The explosive Robert Langdon thriller from Dan Brown, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Da Vinci Code, The Lost Symbol, Inferno, and The Secret of Secrets.

An ancient secret brotherhood. A devastating new weapon of destruction. An unthinkable target. When world-renowned Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is summoned to his first assignment to a Swiss research facility to analyze a mysterious symbol—seared into the chest of a murdered physicist—he discovers evidence of the unimaginable: the resurgence of an ancient secret brotherhood known as the Illuminati...the most powerful underground organization ever to walk the earth. The Illuminati has now surfaced to carry out the final phase of its legendary vendetta against its most hated enemy—the Catholic Church.

Langdon’s worst fears are confirmed on the eve of the Vatican’s holy conclave, when a messenger of the Illuminati announces they have hidden an unstoppable time bomb at the very heart of Vatican City. With the countdown under way, Langdon jets to Rome to join forces with Vittoria Vetra, a beautiful and mysterious Italian scientist, to assist the Vatican in a desperate bid for survival.

Embarking on a frantic hunt through sealed crypts, dangerous catacombs, deserted cathedrals, and the most secretive vault on earth, Langdon and Vetra follow a 400-year-old trail of ancient symbols that snakes across Rome toward the long-forgotten Illuminati lair...a clandestine location that contains the only hope for Vatican salvation.

Critics have praised the exhilarating blend of relentless adventure, scholarly intrigue, and cutting wit found in Brown’s remarkable thrillers featuring Robert Langdon. An explosive international suspense, Angels & Demons marks this hero’s first adventure as it careens from enlightening epiphanies to dark truths as the battle between science and religion turns to war.©2000 Dan Brown; (P)2004 Simon & Schuster, Inc., AUDIOWORKS is an imprint of Simon & Schuster Audio Divison, Simon & Schuster, Inc.

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

This one falls into the "couldn't put it down" category. Immensely informative, energetic, with non-stop action. I was exhausted by the time I finished. I felt it far surpassed the DaVinci Code!

Excellent Book!

Would you listen to Angels and Demons again? Why?

Yes and I have listened to it multiple time since the first time.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

The plot will keep you interested until the end because of all the mystery surrounding each characters background and motives. Science and religion, forever apart or could they come together to prove the same thing.........

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I wish I could have but wasn't. I could see it as a book that could hold you for the whole time.

Best of Dan Brown

Found the unedited swallows of the narrator slightly unnerving for some reason 😅 Maybe some of my misophonic friends might dislike.

This was the most amazing book I have listened to thus far.

Dan Brown does so much research and describes what you are listening to in such detail that you know when you see it you will recognise it.

The story line was WOW! and then just as you think you know it all he hits you with a curve ball that knocks you right off course.

The characters are "real" the plot is plausible and the story line fantastic -

No better word than Amazing!

Thank you Dan Brown. This is a have to read book!

AMAZING!!

I loved, loved, LOVED this book. I was totally hooked into the plot and couldn't stop listen. The twists at the end kept you wondering and I have to say the narators voice for this was perfect, just enough mystery and suspense. Now I can't wait to see the movie although I know it will never be as good as the book.

Awesome!

Think of it as a really well paced suspence actine movie starting Harrison Ford. Yeah it's that good. I found this book to be an incredible listen. If you are looking for a great lead in to the main character of the DaVinci code then here it is. I personally think this was a better story then DaVinci code, but I really liked them both. Get them both get them unabridged and sit back and enjoy.

This book is like good butter. Smooth and rich.

If you could sum up Angels and Demons in three words, what would they be?

Power, intrigue and sadism.

What other book might you compare Angels and Demons to and why?

Martin's 'A Clash of Kings'...power, intrigue, sadism...not the way you'd expect.

Which scene was your favorite?

When Robert Langdon survives jumping from a helicopter without a parachute...oh boy!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Defenitely!

Any additional comments?

This book shows how little we actually know of what we THINK we know.

Take a close look at what you THINK you know.

I enjoyed this as much as DaVinci Code, and I really enjoyed the narration. Worth a download if you have some time to listen.

Comparable to DaVinci Code
