An ambigram is a word drawn to read identically right-side-up or upside-down. This ancient artistic technique plays a prominent role in the mysteries of 'Angels & Demons,' a searingly explosive story adventure and heroism in the heart of Vatican City. "Crammed with Vatican intrigue and hi-tech drama, Brown’s tale is laced with twists and shocks that keep the reader wired right up until the final revelation. Packing the novel with sinister figures worthy of a Medici, Brown sets an explosive pace through a Michelin-perfect Rome": (Publisher’s Weekly)
