"To live in this world without becoming aware of the meaning of the world is like wandering about in a great library without touching the books." This quote from The Secret Teachings of All Ages begins the novel, followed by an important fact describing a cryptic document locked in a CIA safe since 1991 that contains references to an ancient portal. Although the Freemasons, the Invisible College, and the Institute of Noetic Sciences as well as monuments and artwork depicted in the novel are described as real, I doubt that the document in question actually exists - it would be interesting if it did!
The prologue introduces us to a mysterious character who is sure to play an important part in the adventure. Characteristically, Robert Langdon, famous symbologist and historian, is interrupted from his daily life when he receives an impromptu invitation to deliver a speech at the U.S. Capitol building by his longtime mentor, Peter Solomon, who is a Freemason. This will inevitably spark an unstoppable chain of events that will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the final outcome is revealed.
