The main plot line takes us to Rome and the Vatican where the pope has recently died and a new one is about to be elected.
There is a great crisis of time since the murders are now possessors of the anti-mater material bomb. Thus Kohler’s call to Langdon and we are off.Īnd off we do go into a crazy and fascinating world of intrigue, murder, plots and counter-plots, secrets and betrayals, always led by the brilliant and goody two-shoes, Robert Langdon, and, oh yes, of course, joined in the search for the murdered is the lovely daughter of the murdered man, herself a force to be reckoned with. Not only was Vetra murdered, but he has a symbol of the Illuminati brunt into his chest. He and his daughter Vittoria have been working on a very secret project of making anti-matter, as substance, perhaps best described as an anti-substance, which could be made into bombs of a sort never before imagined. Leonardo Vetra has been murdered in his lab. The murder itself has taken place at a super secret research facility that studies various aspects physics, claims it’s head, Maximilian Kohler. The novel then explodes into another facet, wild science fiction-like details and machines as he gets on his way, whisked from Boston to Switzerland by some new supersonic jet in under an hour. Langdon is most hesitant to run off to wherever this murder site is on the basis of a telephone call, but the mention of The Illuminati and a couple details of the murder immediately perk his attention, and he agrees. He is famous for this work, and was mentioned in some recent literature on the subject of a (seemingly) long-past anti-Catholic group, The Illuminati. Langdon studies ancient and historic religions and does so in great measure by looking at the sorts of symbols they use. More questions tumbled onto the floor and even some answers as the next few opening pages turned. What in the world is a religious symbolist and why might he be of interest in a murder case? But questions arose in this reader’s mind immediately. So opens Dan Brown’s novel, Angels & Demons. Robert Langdon, a religious symbolist at Harvard, is called to the scene of a murder to give the “investigator” some advice. ANGELS & DEMONS ANGELS & DEMONS Dan Brown
