Author's Notes and Disclaimer

TThis was started the morning after I completed reading Angels and Demons by Dan Brown—not five minutes after I had completed the novel and was sitting in bed in a daze. The story is powerful. The characters are powerful. I have always been enchanted by the esoteric and the ever-raging war between science and religion. Had I lived in past Rome, I would have been firmly on the side of the Illuminati, as such is my nature, though this book resurrected my doubts against the pure mechanical universe theory. I am such a melancholy sap.

For what it is worth, I found this book reminiscent of Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials trilogy, an utterly amazing work.

WARNING: This is one huge spoiler for the end of Angels and Demons. Do not read if you want to complete the book. Trust me, completing the book is well worth it.

This is rambling from the point of view of three characters, without any real plot or any point. Originally, this was only going to be a one-shot about Ventresca, my opposite but for whom I felt pity. If there is justice, he will be all right, wherever he is. All he wanted to do was to save the world. I decided to add chapters for Kohler and Vittoria, both of whom with which I sympathize.

This entire thing was written in one afternoon. Talk about a slap-job.
