Title: Incredible, Unbelievable
Review: This Vatican City, terrorist thriller pits science against religion (Roman Catholic) and neither wins.Normally novels that blend fact with fiction usually are, to some degree, plausible tales. Tom Clancy, Brad Thor, Steward Wood, to mention a few writers in Brown's genre, all write thrillers that are believable. Dan Brown, in this novel, does not.If set in today's world then a thinking reader has to question airplanes that go 15,000 mph! Anti-matter exceeding the destructive power of a 5 kiloton bomb contained in a plastic box! A Papal helicopter with a rate of climb only exceeded by military jets! And most implausible is the survival of the hero, American symbologist Robert Langdon, who falls to earth from a height of over two miles (using a windshield tarp and the rock free Tiber River, in Rome, to soften the impact) only to get up and save the day.This read is not up to story quality found in "the Code". Conditionally recommended
