New York: Pocket Books, 2000. First Edition, first printing of the author's second book. 8vo, publisher’s original red cloth over orange boards, the spine lettered in gilt, in the original decorated dustjacket. 430 pp. A superior copy, as mint and pristine. FIRST EDITION. “An explosive international thriller, ANGELS & DEMONS careens from enlightening epiphanies to dark truths as the battle between science and religion turns to war.”
The novel introduces the character Robert Langdon, who is also the protagonist of Brown's subsequent 2003 novel, The Da Vinci Code; his 2009 novel, The Lost Symbol; and the 2013 novel INFERNO. Angels and Demons shares many stylistic literary elements with its more famous sequel, such as conspiracies of secret societies, a single-day time frame, and the Catholic Church.
