"Inferno", latest thriller by Dan Brown. This is his 4th book of 'Robert Langdon' series.
Dante Alleghieri wrote an epic poem called 'Divine comedy' @ AD1320, where he describs his journey through Inferno (hell), ascent to Mount Purgatory and passage to Paradise. This book revolves around the theme of his depiction of inferno.
Robert Langdon wakes up in a hospital bed in Florence-Italy with all his memory of last two days wiped out due to a bullet grazing his head. . An attempt is made on his life in hospital and a lady doctor (Sienna) saves him. Then a game of cat & mouse begins. Robert does not know who is trying to kill him and why? He posseses an artefact that everyone is after but whats so special? Its a map. Of what? In the course of action enemies become friend and friends become foe.
A mega plot is unearthed. WHO is involved and so is a mysterious organization and a brilliant scientist. Can Robert save the day?
This is a thriller alright. However Dan Browns USP is the theological and art backdrop, his vivid description and meticulous detailing. In addition to the story you want to visit the places and verify the details described. I had this urge after reading Da Vinci Code, Angles and Demons & The Last Symbol.
It has become a standard feature of Dan Brown books that when you think that the book has reached plateau, a major twist is unearthed.
This book is no exception on both the counts.
How does the book end? Well you will have read it to find out. If there's a sequel to this book in future, it would be a SciFi.
Dan Brown fans will definately read it. Others should do so as well.
