I chose this book for my monthly book club, I have previously enjoyed Dan Brown books, and enjoyed this one also.
I did however find that this one dragged on a little bit too long, it could have done to have had about a quarter of the story knocked off. I will however carry on reading the Dan Brown books.

Where are we from and where are we going?
I first read Dan Brown back in the hyped up days of the Da Vinci Code. Having loved that, I read the rest of his books and even purchased his last book. So when I saw he had a new book out, I had to try it. Dan Brown continues to write in the same easy reading style of previous books. The concept of where we are from and where we are going really intrigued me. I won't spoil the book by telling you where he thinks the human race are going but I liked the concept and could see quite easily how it is possible
If you liked his previous books and like Professor Langdon, I'd recommend this to you.

Ivana A. | Diary of Difference (1171 KP) rated Inferno in Books
Aug 21, 2018
One of the best books I've read so far. Robert Langdon, as usual, leaves me breathless and Dan Brown knows how to keep the story going. I couldn't put the book down. It is one of the many that still haunt me, after hours, and I believe it will haunt me for days and months. All the symbols in Dante's "Inferno", of which I wasn't aware of are simply amazing.

The third Dan Brown book featuring Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon and, like his previous books ("Angels and Demons", "The Da Vinci code", "Deception Point" and "Digital Fortress" - the first two in that list also featuring Robert Langdon), I found it to be an entertaining enough read without being anything special.
I have to say, I also think that (one of) the supposed big reveals was actually pretty obvious from roughly 1/3 of the way into the story, which didn't really help ...

David McK (3547 KP) rated Crucible (Sigma Force #14) in Books
Feb 20, 2022
Entry #14 in James Rollins now long-running Sigma Force series; again a mixture of science and fiction: think Dan Brown, maybe, or even Michael Crichton.
This time around, the threat that Sigma force (and, perforce, the world) faces is one of our own making: that of Artificial Intelligence (or AI), and - more specifically - that of an 'evil' (one with no moral qualms or compunctions) AI let loose. So, think Terminator's Skynet, basically.
If you've read any of the previous entries in the series, you know pretty much what to expect ...
