A new Niven Pournelle novel

Inferno a novel by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle was published in 1976. I must have read it shortly after its release and thought it was a hell of a ride. A science fiction writer dies and wakes up in hell but its a far cry from Dante's version. Why should anyone care about a thirty-two year old book? If you haven't read it you should, and, more importantly, they have finally written a sequel. Escape from Hell came out in February.
