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.

More than what I expected...

The only reason I listen to this audiobook just to compare it to the movie which I like very much. This book goes in to very good details little confusing why this book was first then the da Vinci code.Overall great book recommended looking forward to the second book

Loved it, very different from the movie.

It was great, wish the movie would have stuck closer to the book and not changed the story.

Angels & Demons

Loved it. Couldn't turn it off. Had to find out what was going to happen next. I would reccomend it to anyone who likes Dan Brown Books.

Gripping Storyline

I enjoyed this book had me hanging a few times, really loved the narration Richard does a wonderful job.

Secret societies, ambigrams & old codes, oh my!

A review that can't be written as an ambigram and branded on flesh doesn't really seem worthy...
