One of the reasons why this novel is selling so fast is the need for an escapism for people in this times of economic doom and gloom, people need to feel engaged to stories that will allow them to forget about their financial problems and one thing that Mr Brown does well is to entertain people with his stories of shady societies that overpower governments and international organizations and that hide under a myriad of symbols and mythology.
