A plot to take over the 'democratic' Vatican by kidnapping four Cardinals who mysteriously get bumped off every hour and an anti-matter bomb set to blow the Vatican to pieces?

Papal bull or thiller?
 
give us a link, I can't find it?

EDIT

Got it now:D cheers. I was looking in the general discussion thread, not the other ones.
 
Why have you put democratic in inverted commas? Popes are elected, anyone can become Pope, although it helps if you start out as a Priest. Of course, if you aren`t Catholic....
 
I think it does belong in Politics strangely enough, as it concerns the non-existent Illuminati.

Dan Brown's last book/film had millions of people claiming it had changed their lives. Why?, and more worrying a lot of them are allowed to vote.
 
Anyone who gets upset at the existence of a fictional story about fictional entities worries me more than anyone who believes that said fiction is true. Should all books have a disclaimer on the first page saying 'THE FOLLOWING EVENTS DIDN'T ACTUALLY TAKE PLACE' on them? I can certainly think about one pretty long book that's complete fiction yet a lot of people have taken to be true throughout history...


Ooh, they've moved it. Cheers moRAB :D
 
It's just a novel. Some people confuse his novels for being factual, which is a bit strange.

Yes, there are some facts in there. He's obviously quite knowledgeable about the arts, for example, and he's done his research about the places he describes, and offers little bits of insights about science, such as how the particle collider works.

He then uses his research and spins a fictional story around it. Sometimes he even slightly twists the facts to suit the story. Many authors do this, and it's understandable.

I've never quite understood why some readers think that just because there are some facts in there, the entire novel must really be the truth, that it's all a conspiracy and the authorities/church are keeping all this from us, and so on, and so forth... :confused:
 
It's a film of a fiction book - all you need to do to see how sensible it all is is to look at how they generate anti-matter (in the machine that's looking for the Higgs bosun) and the quantities needed to make the bomb.

Bizarre - I opened this in politics and ended up in movies:)
