\nFACT<\/span>
\n<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

The world\u2019s largest scientific research facility-Switzerland\u2019s Conseil Europ\u0439en pour la Recherche Nucl\u0439aire<\/span> (CERN)-recently succeeded in producing the first particles of antimatter. Antimatter is identical to physical matter except that it is composed of particles whose electric charges are opposite<\/span> to those found in normal matter.<\/p>\n

Antimatter is the most powerful energy source known to man. It releases energy with 100 percent efficiency (nuclear fission is 1.5 percent efficient). Antimatter creates no pollution or radiation, and a droplet could power New York City for a full day.<\/p>\n

There is, however, one catch\u2026<\/p>\n

Antimatter is highly unstable. It ignites when it comes in contact with absolutely anything\u2026 even air. A single gram of antimatter contains the energy of a 20-kiloton nuclear bomb-the size of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima.<\/p>\n

Until recently antimatter has been created only in very small amounts (a few atoms at a time). But CERN has now broken ground on its new Antiproton Decelerator-an advanced antimatter production facility that promises to create antimatter in much larger quantities.<\/p>\n

One question looms: Will this highly volatile substance save the world, or will it be used to create the most deadly weapon ever made?<\/p>\n

\nAUTHOR\u2019S NOTE<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

R eferences to all works of art, tombs, tunnels, and architecture in Rome are entirely factual (as are their exact locations). They can still be seen today.<\/p>\n

The brotherhood of the Illuminati is also factual.<\/p>\n

\nPROLOGUE<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

Physicist Leonardo Vetra smelled burning flesh, and he knew it was his own. He stared up in terror at the dark figure looming over him. \u201cWhat do you want!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLa chiave,\u201d<\/span> the raspy voice replied. \u201cThe password.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut\u2026 I don\u2019t-\u201d<\/p>\n

The intruder pressed down again, grinding the white hot object deeper into Vetra\u2019s chest. There was the hiss of broiling flesh.<\/p>\n

Vetra cried out in agony. \u201cThere is<\/span> no password!\u201d He felt himself drifting toward unconsciousness.<\/p>\n

The figure glared. \u201cNe avevo paura<\/span>. I was afraid of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vetra fought to keep his senses, but the darkness was closing in. His only solace was in knowing his attacker would never obtain what he had come for. A moment later, however, the figure produced a blade and brought it to Vetra\u2019s face. The blade hovered. Carefully. Surgically.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the love of God!\u201d Vetra screamed. But it was too late.<\/p>\n
