The book and audiobook event of the year: Dan Brown's new novel is back - and with it, his hero Robert Langdon, who has captivated millions of readers in the novels "Angels & Demons," "The Da Vinci Code," and "The Lost Symbol," making headlines globally with controversial topics. The worldwide release of the new thriller "Inferno" on May 14, 2013, marks Robert Langdon's return to Europe. The Harvard symbologist is confronted in Italy with secrets, puzzles, and a conspiracy that has its roots in one of the most famous and darkest masterpieces of literature: Dante's "Divine Comedy." And the more intensely Robert Langdon pursues the increasingly dangerous trail, the clearer the ominous realization becomes of what Dante's work holds for the present and future.
