Synopsis: In Angels and Demons, a physicist is murdered. A new form of antimatter disappears from a high-security laboratory. And a mysterious symbol points to the return of the Illuminati – a secret society believed to have vanished centuries ago. Before he becomes famous in The Da Vinci Code, Robert Langdon finds himself facing one of the most dangerous cases of his career.
Angels and Demons Book Full Description
When a CERN scientist is found murdered, Harvard professor Robert Langdon is called in to examine a strange symbol branded onto the victim’s body. He recognizes it as the ancient mark of the Illuminati, a secret brotherhood that was supposedly destroyed centuries earlier. But if the Illuminati are truly gone, who left the symbol — and why?
The mystery becomes far more urgent when Langdon learns that a canister of antimatter has been stolen from CERN. The substance has been secretly transported to Rome and hidden somewhere inside Vatican City. With the clock running down, Langdon must find it before the antimatter explodes.
Working alongside physicist Vittoria Vetra, Langdon follows a trail of clues through Rome, from ancient churches and underground catacombs to forgotten crypts and hidden corners of the Vatican. The clues lead him through centuries of history and into the shadows of a long-running conflict between science and religion.
With the papal conclave about to begin and the threat growing by the hour, Langdon has little time to separate fact from deception. What starts as a murder investigation soon becomes a race through Rome in which every symbol, monument, and historical secret could hold the key to survival.
Angels & Demons is the novel that first introduced readers to Robert Langdon. It combines historical mysteries, secret societies, religious symbolism, scientific discoveries, and a fast-moving thriller plot. Published before The Da Vinci Code, it offers an earlier look at the character and the style of mystery-adventure that would later make Dan Brown internationally famous.
Notable: Introduces Robert Langdon before The Da Vinci Code; centers on the Illuminati and a Vatican-based conspiracy.
