CW:
I do have "DaVinci" and "Angels" and do plan on buying "Lost Symbol". I will be reading those when I'm done the SIGMA series. And yes I do agree about the history behind Brown's books. What I love about Rollins is that he's very good at technical detail and the character development in Rollins' books. I also love the female characters better. He doesn't have them wilting lillies like in some books. I'm reading "The Judas Strain" right now and am loving how Monk is taking the lead in this story. Rollins does a fantastic job of weaving each character and the story together.
