The best novel by dan brown, better than "The Da vinci code", Dan Brown exelled at his peak..... Really thundering story plot.. Leonardo Vetra, a brilliant scientist trying to bridge science with religion, is murdered in his pent house. The murder is shocking and the motive is soon discovered..... Even the killer’s identity is known but the group he belongs to has been thought of as dead. Leonardo Vetra’s chest has been branded with the symetrical ambigram "Illuminati". The Illuminati were a satanic cult founded by galileo in the 1630s to fight the Church but have been thought as deceased by most for the last 50 years. The ambigram shocks everyone and so Harvard symbiologist Robert Langdon is called to do further study while Vittoria Vetra , Leonardo Vetra’s adopted scientist-daughter also comes in.
The Vetras were working on a highly secretive project where they were breaking scientific rules by creating matter from nothing . With the help of this, Leonardo Vetra planned to prove that both Genesis and the Big Bang Theory were right. But before he could do so he was murdered and his created explosive, antimatter, was stolen from his lab. Antimatter is shown to be 10 times more explosive than a nuclear warhead and it is automatically programmed to explode in 24 hours. Robert Langdon and Vittoria Vetra go on a wild-goose chase across the Vatican City to find Leonardo’s killer and also to help find the antimatter. Oh, by the way, the life of four cardinals (high priests) also hang in the balance.........
