A freak hurricane strikes a small island community off Texas, and a ravaging possession devastates the region, quickly conquering the world. Scientist Dan Heritage must question the creed of his disciplined training as he struggles to understand the horrific plague (one he has named Assunta) while at the same time saving the souls of those closest to him. Science squares off against spirituality in this savage, modern-day variant of the epic 14th century poem, The Divine Comedy. Assunta is a forceful story of love, depravity, companionship and slaughter in an inventive new look at one of the oldest works of civilization, and with a timeless theme-the redemption of humankind. Three complete novels-Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso-all bound into one lavish volume.
