'''''Angels & Demons''''' is a 2000 mystery-thriller written by [[Dan Brown]].
 
In his first adventure, Robert Langdon gets called late at night by the head of CERN, and gets faxed the picture of a mangled corpse, one of the facility's most prominent scientists, branded with the word "[[Illuminati]]" on his chest, which lights a fire under his ass. The Head of CERN, Maximilian Kohler, arranges for a plane to pick him up. Once at the CERN facility and joined by the late scientist's daughter, they find that a quarter gram (it's a lot, trust us) of Anti-Matter has been stolen.
 
Line 31 ⟶ 47:
* [[Fantastic Catholicism]]
* [[The Film of the Book]]: Released in 2009. Now with less stupid hair. To make things highly confusing, the film is a ''sequel'' to ''[[The Da Vinci Code]]''.
* [[Fun with Palindromes]]: A variant—itvariant -- it uses ambigrams instead (which read the same when turned upside-down).
* [[Gambit Roulette]]: {{spoiler|It also depends on him being NOT seen by Langdon and getting to the Anti-Matter, which he placed on Saint Peter's catacomb, on time. Needless to say, he's spotted by Langdon, and was interrogated by Kohler (who caught the whole thing on tape) before Kohler was shot.}}
** Even less plausible in [[The Film of the Book]], where the plan is {{spoiler|for ''Langdon'' to find the antimatter mere minutes before it detonates. A few minutes too soon, and the bomb is easily defused. A minute too late, and St. Peter's is destroyed, along with the Camerlengo.}} And that's just the most obvious flaw in the Xanatos' hilariously roundabout plan. Spotting the rest makes for one Hell of a drinking game.
