Code, Dan Brown's Angels & Demons has had millions of readers wondering what is fact and what is fiction in some of the most important--and controversial themes of Western history. Although the novel's plot reaches back to the 16th century, many of the topics could come straight from today's headlines: the papal succession process and the history of the Vatican; Galileo and the debate between science and religion; the Illuminati Illuminati (ĭl  'mĭnā`tī, –nä`tē) [Lat.,=enlightened], rationalistic society founded in Germany soon after 1776 by Adam Weishaupt, a professor at Ingolstadt, , Freemasons This is a list of notable Freemasons.

"Dan Brown's books weave easy-to-digest bits of Big Think and arguments from the history of Western Civilization around fast-paced murder mystery plots," observes Dan Burstein. "Our books in the 'Secrets' series bring genuine world-class authorities into the discussion to help readers sort out fact from fiction. And even though Brown may be wrong on some of his facts, where else in contemporary culture today would you find millions of people interested in discussing Bernini, Galileo, and the Illuminati? The experts of the 'Secrets' books help extend and deepen the ideas that Dan Brown only touches on. And they provide the reader much food for thought and an even richer reading experience." "A key reason why the 'Secrets' books are selling so well is that they cover the whole range of important ideas in Dan Brown's books in a balanced way, allowing the reader to make up his or her own mind on the key issues taken up by novelist," added Arne de Keijzer.
