INFERNO

A mysterious man in a mysterious city...

a city in corruption

fueled by sin

and justice is independent of the laws.

 

At the heart of the netherworld is the city of Inferno...a sprawling, endless mass made up of fragments of every earthly city that ever existed. Its inhabitants are the damned, the desperate...those whom redemption cannot touch.

When John Travis is murdered, it is the Inferno that his spirit comes to. But it’s all a mistake...Travis’ killers were looking for someone else. Now Travis finds himself both pawn and prize in a game he doesn’t understand and the stakes include both his immortal soul and his memory of past life.

Travis has his allies, of course, including the prophet Nostradamus and the woman Shule Borraial. Together they’re prepared to risk their own souls to get Travis back into the city in one piece.

But why do they claim to have met Travis before?

And why did they have him killed?

Inferno is more than the saga of a loner trying to make sense of a strange and terrifying world in which he is thrown into. It is the story of the city itself which seems to permeate its own evil life through the streets and all of its inhabitants. Can one man make a difference?

 

Brief Description: At the heart of the netherworld is the city of Inferno, a sprawling endless mass made up of fragments of every earthly city that ever existed. It's inhabitants are the damned, the desperate, those whom redemption cannot touch. One man arrives, only to discover he was there before!

Key Elements: Hell (although alluded, not specified). A man without a past or memory. Guest stars such as Nostradamus. A world of gloom and despair, yet hope still lives.

Association: Somewhat akin to part of Total Recall in that a man finds out he had a past he never knew about. But does he have to die in order to discover it?

Format: Although the initial storyline of Travis recovering his memory is closed ended, the series could be taken to a continuous saga as more and more of Inferno is unveiled.

Additional: The set up for Inferno could bring in a great many villains from the past and explore historical and sociological upheavals.
