Popular author Dan Brown is a master at fiction that involves puzzles, mysteries and conspiracies and Angels and Demons is no exception. His character, symbologist Robert Langdon from the book The Da Vinci Code, becomes involved in a hunt that involves antimatter, the long-lost secret group the Illuminati as well as secrets of the Vatican. His chase to save the St. Peter’s and the Vatican from destruction sends him racing across Rome for clues to prevent the murder of 4 Cardinals and the explosion of antimatter. Brown’s story is exciting if improbable and his writing is not the most literary, but he tells a story filled with action and excitement, along with some interesting information about how things work in the Vatican.
