Synopsis:

Complemented by an original score by Paul Hoffman, Illuminating Angels & Demons is a look at the 'Path of Illumination' stretching through renaissance Rome as written in Angels & Demons by Dan Brown. Galileo and Raphael guide us through the ancient streets of Rome as we re-examine the great artwork, Popes, Emperors and Kings in our quest to find the facts behind Brown's fiction. Was the great sculptor Bernini truly a secret adept of the legendary Illuminati? Do the Illuminati still exist and exert control in the world today? More than just an investigation, Illuminating Angels & Demons is a visually stunning travelogue of the intrigue in baroque and renaissance Rome and its implications for us.

The novel, Illuminating Angels & Demons is the first non-fiction companion to the huge international bestseller Angels & Demons, an explosive thriller that kick-started Dan Brown's bestselling success. Set in a groundbreaking scientific research facility in Geneva and in the ancient religious heart of Rome, it's a race against time to save the world from a long-forgotten but deadly foe.

Yet, like The Da Vinci Code, the novel raises as many questions as it answers. Did the mysterious secret society known as the Illuminati actually exist and if so, is it still active today? What about the secret rituals and underground passageways of the Vatican - are they real? And is it true that Bernini laid a Path of Illumination for potential initiates to the cult?

As in Cox's previous bestseller, Illuminating Angels & Demons uses a simple A to Z format to separate the facts from the fiction, unveiling the inaccuracies and controversial fiction distortions and providing fascinating background information on all the mysteries in the novel.
