Inferno by Dan Brown (Paperback)

Robert Langdon wakes with no memory of the last two days. When armed pursuers return to the hospital, Doctor Sienna Brooks helps him escape. Langdon soon discovers that a clue tied to Dante’s Divine Comedy has been left specifically for him, beginning a trail linked to a scientist concerned about global population pressures.

As Langdon examines images and cryptic messages, he sees that the scientist created a plan designed to address what he viewed as an unavoidable crisis. Langdon and Sienna travel through Florence, Venice, and Istanbul, following clues built into art, literature, and architecture.

They are pursued by organisations with different aims, each trying to control the outcome. Langdon must piece together the scientist’s intentions while working against time. Every location reveals more about the plan and the event that could change the future for millions.

The search becomes a struggle to understand whether the scientist’s motives were driven by fear, conviction, or ambition. Langdon’s knowledge of symbols and history is crucial as the final revelation approaches. The truth forces him to consider difficult questions about responsibility and the choices people make during a crisis.
