Reviews
“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.” —Roger Zelazny on Inferno
