This book is based on real secret societies and knowledge, namely The Illuminati. I had a fair knowledge of what they were all about,but you pretty much get a better sense of how interconnected with society they are. Story is as follows: Robert Langdon is given some information in regards to a very progressive, dead physicist. He is whisked away to Switzerland, where he uncovers a plot . Dan Brown then, suddenly, drops the floor from you, and the entire scope of what you had just read for about 50 or so pages comes into the light at once. With this information, Robert, along with Vittoria, are on their way to Rome to try and stop the destruction that is set to occur that day, the eve of the "holy conclave", which is when they elect a new pope. Using his skills in symbology, Robert discovered the secrets that are left in front of your eyes all the while trying to beat the clock and save the City, and his own life, all the while trying to figure out who orchestrated this fiasco.
