of America?
Discover the hidden reality behind Dan Brown’s The Lost Symbol . . . and America itself. Just as there is only one Dan Brown, there is also only one secrets team that has achieved worldwide bestselling success by exposing the truth beneath Brown’s bestselling novels.

Which Founding Fathers were members of secret societies?What is the true background of the Ancient Mysteries?
Does The Lost Symbol have a hidden religious agenda?
What is the actual role of Freemasons in American history?
What do the hidden codes embedded in the novel tell us?

The Best Companion to The Lost Symbol, Dec 1 2009
By L. Mcelhiney "Porgy Tirebiter" - Published on Amazon.com
Though there has been a siginificant gap since the publishing of Dan Brown's previous book, "The Da Vinci Code", and Burstein's "The Secrets of the Code", Daniel Burstein's "Secrets of The Lost Symbol" has arrived right on the heels of Brown's latest offering.
Once again, a comprehensive group of authors works as an ensemble cast to produce a nearly encyclopedic analysis of a Dan Brown work for our betterment. Each of the authors has penned an essay on their own particular area of expertise, as a leading expert in the field, with the possible exception of James Sanborn, as the sculptor of KRYPTOS, located inside the security of the CIA's Langley center, since he is not only the leading expert, but the "keeper of the 'keys'" as well.
At the other edge, author Elonka Dunin [Nola K(ay)e] does an exceptional job of defining KRYPTOS from the public's view, as she is probably the leading repository of KRYPTOS knowledge outside the mind of Mr. Sanborn!
This book is highly recommended to those who want to understand how "The Lost Symbol" relates to our real world.

secrets of the lost symbol, Dec 26 2009
By Sandra K. West - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Secrets Of The Lost Symbol (Hardcover)
itisn't often that you read a bestseller and then buy a book that explains the bestseller and that book is so much better than the original. but it happens over and over when you read any "secrets of the code..." books by dan burstein and arne de keijzer. get on the bandwagon and buy the book "secrets of the lost symbol". this book is better than dan brown's original book.
1.0 out of 5 stars
Nothing special., Dec 16 2011
By Mark Simonson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Secrets Of The Lost Symbol (Paperback)
If you get excited about over-glorified conspiracies and bad books by bad authors, this book is made for you.The whole book adds nothing to the discussion and is not edited well. The section with Elunka is truly garbage. I never thought a Dunin could be so unsuccessful. She failed to live up to the name she boasts in the book.
Don't waste your time nor money on this trash.
