Critical Reception

• "Crammed with Vatican intrigue and hi-tech drama, Brown's tale is laced with twists and shocks that keep the reader wired right up until the final revelation. Packing the novel with sinister figures worthy of a Medici, Brown sets an explosive pace through a Michelin-perfect Rome." - Publishers Weekly

• "It is exceedingly well written. Mr. Brown makes no mistakes in plotting, and draws the reader's interest into unfamiliar territory with his accurate prose. Scientific matters are explained in terms laymen can easily understand." - The Mystery Reader Review
