Product Description

TWO EDGE -OF-YOUR SEAT AUDIOBOOKS FROM THE #1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE DA VINCI CODE

ANGELS & DEMONS
Read by Richard Poe

World-renowned Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is summoned to a Swiss research facility to analyze a cryptic symbol seared into the chest of a murdered physicist. What he discovers is unimaginable: a deadly vendetta against the Catholic Church by a centuries-old underground organization -- the Illuminati. Desperate to save the Vatican from a powerful time bomb, Langdon joins forces in Rome with the beautiful and mysterious scientist Vittoria Vetra. Together they embark on a frantic hunt through sealed crypts, dangerous catacombs, deserted cathedrals, and the most secretive vault on earth...the long-forgotten Illuminati lair.

DECEPTION POINT
Read by Boyd Gaines

When a NASA satellite discovers an astonishingly rare object buried deep in the Arctic ice, the floundering space agency proclaims a much-needed victory -- a victory with profound implications for NASA policy and the impending presidential election. To verify the authenticity of the find, the White House calls upon the skills of intelligence analyst Rachel Sexton. Accompanied by a team of experts, including the charismatic scholar Michael Tolland, Rachel travels to the Arctic and uncovers the unthinkable: evidence of scientific trickery -- a bold deception that threatens to plunge the world into controversy. But before she can warn the President, Rachel and Michael are ambushed by a deadly team of assassins. Fleeing for their lives across a desolate and lethal landscape, their only hope for survival is to discover who is behind this masterful plot. The truth, they will learn, is the most shocking deception of all.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's all in the delivery., February 16, 2006

By	N. J. Palmer "book vixen" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I enjoyed all three books, i.e. Da Vinci, Angels..., and Deception Point. I read the unabridged Da Vinci, and enjoyed it more than the abridged "audio" Da Vinci. The man who read Da Vinci, was very monotone, and detracted from the plot. However, the persons who did Angels and Deception Point were excellent, and definitely added to the final product. I highly recommend all three. Dan Brown is extremely talented, and knows how to grab the reader and immerse them into the plot.

5.0 out of 5 stars 2 of the best books ever writen; on CD!, July 7, 2004

By	William I. Brenner "Sinclair" (Norfolk VA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I listened to the audio version of Davinchi code and it was with out a doubt, by far, the best audio book ever. If I could have bought the audio version of these 2 for $40, I would have. This is a deal. "Angels and demons" is as good as Davinchi code, which makes it one of the all time best books ever. "Deception point" is awesome too, and with out anything that would piss of the church of Satan! If you enjoyed Davinchi code, you will not regret buying these CDS.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great gift for that special reader in your life, October 14, 2009

By	Earl Daly (Spokane, Wa) - See all my reviews

Dan Brown writes with a sense of a virtual time machine. He can easily mesh you into the scene of a story told with certain knowledge beyond approach.
