Angels and Demons

A Novel

De: Dan Brown

Narrado por: Richard Poe

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

San Francisco Chronicle A breathless, real-time adventure....Exciting, fast-paced, with an unusually high IQ.

Excellent Book!

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!

Best of Dan Brown

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.

great suspense story!

it was a great story. insight into the church. very suspensful. didn't want to get out of my car!

Slight misophonia trigger

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

Awesome as one would expect

Simply an awesome story by Dan Brown, probably his best in my opinion...Also well read by Richard Poe, with all it takes to keep you captivated...I certainely recommend this AudioBook. I did have some problems with bookmarking when shutting off...not sure if it was me, the shuffle,the way it was recorded or what !
