Dan Brown’s latest novel Inferno is the fourth instalment of his Robert Langdon series and masterfully fuses history, art, codes and symbols.

 

Brown, known for his international bestsellers The Da Vinci Code, Angels & Demons and The Lost Symbol, published Inferno on the 14th of May 2013. Inferno debuted as number one on the New York Times Bestseller list and stayed there for eight weeks. It also went to number one in the UK and US in its first week.

 

Robert Langdon, a professor at Harvard University, awakes with no recollection of how he came to be lying in a hospital bed with a gunshot wound in his head in Florence. He embarks on a convoluted journey with Dr Sienna Brooks and has to save the world from a plague created by a genetic scientist who is obsessed with Dante’s Divine Comedy.

 

Dan Brown takes his readers on a journey into a mysterious realm and the book is quite hard to put down. The fourth novel resembles its predecessors and has the same quality of diction and tone, which can be expected from such a renowned novelist.

 

If you are a lover of thrills and conspiracies, this book is definitely for you. Although not as highly appreciated as The Da Vinci Code, Inferno is an excellent read… especially for his Brown’s loyal fans.
