The Lost Symbol Breaks Records

Dan Brown's new novel, The Lost Symbol, broke first day sales records for adult fiction on Tuesday, selling over one million copies in the US, Canada and the UK, reports reuters.com. In an article on EW.com , Carolyn Brown, spokeswoman for Barnes & Noble, explains that "no other adult fiction title even comes close" to the number of first day sales that The Lost Symbol achieved.

An electronic version of the book is also available for purchase.

Dan Brown is the author of Angels and Demons, and the vastly popular The Da Vinci Code, which was released in 2003. Six years later, he has created a sequential book that contains the return of Robert Langdon, the adventurous Harvard professor who goes on a search to uncover the myths surrounding the famous Freemasons. The suspenseful novel is set in Washington D.C. this time.

Whether or not The Lost Symbol will inspire the type of uproarious reaction The Da Vinci Code did, we will just have to wait and see.
