"Angels And Demons", Dan Brown

"For the first time in his life, Langdon wished he were holding a very big gun"

This is the book which comes before the Da Vinci Code, and in it we have more Robert Langdon, more code breaking, more chasing round exotic locations, more conspiracies, ancient secret fraternities and complicated murders, and more help from a cerebral yet gutsy and oddly attractive female companion. Apparently he's writing a third, I suspect we know the drill by now.

Actually, I think this one builds tension better and to a more exciting climax than the Da Vinci Code, although TDVC feels like a better written book in some ways. And again with the blindingly obvious not being twigged soon enough (or am I just naturally suspicious?). Recommended, though, as another book it was difficult to put down.
