« World-renowned Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is summoned to a Swiss research facility to analyze a cryptic symbol seared into the chest of a murdered physicist. What he discovers is unimaginable : a deadly vendetta against the catholic church by a centuries-old underground organization – the illuminati. Desperate to save the vatican from a powerful time bomb, langdon joins forces in Rome with the beautiful and mysterious scientist Vittoria Vetra. Together they embark on a frantic hunt through sealed crypts, dangerous catacombs, deserted cathedrals, and the most secretive vault on earth…the long-forgotten illuminati lair. »

Despite some overlong passages, I really enjoyed this great adventure in Rome, particularly as I read it.......when our actual Pope died ! ! !

repéré dans une wish list...alors il part se promener un peu !

A peine j'avais constitué une wish-list et déjà, j'ai reçu un des bouquins. Merci Bilken de l'avoir consultée !

I liked it much better than Da Vinci code. It was more gripping and a little more believable, although the ending made me think of a James Bond movie.

I read the book a long time ago but I wanted this copy for my mother. I passed it on to her today and it's with her in another part of the New Jersey rural area. I'll set it to "pc" for now because I don't know how long she'll have it. Thanks, Tamsine!
