4.0 out of 5 stars Dante revisited 13 Oct 2008
By James L. Munro
Format:Paperback
Not really sure why I picked this one but once started I was hooked. It is unlike anything else these two have produced - although there are echoes of the Ringworld - or more accurately the Ringworlds concept echoes the Inferno (Dante did get there first). The story is narrated by Alen Carpentier a moderately successful sci-fi writer whose death comes as an annoying end to an attempt to impress his fans. He wakes to find himself in what seems to be the outer circle of the Inferno as described by the Italian medieval poet Dante Aligheri. Is it really Hell or the monstrous construct of a future civilisation (Infernoland?) and why is his guide Benito vaguely familiar? Read and find out.

5.0 out of 5 stars In my all time top 10... 8 Jun 2010
By Tim the Grey
Format:Paperback
As said elsewhere, a second line SF author dies, and wakes up with a 'Benito' in somewhere he labels Infernoland.
After that, it is well crafted Dante meeting 2 Hardcore SF greats, and never stops entertaining, and intriguing.

I have owned my paperback for over 30 years(it cost 75P!), and STILL re-read it today. Value for Money? You bet...

5.0 out of 5 stars Great treatment of classic theme 3 Nov 2002
By Mr. A. S. Fletcher
Format:Hardcover
Just excellent - so good I keep lending my copy to people and have to buy new ones. No spoilers, but its the story of a writer in Hell - and really well done. Its a good adventure, but tackles the vexed diabolic questions of 'why Hell''how do I get out of here' and 'how come I, er, seem to know everyone?' really interestingly. Worth it just for the red hot offices where damned(literally)former bureaucrats burn for eternity...
I get the impression its a 'light' work by Niven and Pournelle, but benefits from it, because neither author is at their best with their attempts to be deep and meaningful in their doorstop trilogies.
