<angels and demons>

recently, i have completed my thickest book yet, angels and demons. it was rather interesting, and it always probed me to read further and further, until i had finished the whole book.
it was about the camerlengo remaking a past cult, the illumanti. he wanted to do this to strike fear in the hearts of the poeple by placing a deadly, explosive amount of anti-matter, which threatens to blow up the whole vatican city. later on, the camerlengo would pretend God had sent him a sign, and find the antimatter that he himself had hidden, letting religion claim credit for that man-made scene. reason being more and more religious happenings were being proved by Science itself, and the camerlengo felt a need to do something so great, he would turn the tables permanently on Science.
this act would have gone unoticed if not for the director of CERN, Dr. Kohler, who had sent robert and vittoria on their quest for the antimatter at the start. from DR. Vetra's records(antimatter creater), Kohler discovered that the only person that knew about antimatter, other than vittoria, was the camerlengo himself.
Kohler consulted the camerlengo, hoping to make the camerlengo tell him the truth. he knew it was likely to be a trip of no return, so he discreetly placed a camera under his wheelchair(he was a cripple).
now, the camerlengo wanted to heroicly get rid of the antimatter by killing himself in a one way trip up in a helicopter. Robert misinterpreys this and goes with the camerlengo. to his greatest surprise, the camerlengo takes a parachute and jumps just before the explosion.
robert on the other hand, falls into the water with minor injuries. he now views the video Kohler(whom he thought led th illumanti) had left him. it was on ly now he found out that the camerlengo had branded himself! and had put the blame on Kohler, then shot him to death.
later on the scam is ruined and another more trusty cardinal is elected pope.
this story tells of the extent anyone will go to achieve something, the camerlengo threatened to destroy the whole vatican city, brand 4 would-be popes and kill anyone let in on his secret plan, only shows the extent anyone will go to achieve what they think is the right way.
the bad side human nature in this book is kept ferociously fresh.
