From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Da Vinci Code comes the explosive thriller that started it all.

An ancient secret brotherhood. A devastating new weapon of destruction. An unthinkable target. When world-renowned Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is summoned to his first assignment to a Swiss research facility to analyze a mysterious symbol -- seared into the chest of a murdered physicist -- he discovers evidence of the unimaginable: the resurgence of an ancient secret brotherhood known as the Illuminati...the most powerful underground organization ever to walk the earth. The Illuminati has now surfaced to carry out the final phase of its legendary vendetta against its most hated enemy -- the Catholic Church.

Langdon's worst fears are confirmed on the eve of the Vatican's holy conclave, when a messenger of the Illuminati announces they have hidden an unstoppable time bomb at the very heart of Vatican City. With the countdown under way, Langdon jets to Rome to join forces with Vittoria Vetra, a beautiful and mysterious Italian scientist, to assist the Vatican in a desperate bid for survival.

Embarking on a frantic hunt through sealed crypts, dangerous catacombs, deserted cathedrals, and the most secretive vault on earth, Langdon and Vetra follow a 400-year-old trail of ancient symbols that snakes across Rome toward the long-forgotten Illuminati lair...a clandestine location that contains the only hope for Vatican salvation.

Critics have praised the exhilarating blend of relentless adventure, scholarly intrigue, and cutting wit found in Brown's remarkable thrillers featuring Robert Langdon. An explosive international suspense, Angels & Demons marks this hero's first adventure as it careens from enlightening epiphanies to dark truths as the battle between science and religion turns to war.

One of the best Robert Langdon of them all, and I have read all five of his books to date.

I am not religious but this book managed to explain quite a few things. It is very well written and hard to put aside. As in all of his books Dan Brown manages to surprise you at the end. Maybe it also helps if you have not seen the movie like I have. Highly recommended

Robert Langdon is searching for a series of clues that will lead him along the “path of illumination” following this path will lead him to the spot where the illuminati has regrouped in order to get their revenge on the Catholic Church.
The path of illumination is marked by the four elements of science “Earth, Air, Fire & Water”.
Following works of art by the Italian artist Bernini, Langdon races against the clock to save Vatican City and the people in it.

Wow. What an adventure. I adored this novel. As a wannabe art enthusiast the way Brown fuses historical, architectural, & artistic fact with fiction is just such a pleasure to read.
The story is clear and easy to follow, perfectly paced, engaging and immersive. The characters in the book each have a well thought out role and a reason to be there.

I enjoyed the beginning, the middle & the end and wouldn’t change a single word, plot or person in this book.

I’m heading for a short break to Rome in March of this year (2023) and I will absolutely be visiting each of the four pillars and church of illumination.

1. Chigi Chapel (Habakkuk and the Angel)
2. The marble elliptical block at the base of the monolith in St. Peter’s Square. (West Ponente)
3. The Ecstasy of St. Teresa at church of Santa Maria Della Vittoria.
4. Fiumi Fountain - The Fountain of the Four Rivers

Finally.
- Castel Sant’ Angelo — Castle of the Angel.

I really enjoyed this book. It was just as good as the first time that I read it. I can't wait to read it again in the future.

I am a bit late to the party here but it was worth it. A page turner and non stop action. Fascinating look in to religion.

There is a lot of detail in this book but I thoroughly enjoyed the story and hope I learned some facts on the way about my favourite country, Italy.

Angels and Demons

Approximately fifteen years ago I was introduced to the writing of Dan Brown. More by accident than design I picked up a copy of his entertaining but controversial book ‘The Da Vinci Code’ and read it over a day or two. However the story of the main character, symbologist Robert Langdon did not begin with that book it commenced in Brown’s earlier publication ‘Angels and Demons’.

An eminent scientist is murdered and items relating to his work are removed from his laboratory. Simultaneously the leaders of the Catholic Church are about to go into conclave to elect a new pope. Unbeknownst to the cardinals four of their number disappear just prior to conclave commencing. There is also evidence of the missing laboratory item having been placed on the grounds of Vatican City. Rumours abound of the return of a historical anti-Catholic organisation known as the Illuminati.

Langdon is brought in because of his historical knowledge of the Illuminati. Drawing on his knowledge he follows the Illuminati trail across Rome in an effort to find who the modern day perpetrators are. Assisted by the murdered scientists daughter and having access to the Vatican archives Langdon finds evidence of Church secrets going back many centuries.

In a book which simultaneously highlights the spiritual core of the Catholic Church whilst challenging the concept of Papal infallibility Brown creates a drama which keeps readers guessing right until the last pages. Made into a successful but sadly inferior movie the book enriches the reader with its attention to detail and its emphasis on the historical evolution of the Catholic Church. Brown makes public the perhaps privately held view that the Church has focused on suppressing the human spirit to fit into a narrative of its own making.

I enjoyed my return to this eminently readable book. Truthful? Who knows. It certainly raises questions on topics that the Catholic Church has always regarded as being sacrosanct. Written several hundred years ago I suspect Brown might have had to deal with a lot more direct criticism from the Vatican than he actually received. However one thing is clear and that is the Catholic Church’s actions then and now shows its human frailty and human limitations more clearly than I suspect they would like?
