The Illuminati has now surfaced to carry out the final phase of its legendary vendetta against and age-old enemy.
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.

compared to the masterpieces that is Da Vinci Code, Angels & Demons is disappointing (but not absolutely bad!)

'Angles and Demons' is a fantastic fast-paced book to start the Robert Langdon series. From high speed chases to gore, this book has it all (though it's not one you'll be able to put down in a hurry - I read it in 5 days!). Vivid descriptions throughout along with fully developed and interesting characters (even with so many, I connected with them all).
