Inferno is a 2013 mystery thriller novel by American author Dan Brown and the fourth book in his Robert Langdon series, following Angels & Demons, The Da Vinci Code and The Lost Symbol. The book was published on May 14, 2013, ten years after publication of The Da Vinci Code (2003), by Doubleday. It was number one on the New York Times Best Seller list for hardcover fiction and Combined Print & E-book fiction for the first eleven weeks of its release, and also remained on the list of E-book fiction for the first seventeen weeks of its release. A film adaptation was released in the United States on October 28, 2016.
If I had a nickel for every time I consumed media about a virus which makes part of the human population sterile to save the world, I'd have two nickels. Watch the show Utopia. It's on Amazon Prime. Don't watch the third season because it's a bad reboot.
A letdown, like most of his books. I have read four of them now, including Inferno. And except Angels & Demons, which I consider his magnum opus, all of them were mediocre at best. All of them pulp, of course, but pulp can still be entertaining.
Digital Fortress was awful. I guess it was for anyone familiar with cryptography and computers as painful as his Robert Langdon books must be for art historians. Just really, really bad. Da Vinci Code was OK, but the whole story just too over-the-top for me. Angels & Demons was amazing. Something about it just clicked with me and I love this book. That lead me to read Inferno and left me rather disappointed. I shouldn't complain, I guess, because it is a typical Dan Brown. It just didn't click, like A&D did.
