A devastating new weapon of destruction.
An unthinkable target...
When world-renowned Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is summoned 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 surfaced from the shadows 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 he has 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 even to the heart of 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 secret location that contains the only
hope for Vatican salvation.
An explosive
international thriller, ANGELS & DEMONS careens from enlightening epiphanies to
dark truths as the battle between science and religion turns to war...
