Da Vinci Code Sequel Is Published Posthumously

Among the possessions of the late author of the Da Vinci Code, Tan Vrown, was found an unpublished book, The Power of the Code. After careful analysis of the text, which had been written in code itself, using the Greek alphabet, but spelling out English words in reverse order, the book was published to equally astounding results.

The chief focus of the book is Ms. Sophie Neveu, herself, as well as her protectors, the Priory of Sion. This formidable force was able to coerce various religious groups into remaining anonymous and silent with the newfound power and information discovered in the previous book. As a result, both Mary Magdalene's descendant and the Priory of Sion came to amass an enormous fortune, and with it, enormous power. Great technological advances were patented by this Secret Force and thus, in a matter of decades, they were able to exert enormous influence and to control, virtually, the machines of business and civilization.

Only small groups, hiding in remote wilderness areas, were able to survive the compassionate arrogance of the Secret Force. While the majority of the world's civilization had become attuned and complacent with the new world order, the very agents that had originally carried out the demise of the author, continued to pursue their goals, albeit on a minor scale.

The ending of the book, which surprised followers of Tan Vrown and his coterie of well-wishers, was evidently a sign of the regrets the author was having, before his unforeseen demise, because of the negative effect the Da Vinci Code had affected on public morals and humanity's vision of itself.

So distasteful was the technocracy that the Secret Force had implemented that--before the final outrage had been committed: the rewriting of history to delete any mention of the purported ancestors of the Secret Force--the Perfect Realists and their one-time adversaries, the Futurists, invoked the ultimate solution to the world's problems. They were able to rediscover and access an ancient system of beliefs, known as Eighth-Day Futurism, www.perfectfuturo.com/writings/happiness.html, that would change the course of their technocratic world.
