Summary
(Taken from Goodreads)
In his international blockbusters The Da Vinci Code, Angels & Demons, and The Lost Symbol, Dan Brown masterfully fused history, art, codes, and symbols. In this riveting new thriller, Brown returns to his element and has crafted his highest-stakes novel to date.
In the heart of Italy, Harvard professor of symbology Robert Langdon is drawn into a harrowing world centered on one of history’s most enduring and mysterious literary masterpieces . . . Dante’s Inferno.
Against this backdrop, Langdon battles a chilling adversary and grapples with an ingenious riddle that pulls him into a landscape of classic art, secret passageways, and futuristic science. Drawing from Dante’s dark epic poem, Langdon races to find answers and decide whom to trust . . . before the world is irrevocably altered.

A groundbreaking scientist is out to save the world. Some call him Monster, for he is not trying to cure cancer or end world hunger; he is trying to save the human race from itself. He describes humanity as a rapidly multiplying parasite that will inevitably overwhelm its environment. When world leaders refuse to work with him to combat overpopulation, he takes things into his own hands.
