"The somber beauty of Inferno brought up to the twentieth century
with care and humor and some sins Dante didn't even suspect."
--Frank Herbert "Inferno is quite literally a cakewalk through
hell, with a science fiction writer as Dante and Benito Mussolini
as Virgil."
--Norman Spinrad "A fast, amusing, and vivid book by a writing team
noted for intelligence and imagination."
--Roger Zelazny "A dazzling tour de force."
--Poul Anderson
