"I fell into a burning ring of fire" - Johnny Cash.

It was my mistake; I saw the name Plato and thought it might have a more philosophical take-off of Plato. Now I see that the description is Dan Brown's wannabe. The book is peppered with pieces of Plato. I see the Dan Brown formula where we take some real history and some speculative history and turn it into a thriller. A missing person and no mention of pomegranates.
