A Secular Franciscan looks at the world... with a more jaundiced eye than ever... and lots of ellipses for you to fill in the missing text... (with thanks to Thomas S. Klise for the title)
While the book was a ripping good yarn it was a little off-putting to have the book and movie promoted as 'truth' (which was refuted by even the most anti-Catholic Christians). I haven't been missing a sequel...
The one thing that I can say is that Dan Brown uses a template for his novels. Expect "the solomon key" to be exactly like the Da vinci Code only with a few of the names and locations changed.
I was rather underwhelmed by the DaVinci Code. Given the great popularity of the book, I thought perhaps I had missed something. So, I read the "prequel". It was, literally, the same book. I realize that a lot of writers likely do the same thing, but most of them are just a lot less obvious.

Yes. I expect that. Lots of prolific writers do the same thing, I think. I didn't realize Mr. Brown did as I've only read the one book of his.
