In Chapter-3 there is a phone number. If you call the number (a 202 area code) you get the voice mail for the character in the book.

I recall the Da Vinci Code had some sort of phone number/website/email thing that gave you a puzzle to solve as you played along

As did the dust jacket of the book, which I'd say has been repeated on the cover of the new book.

I didn't see the villian coming. You guys must all be smarter then me.

In a way it very much goes with what I've felt - there are power in thoughts. I don't believe in God yet I do believe in the power of prayer.

I'm curious as to how much is fact vs. fiction. Obviously the main story is fiction - I'm talking about the various historical and scientific things mentioned.

Spoiler: My overall impression, the book was too much like the The Da Vinci Code. Same basic plot, same basic bad guy, same supposed "earth shattering" revelations about religion. Perhaps it's because I live here and know the area, but I was pretty much ahead of him most of the way. Still it was fun to follow along using the Internet/Google/Google Earth/etc... Did anyone not see the truth about the villain from the get go? Or not figure out where the end of the trail would lead? __________________ - Taking it one step at a time.

I kept hoping there would be some sort of twist and it would end up being someone else. That never happend so I was kind of disapointed. And yea pretty much DaVinci Code in a different setting. It was kind of like eating cotton candy - melts in your mouth but not very satisfying after. __________________ My life is so exciting I can hardly stand it.
