Might not be considered quite Sci-Fi, but I just finished "The DaVinci Code". Presents some VERY intriguing ideas in a nicely done manner.

From what I gather the "Da Vinci code" could be described more as fantasy.

If you like Star Wars, Timothy Zahn writes good books.

Spolier(ish): The DaVinci Code
On the ideas some are true but some are made up. On the one hand the divinity of christ was decided on by a Roman committee, on the other hand the secret society that is supposed to protect the Holy Grail was made up by two Frenchmen for a joke. Unfortunately people took it seriously and the more they claimed it had been a joke, the more that 'proved' it was a conspiracy to hide the truth!

A good book that I recommend, but don't take it too seriously.
