What is Inferno (Inferno, 1) about?

After being thrown out the window of his luxury apartment, science fiction writerAllen Carpentierwakes to find himself at the gates of hell. Feeling he'slanded in a greatopportunityfor a book, he attempts to follow Dante'sroad map. Determined to meet Satan himself, Carpentier treks through theNine Layers of Hell led by Benito Mussolini,and encounters countless mental andphysicaltortures.As he struggles to escape, he's taken through new, puzzling, and outlandish versions of sin--recast for the present day. Review " Inferno is quite literally a cake walk through hell, with a science fiction writer as Dante and Benito Mussolini as Virgil. I kid you not, Pournelle and Niven have had the chutzpah to re-write Dante's Inferno as if they were some unholy hybrid of Roger Zelazny, Robert Heinlein, and Phil Jose Farmer. You are right there in the nether-reaches of the ultimate Sam Peckinpah movie with all the matter-of-fact solidity of a Hal Clement novel. It gets to you, it really does. This being lunacy of a transcendent order."--Norman Spinrad "A dazzling tour de force."--Poul Anderson on Inferno "A fast, amusing and vivid book, by a writing team noted for intelligence and imagination
