The anticipated companion book to Dan Brown's 'Inferno' novel has just arrived in bookstores. Written by noted historian Sanford Holst, 'Templar Inferno' explores how the death of Knights Templar in flames inspired Dante Alighieri to write his 'Inferno' in the 1300s and how it changed everything that followed. Dan Brown's hero Robert Langdon must make his way through this world, racing down secret passageways in Florence Italy to decode clues in Dante's Inferno. 'Hundreds of Templars were burned to death but many more survived, and we evenknow intriguing details of their lives,' said Holst. 'The knights who refused the pope's order to surrender were forced to live in secrecy outside the law. Their rebellious underground activities played a role in the fall of kings and the weakening of the Vatican.'
