(Dan
Brown)
Dan Brown, author of the No.1 international
blockbusters The Lost Symbol and The Da Vinci Code, recently completed
work on a new novel, Inferno, that
will be published by Random House Struik on May 14.
Bill Scott-Kerr, Dan Brown’s long-term
publisher at Transworld in London said: “I’ve been working with Dan Brown for
over a decade now and every time he delivers a new novel, he never fails to
surprise. As a storyteller, he has the great gift of being able to take you on
a breathtaking rollercoaster ride at the same time as offering a fresh perspective
on what he’s showing us along the way. This brilliant new Robert Langdon
thriller is no exception – in Inferno
he returns to the heart of old Europe and to the territory so compellingly
occupied by The Da Vinci Code. It’s
another star turn from start to finish.”
Dan Brown said, “Although I studied Dante’s
Inferno as a student, it wasn’t until recently, while researching in Florence,
that I came to appreciate the enduring influence of Dante’s work on the modern
world. With this new novel, I am excited to take readers on a journey deep into
this mysterious realm…a landscape of codes, symbols, and more than a few secret
passageways.”
Steve Connolly, Managing Director of Random
House Struik said: “I can’t begin to express my excitement that we will soon be
releasing another Dan Brown thriller featuring Robert Langdon. Dan Brown is one
of those rare storytellers who can appeal to all ages and provoke genuine
excitement among the reading public. South African readers have made his
previous books massive bestsellers here and I am confident that Inferno will be
another enormous success.”
Following the publication of The Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown’s earlier
novels, Digital Fortress, Deception Point
and Angels and Demons have all
gone on to become multi-million copy international bestsellers. To date, there
are 190 million Dan Brown novels in print worldwide.
Inferno will be published on May 14 in hardcover at a recommended retail
price of R360. For more information visit www.danbrown.com
