Are all aspects of "The Lost Symbol" realistic? I love Dan's books (IMHO Digital Fortress is the best of the 5 he's written) and I am not quite yet finished with "The Lost Symbol," but the one premise in the storyline that has really thrown me off as not really plausible is the manner in which Mal'akh was able to befriend and get in the circles of Peter and Katherine sooooo quickly! Both are highly intelligent people and some of the things are just kind of hard for me to swallow. For example, Katherine believing that her brother has mastered the use of his new iPhone with the text message... I would want to hear my brother's voice! Anyone in possession of a phone can send a text and I can't believe she did not think of that.  Then, I do understand that Mal'akh being 33rd degree would make him privy to 'new' secrets, but did Peter have to start with the most guarded secret?Is it just me or is there some light shed on this in the end of the book? Did anyone else feel this way as they were reading the novel?
