"A ROCKET-FAST THRILLER...AN OUTSTANDING READ."
- Vince
Flynn, New York Times Bestselling Author of Consent to Kill
A shocking scientific
discovery. A conspiracy of staggering brilliance. A thriller unlike any you've
ever read.
When a NASA satellite discovers an astonishingly rare object
buried deep in the Arctic ice, the floundering space agency proclaims a much-needed
victory-a victory with profound implications for NASA policy and the impending
presidential election. To verify the authenticity of the find, the White House
calls upon the skills of intelligence analyst Rachel Sexton.
Accompanied
by a team of experts, including the charismatic scholar Michael Tolland, Rachel
travels to the Arctic and uncovers the unthinkable: evidence of scientific trickery
- a bold deception that threatens to plunge the world into controversy. But before
she can warn the president, Rachel and Michael are ambushed by a team of assassins.
Fleeing for their lives across a desolate and lethal landscape, their only hope
for survival is to discover who is behind this masterful plot. The truth, they
will learn, is the most shocking deception of all.

Pitting scientific
terrorists against the cardinals of Vatican City, this well-plotted if over-the-top
thriller is crammed with Vatican intrigue and high-tech drama. Robert Langdon,
a Harvard specialist on religious symbolism, is called in by a Swiss research
lab when Dr. Vetra, the scientist who discovered antimatter, is found murdered
with the cryptic word "Illuminati" branded on his chest. These Iluminati
were a group of Renaissance scientists, including Galileo, who met secretly in
Rome to discuss new ideas in safety from papal threat; what the long-defunct association
has to do with Dr. Vetra's death is far from clear. Vetra's daughter, Vittoria,
makes a frightening discovery: a lethal amount of antimatter, sealed in a vacuum
flask that will explode in six hours unless its batteries are recharged, is missing.
Almost immediately, the Swiss Guard discover that the flask is hidden beneath
Vatican City, where the conclave to elect a new pope has just begun. Vittoria
and Langdon rush to recover the canister, but they aren't allowed into the Vatican
until it is discovered that the four principal papal candidates are missing. The
terrorists who are holding the cardinals call in regarding their pending murders,
offering clues tied to ancient Illuminati meeting sites and runes. Meanwhile,
it becomes clear that a sinister Vatican entity with messianic delusions is in
league with the terrorists. Packing the novel with sinister figures worthy of
a Medici, Brown (Digital Fortress) sets an explosive pace as Langdon and Vittoria
race through a Michelin-perfect Rome to try to save the cardinals and find the
antimatter before it explodes. Though its premises strain credulity, Brown's tale
is laced with twists and shocks that keep the reader wired right up to the last
revelation
