World-renowned symbologist Robert Langdon is summoned for his first assignment at Switzerland, to decipher a symbol that has been seared on the chest of a murdered physicist in a Swiss research facility. He incidentally discovers the emergence of a secret cult: The Illuminati, which has now resurfaced to deliver its final blow of vendetta against its sworn enemy, the Catholic Church. Angels and Demons: A Novel (Robert Langdon) is a story about Robert Langdon’s quest for truth, his fight with the all-powerful Illuminati and his efforts to stop them from destroying the citadel of the holy Catholic Church, the Vatican.
Robert Langdon pairs with Italian scientist Vittoria Vetra to assist the Vatican in locating a time bomb that the Illuminati has planted right at the heart of the Vatican City. This is announced by the Illuminati on the eve of a holy conclave to select a new Pope in place of the earlier Pope who has recently passed away.
Robert and Vittoria embark on a desperate hunt to locate the bomb through deserted cathedrals, sealed crypts, dangerous catacombs and the most-protected and secretive chamber of the world: The vault, which contains all ancient artefacts, scrolls and writings within the Vatican. They are led on a trail in Rome through ancient symbols right up to the lair of the Illuminati. Will Robert and Vittoria be successful in defeating the schemes of the Illuminati to destroy the holiest seat of the Catholic Church: The Vatican?
