Desperate to save the Vatican from a powerful time bomb, Langdon joins forces in Rome with the beautiful and mysterious scientist Vittoria Vetra. Together they embark on a frantic hunt through sealed crypts, dangerous catacombs, deserted cathedrals, and the most secretive vault on earth . . . the long-forgotten Illuminati lair. |

| I enjoyed this book for the religion vs. science dialog throughout. The backdrop of the book is the conflict between science and religion and there are characters throughout the book that fall between the two extremes of the conflict. The resulting ideas and conversations were often profound and enlightening. Some questions that were explored where "Is there a conflict at all?", "Which is worse, a science extremist, or a religious extremist?" Exciting and thought-provoking. |
