Langdon’s worst fears are confirmed on the eve of the holy conclave, when a messenger of the Illuminati announces they have hidden an unstoppable time bomb at the very heart of Vatican City. The Illuminati has now surfaced to carry out the final phase of its legendary vendetta against its most hated enemy-the Catholic Church. 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. For some reason, the mood just struck me and I decided it was time to check out the first book in the Robert Langdon series, Angels and Demons. That was at least 10 years ago that I read that book, so I felt like I was long overdue for a Robert Langdon mystery. I didn’t care how unbelievable or bad the writing, the story itself was so good that I was reading well into the night, every night. I will fully admit, I loved The Da Vinci Code. Did that stop me from reading this book in a frenzy? Absolutely not! Are his stories far fetched and unbelievable? Yes.
