Is this line correct:
"If Langdon were to have any chance of helping Leigh, or of ever seeing the keystone again, it was essential that he find the tomb first"

Please calm down, there's no need to get defensive. This forum is never known for any rude behavior and let's keep it that way.

I just recommend that it's perfectly fine to post a quote for discussion but when you do, please post the name of the book it's from or at least that it's actually from a book to avoid copyright issues.

It seems to be correct English, just the sentence structure is a bit awkward and out of the ordinary. Grammatically I don't see much wrong in it.
