Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"Greg Taylor is the up-and-coming author in this field, and what he has to say makes fascinating reading." -- Bestselling author Graham Hancock.

In 2004, Greg Taylor decoded clues left on the cover of The Da Vinci Code to reveal the topics of the sequel to Dan Brown's bestseller. Five years before publication of The Lost Symbol, he wrote a book (Da Vinci in America, subsequently republished as The Guide to Dan Brown's The Solomon Key), correctly predicting that Freemasonry, Washington, D.C., the House of the Temple, Kryptos and many other locations and historical elements would play a part in the new book.

Now, in his revised and updated The Guide to Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol, Taylor gives the ultimate guide to Dan Brown's latest bestseller. From Noetic Science to the influence of Freemasonry and Deism on the Founding Fathers, the Guide fills in all the details so that you have a better understanding of many strange and secret topics that are covered in The Lost Symbol.

Greg Taylor is the perfect tour guide to The Lost Symbol.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic companion piece to Dan Brown's next novel!
Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2005

Being a student of "alternative history", in the same vein as Dan Brown, and being a reader of The Daily Grail, Greg Taylor's alternative news website, I am anxiously awaiting Brown's next edition. After getting Greg Taylor's book, I am even more excited, but much more prepared!

Greg takes us through many possible twists and turns of the next Brown novel. Even if Greg's ideas and possibilities are not included in the novel, I learned so much and found many other books I needed to read, study, and add to my personal library. I feel more prepared for Brown's next book and will not have to stop and look up nearly as much information as I go through the story.

Taylor's book is well written, well noted with a great bibliography! One you will want to use as a "wish list" and study guide. I thoroughly enjoyed it! If you're just a book worm and have enjoyed Brown's books, get this one and see if Greg turns out to be correct in what he believes the story line might be and the history intertwined within.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well done!

Under 200 pages, well written, loaded with references and end notes. Greg has a fairly unique ability as a writer to provide meaningful information and objectivity while keeping it interesting and concise. His ability and experience in the field allows him to catch on to things that slip past others. I've been a big fan of The Daily Grail for many years and the massive amounts of news and information it produces. His work both in this book and on Sub Rosa magazine takes that to an even greater level in terms of quality. To learn more, I'd recommend checking out the Daily Grail website and doing a search on "strange constructions". You'll find a sample chapter from the book there. Anxiously awaiting both Dan Brown and Greg Taylor to produce their next master pieces...

5.0 out of 5 stars Greg Taylor's Da Vinci in America
Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2005
There is a lot of information to be found in this book of 178 pages.

The first thing I am going to do now I have read it is to re-read Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons to look for all the interesting little things that this author pointed out in this book.

The chapter The Masonic Foundation of America is fascinating and readers will be surprised to learn that the Founding Fathers had Masonic involvement, and thus built the city of Washington on it's principles.

The book contains conspiracies, and cryptograms and how to decode them, the Ku Klux Klan and Rosicrucians and the not so tenuous link between the Templars and Freemasonry.

The book does not need any attachment to Dan Brown's The Solomon Key , but will stand alone as a handy item of reference for many years to come.

The first thing I am going to do now that I have read Greg Taylor's book is to re-read Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons to look for all the interesting little things that I missed on first reading and which Mr Taylor pointed out in this book.

The chapter The Masonic Foundation of America is fascinating and readers will be surprised to know, as was I, that the Founding Fathers had Masonic involvement, and so built the city of Washington on it's principles.

This book contains conspiracies and cryptograms and how to decode them;the Ku Kluk Klan and Rosicrucians and the not so tenuous link between the Templars and Freemasonry.

An over-riding factor of this book is that it does not need any attachment to Dan Brown's The Solomon Key, but will stand alone as a valuable reference item for the home library.
