... as reported in The Independent (Ireland):
Best-selling authors are frantically racing to get their latest titles on the bookshelves as it is revealed Dan Brown's new blockbuster, the long awaited sequel to The Da Vinci Code, will be published on September 15.
The cover of The Lost Symbol was unveiled just last week and shot the book straight into Amazon's top 10, over two months before it is to hit bookstores. ...
Perhaps Dan Brown's sixth novel—slated, I'm guessing, for 2016, after seven years of "intense research"—could be called Muhammad's Forgotten Fable or The Quranic Cipher. Then the reclusive novelist from New Hampshire could display his bold irreverence and historical acumen in a new and exciting manner, one certain to spark all sorts of illuminating dialogue and intellectual discussion.
Ron Howard would never have the courage to make that Brown novel, i.e., one touching on Muhammad. Only comic-book versions of Catholicism will do.
