The Illuminati has surfaced from the shadows 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 he has 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 even to the heart of 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 secret location that contains the only hope for Vatican salvation.
An explosive international thriller, ANGELS & DEMONS careens from enlightening epiphanies to dark truths as the battle between science and religion turns to war...

I enjoyed this book and can't wait to see the film.
I own one Dan Brown book and enjoy reading it "The Fortress".
Regarding the last sentence, the "battle of science and religion", just a thought, but this is mostly a construct of the media, and there are quite a few scientists who are devout Christians. There is no battle.
I would suggest you read and do a review of the life of Isaac Newton sometime as a prime example. A strong man of faith, he was also one of the single most brilliant scientific minds ever.
