# The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown
ok, so the next book by Dan Brown is titled “The Lost Symbol” (even though it had the code-name through writing of “The Solomon Key”), and will be released in September 2009.
All of the Dan Brown fans seem to be excited to get their hands on it. But many Freemasons are worried…. the reason… because The Lost Symbol is rumoured to be about Freemasonry (but as of yet we don’t have full evidence of this). Dan Brown is very well known to make very tenuous links between things, and merge fiction with non-fiction… so as a warning, please don’t believe everything that he says, and remember that he is a fiction writer.
However, there is some clever marketing going on at the Random House which involves the new “The Lost Symbol Website“, as well as a @lostsymbolbook twitter feed.
The twitter feed of which has the first post of:
Codes of ethics? T 10 C; 6 P O T SOD; 12 S O T Z
Which I know what it means 
It means:
The Ten Commandments ; Six Points Of The Star Of David ; 12 Signs Of The Zodiac.
Enjoy their cryptic clues!

Hi Brother,
I know what you are saying, that Freemasons are worried about the book, but I don’t think we should be. I’m 100% certain that Dan Brown will paint Freemasonry in a bad light, as this will get him book sales, but I am looking forward to analysing and disseminating any arguments or anti-masonic points he makes and use it as an opportunity to evangelise Freemasonry and show people that we’re not a Secret Society, or a religion, or an Illuminati breeding ground or devil worshippers or whatever other ridiculous conspiracies get thrown around again. I think that as Freemasons we should be proud of our traditions and morals and should not take the upcoming onslaught on the chin, but push back and let people know who we really are and what we stand for. We’re about to get a very big spotlight pointed at us and we should not be worried about using it to our advantage…
BTW - good call on solving the cryptic code!
