Amazon.com Review A murder in the silent after-hour halls of the Louvre museum
reveals a sinister plot to uncover a secret that has been protected
by a clandestine society since the days of Christ. The victim is a
high-ranking agent of this ancient society who, in the moments
before his death, manages to leave gruesome clues at the scene that
only his granddaughter, noted cryptographer Sophie Neveu, and Robert
Langdon, a famed symbologist, can untangle. The duo become both
suspects and detectives searching for not only Neveu's grandfather's
murderer but also the stunning secret of the ages he was charged to
protect. Mere steps ahead of the authorities and the deadly
competition, the mystery leads Neveu and Langdon on a breathless
flight through France, England, and history itself...
Amazon.com Review Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is shocked to find proof that
the legendary secret society, the Illuminati--dedicated since the
time of Galileo to promoting the interests of science and condemning
the blind faith of Catholicism--is alive, well, and murderously
active. Brilliant physicist Leonardo Vetra has been murdered, his
eyes plucked out, and the society's ancient symbol branded upon his
chest. His final discovery, antimatter, the most powerful and
dangerous energy source known to man, has disappeared--only to be
hidden somewhere beneath Vatican City on the eve of the election of
a new pope. Langdon and Vittoria, Vetra's daughter and colleague,
embark on a frantic hunt through the streets, churches, and
catacombs of Rome, following a 400-year-old trail to the lair of the
Illuminati, to prevent the incineration of civilization.
Amazon.com Review Adventure, romance, murder, skullduggery, and nail-biting tension
ensue. By the end of Deception Point, the reader will be much better
informed about how our space program works and how our politicians
react to new information.
Amazon.com Review In most thrillers, "hardware" consists of big guns, airplanes,
military vehicles, and weapons that make things explode. Dan Brown
has written a thriller for those of us who like our hardware with
disc drives and who rate our heroes by big brainpower rather than
big firepower. It's an Internet user's spy novel where the good guys
and bad guys struggle over secrets somewhat more intellectual than
just where the secret formula is hidden--they have to gain
understanding of what the secret formula actually is.
