Inferno – Dan Brown

Dan Brown returns with his latest adventure featuring symbologist Robert Langdon, who has turned up in a Florence hospital with a gunshot wound and a case of amnesia.  He teams up with a child prodigy turned doctor to try and track down a virus that threatens to significantly thin the Earth’s population.  As Langdon gets closer to the truth, he finds out that everything, everyone, around him is not what they seemed.

Brown burst into the national consciousness in 2003 when The Da Vinci Code, his second Robert Langdon novel, became a runaway best seller.  Inferno, released in 2013, is the fourth Langdon book, and the third that I’ve read.  His tales are always a unique intertwining of mystery, intrigue, and history.  One of these days, I will get my hands on that fourth novel and will finish off the set.
