Dan Brown's Inferno	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Inferno (2013) is Dan Brown's sixth published novel and the fourth to star Robert Langdon, the protagonist of Angels & Demons, The Da Vinci Code, and The Lost Symbol. As the title suggests, the plot is very heavy on references to Dante Alighieri's The Divine Comedy.Langdon wakes up in a Florentine hospital with a gunshot wound in the back of his head and a complete blackout about the last couple of days, including such important details as who shot him and how he ended up in Italy without any documents in the first place. Before long, the sinister Consortium's hitwoman catches up with the wounded professor, who barely escapes with some help from Sienna Brooks, a visiting ER doctor from Britain. Together, they have to uncover the truth about why Langdon is being hunted and what the whole thing has to do with Dante Alighieri and a prominent biologist who committed suicide a few days earlier in Florence.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Then, in the course of the novel, the entire premise gets turned on its head.A film of the book, directed by Ron Howard and with Tom Hanks reprising his role as Robert Langdon, was released on October 28, 2016. The cast includes Felicity Jones as Sienna Brooks, Irrfan Khan as Harry "The Provost" Sims, Sidse Babett Knudsen as Dr. Elizabeth Sinskey, Omar Sy as Christophe Bouchard and Ben Foster as Bertrand Zobrist.Spoilers ahead.

Zobrist's plague, rather than being a Sterility Plague, is strongly implied to actually be a deadly pathogen. Unlike in the book, however, Langdon and the WHO successfully prevent it spreading. The Consortium, while still specializing in grand-scale deception, is actually not afraid to really eliminate perceived liabilities.

Strangely enough, the main characters seem to take the stance that this is not such a bad thing. Granted, they were mentally preparing for a second Black Plague killing billions all around the world, so at least their relief at that moment is understandable. And considering that the alternative to the villain's success was humanity's extinction in about a hundred years, it was not that much of a downer ending, after all. This is averted in in the movie where they do succeed in stopping the plague from unleashing.

Dan Brown's Inferno / int_dbca2c99	comment	Red Herring: Hoo boy. Dan Brown has really outdone himself on this one. The scary biohazard-marked cylinder that Langdon finds on his person? Actually, its contents aren't dangerous at all; Sinskey just needed to place the object in a secure container before giving it to Langdon. The Consortium's killer squad that storms Sienna's apartment? Actually, an emergency response group of the WHO, ostensibly the good guys for whom Langdon was working before his amnesia and who desperately tried to establish contact with him, not to kill him. Why did they keep Sinskey locked up and drugged, then? She has a rare medical condition that required it, and they were just taking care of their boss. The menacing hitwoman Vayentha who nearly offs Langdon twice? Actually, the Consortium's specialist on Death Faked for You called in to make Langdon believe he is targeted and solve the riddles for the Consortium. The poor, unfortunate Dr. Brooks whom Langdon drags into this mess? Actually, a Double Reverse Quadruple Agent who dupes Langdon, the Consortium, and eventually the WHO to keep her lover and mentor Zobrist's research out of their hands—and to destroy it herself. Basically, she is the Big Bad of the story. The plague-infected spy who stalks Langdon and Sienna in Florence? Actually, he is just with the World Health Organization and merely has a bad case of contact allergy that looks like plague symptoms to the uninitiated—oh, wait, that's not true, either... The mysterious FS-2080 who gains their trust en route to Venice? Actually, FS-2080 is Sienna herself, see above, while Jonathan Ferris works for the Consortium, and is basically the same guy whom Vayentha "killed" in the hospital earlier. The sinister Plague that the Consortium's client plans to unleash on the world? Actually, a "mere" Sterility Plague to control the world's population growth. Also, he is not "planning" it. He already unleashed it six days ago.
