In the fourth book of the Robert Langdon series, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon wakes up in a hospital in Florence, Italy, with no memory of the past few days. Suffering from a head injury and haunted by terrifying visions, he soon realizes he is being hunted. With the help of Dr. Sienna Brooks, a brilliant young doctor, Langdon must piece together his lost memories and escape his pursuers.
His only clue is a modified version of Botticelli’s map of Dante’s Inferno, which leads him on a dangerous quest through historic sites, secret passages, and hidden messages in Florence, Venice, and Istanbul. Along the way, he uncovers a global conspiracy linked to a deadly plague created by a brilliant but dangerous scientist, Bertrand Zobrist. Zobrist believes overpopulation is the greatest threat to humanity and has designed a catastrophic solution inspired by Dante Alighieri’s vision of Hell.
As time runs out, Langdon must decode symbols, ancient texts, and Renaissance art to stop a disaster that could alter the fate of the human race. With its fast-paced action, historical intrigue, and shocking revelations, Inferno is a gripping thriller that explores the dark side of science, history, and ethics.
