Angels & Demons - Dan Brown

I would have to argue with samia here a bit since according to me this is Dan Browns best work. No offence dear but the plot which he puts forward in this book surpasses everything.

Brown's famous character Robert Langdon (Da Vinci Code) is introduced in this book. A professor of symbology finds himself in the worlds largest nuclear research facility CERN where a scientist has been brutally murdered. His final discovery antimatter, a powerful energy source, has disappeared only to be hidden somewhere beneath Vatican City on the eve of the election of a new pope. Who did it? An ancient legendary secret society, the Illuminati--dedicated since the time of Galileo to promoting the interests of science and condemning the blind faith of Catholicism.

Langdon joins the scientist's daughter, Vittoria, on a mad dash through some of Rome's most famous landmarks, in an effort to find the anti-matter before the Vatican is leveled. As Langdon and Vittoria set off on their investigation, they follow a trail of multiple ritualistic murders, the threatened obliteration of an entire country, the potential death of a major world religion, secret societies that go back 500 years, new scientific discoveries that will change the world, and much more. This is one page-turner which is definitely worth a read.
