Pacific Passion
This book is woven around the Masons and Noetic Science. Dan tries to
explain that religious implications of miracles are possible through
Science. Science and religion are the same however religion teaches
mankind, Science does not teach one to be a good human being. Dan describes
Masons as not a secret society but a society with secrets. At certain
places I found the description quite scary with lots of skulls and bones.
Malakh the villain in this story also looked dangerous. The book mainly
talks of ancient wisdom as the hidden treasure and through science we are
rediscovering the lost knowledge that our ancestors already possessed. The
story is about one family “The Solomon’s” who are considered as one of the
wealthiest family. Solomon is a freemason with a 33rd degree. Katherine his
sister is a scientist and her area of study is Noetic science. She conducts
and documents a number of experiments in her highly sophisticated lab
presented by her brother. Through an experiment of a dying man she proves
that there exist soul and is different from the body and the soul has mass.
The illuminati in the story is a prodigal son of Solomon who accepts wealth
for wisdom and choices his own way of living, later realizes he has made a
wrong choice and kidnaps his father to gain access to the ancient wisdom.
In this trail he cuts the hand of his father and displays it in a museum.
Robert Langdon is called to decipher the symbols and Katherine joins him in
tracing her missing brother. There are a lot of references to religion,
numerology, ancient history, Noetic science and physics. Freemasonry is
highly explained. The whole story is around Washington DC. Dan describes
Washington as not just a capital city but a place with hidden secrets.
This book held more suspense, than the other books I read. I didn’t like
the way it ended. When the secrets were revealed there were quite ordinary
things, there was nothing much surprising when compared to the plot to
acquire and safeguard it from going into the wrong hands. First half was
quite interesting. The religious term sacrifice is well explained. This
book is the third in Robert Langdon Series a continuation of Da Vinci Code.
This book was initially named “The Solomon’s Key” and was later renamed to
“The Lost Symbol”.
