We recently listened to the audio book of Inferno by Dan Brown during our car rides at Thanksgiving and Christmas. This is book 4 in the Robert Langdon series. It doesn't not really have any connection to Angels and Demons or the DaVinci Code, except that Langdon is the main character. I don't think his previous adventures were even mentioned in the book.
The book starts out with a Prolouge of someone talking about being the Shade and then jumping from a building to his death. Then in Chapter 1, we learn that Robert is in Florence in a hospital bed, but has lost his memory of the past 24 hours. Two doctors come in to look at him and tell him that he has a gunshot wound in his head. They then realize that someone is still trying to kill him and one of the doctors, Sienna Brooks, helps him to escape and goes on a wild ride with him through, Florence, Venice, etc. Brooks remains at Langdon's side as they try to find the answers through clues in Dante's Inferno....
I enjoyed listening to this audio book. It started off with lots of excitement and art history details. It's always fun to guess the twist in a Dan Brown book. My only complaint is that the end of the story was kind of anticlimatic. I was waiting for some huge excitement in the last chapter, but it remained pretty steady.
