been predicted canada goose yorkville bomber long ago, prophesied by the ancient texts, by the primeval calendars, and even by the stars themselves. The date was specific, its arrival imminent. It would be preceded by a brilliant explosion of knowledge . . . a flash of clarity to illuminate the darkness and give mankind a final chance to veer away from the abyss and take the path of wisdom. I have come to obscure the light, Malakh thought. This is my role. Fate had linked him to Peter and Katherine Solomon. The breakthroughs Katherine Solomon had made within the SMSC would risk opening floodgates of new canada goose yorkville bomber thinking, starting a new Renaissance. Katherines revelations, if made public, would become a catalyst that would inspire mankind to rediscover the knowledge he had lost, empowering him beyond all imagination. Katherines
the services of a psychiatrist? Dr. Abaddon smiled. Yes, I know. I was trying to sidestep the question politely. Its really not something I canada goose yorkville bomber should be discussing. He paused. Although I must say Im puzzled that your brother would keep our discussions from you, considering that they relate so directly to your research. My research? Katherine said, taken totally off guard. My brother talks about my research? Recently, your brother came to me looking for a professional opinion abo canada goose yorkville bomber ut the psychological impact of the breakthroughs you are making in your lab. Katherine almost choked on the tea. Really? Im . . . surprised, she managed. What is Peter thinking? He told his shrink about my work?! Their security protocol involved not discussing with anyone what Katherine was working on. Moreover, the
Capitol, but rather to the man who ran it. Similar to a building manager, the man appointed as Architect of the Capitol was in charge of everything including maintenance, restoration, security, hiring personnel, and assigning offices. The strange thing . . . the voice on the radio said, is that the Architects notation indicates that this ‘private space was set aside for the use of Peter Solomon. Langdon canada goose yorkville bomber , Sato, and Anderson all exchanged startled looks. Im guessing, sir, the voice continued, that Mr. Solomon has our primary key to the SBB as well as any keys to SBB Thirteen. Langdon could not believe his ea canada goose yorkville bomber rs. Peter has a private room in the basement of the Capitol? He had always known Peter Solomon had secrets, but this was surprising even to Langdon. Okay, Anderson said, clearly unamused.
were hiding, Langdon said, confused. If anyone enters the building, Bellamy said, I want to hear them coming. But wont they find us instantly in here? No matter where we hide, theyll find us. But if anyone corners us in this building, youll be very glad I chose this room. Langdon had no idea why, but Bellamy apparently wasnt looking to discuss it. He was already on the mov canada goose yorkville bomber e to canada goose yorkville bomber ward the center of the room, where he selected one of the available reading desks, pulled up two chairs, and flipped on the reading light. Then he motioned to Langdons bag. Okay, Professor, lets have a closer look. Not wanting to risk scratching its polished surface with a rough piece of granite, Langdon hoisted his entire bag onto the desk and unzipped it, folding the sides all the way down to reveal the pyramid
of his long and magnificent journey. CHAPTER 58 The coyly nicknamed explosive Key4 had bee canada goose yorkville bomber n developed by Special Forces specifically for opening locked doors with minimal collateral damage. Consisting primarily of cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine with a diethylhexyl plasticizer, it was essentially a piece of C-4 rolled into paper-thin sheets for insertion into doorjambs. In the case of the librarys reading room, the explosive had worked perfectly. Operation leader Agent Turner Simkins stepped over the wreckage of the doors and scanned the massive octagonal r canada goose yorkville bomber oom for any signs of movement. Nothing. Kill the lights, Simkins said. A second agent found the wall panel, threw the switches, and plunged the room into darkness. In unison, all four men reached up and yanked down their night-vision
Langdon. And you even knew to X-ray Langdons bag to find the capstone. Obviously, someone is giving you a lot of inside information. Sato l canada goose yorkville bomber aughed coldly and stepped closer to him. Mr. Bellamy, is that why you attacked me? Do you think Im the enemy? Do you think Im trying to steal your little pyramid? Sato took a drag on her cigarette and blew the smoke out of her nostrils. Listen carefully. No one understands better than I do the importance of keeping secrets. I believe, as you do, that there is certain information to which the masses should not be privy. Tonight, however, there are forces at work that I fear you have not yet grasped. The man who kidna canada goose yorkville bomber pped Peter Solomon holds enormous power . . . a power that you apparently have yet to realize. Believe me, he is a walking time bomb . . .

The degree sign on the band, Langdon said, showing her. Its so small that you dont really notice it with your eyes, but if you feel it, you can tell its actually indentedlike a tiny circular incision. The degree sign was centered on the bottom of the band . . . a canada goose yorkville bomber nd admittedly looked to be the same size as the raised nubbin in the bottom of the cube. Is it the same size? Katherine moved closer still, sounding excited now. Theres one way to find out. He took the ring and lowered it into the box, aligning the two tiny circles. As he pushed down, the raised circle on the box slid into the r canada goose yorkville bomber ings opening, and
gagged on the dining-room floor. My God! Langdon sat bolt upright, and as he did, his forehead smashed into something suspended only i canada goose yorkville bomber nches above him. Pain exploded through his skull and he fell back, teetering near unconsciousness. Groggy, he reached up with canada goose yorkville bomber his hands, groping in the darkness to find the obstacle. What he found made no sense to him. It seemed this rooms ceiling was less than a foot above him. What in the world? As he spread his arms to his sides in an attempt to roll over, both of his hands hit sidewalls. The truth now dawned on him. Robert Langdon was not in a room at all. Im in a box! In the darkness of his small, coffinlike container, Langdon began pounding wildly with his fist. He shouted over and over for help. The terror that gripped him deepened with each passing
