Following his critically acclaimed
novel, The Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown is setting the status quo for fictional
novels that not only fascinate the readers’ imagination, but also makes the
reader speculate about the intricacies of the hidden and esoteric involvement
of the Vatican church, masons, secret symbols, and secret knowledge that only
those in position of power may acquire. Brown’s novels are noticeably inspired
by the Indiana Jones legacy archetype by trying to emulate a thrilling
adventure through secret tunnels and his fascination with mythology, pyramids,
Holy Grails, treasure maps, secret codes, and spine-chilling near death
scenarios.
