This is a very complex book with lots of characters and many different plots. In the beginning it's very hard to keep track of who are the good guys and who aren't. Along the lines of The Da Vinci Code as far as religious undertones and adventure spanning Europe are concerned. I enjoyed this more than The Da Vinci Code as the religious elements are muted and not the focus of the story. I really enjoyed the hero, Cotton Malone, an ex-US Justice worker (kinda CIA like) and the heroine, Cassiopeia Vitt, a current US justice worker. They get roped into the whole ball of wax by the president of the US himself. All in an effort to stop a mad despot ruler of a country in what was once Russia from taking over the world through biochemical means. I couldn't put this book down and found it edge of your seat suspenseful.
