Brian. Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I'm not sure if I like this news or not. I loved the trilogy and was left wanting other books but the fact that it wont be written by Stieg Larsson feels completely wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pontalba Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Plus the fact this fourth one will not be based on Larsson's notes doesn't thrill me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian. Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 A sequel to late Swedish author Stieg Larsson’s best-selling Millennium crime trilogy will go on sale in at least 35 countries from August, the book’s publishers said on Tuesday. That Which Does Not Kill was completed in November by David Lagercrantz, known for co-authoring Swedish football star Zlatan Ibrahimovic's autobiography. He stands in for Larsson, who died of a heart attack in 2004 aged 50. The book will continue the story of the troubled but resourceful heroine Lisbeth Salander first made famous in Larsson’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. But the author remained tight-lipped about the meaning of the title or what direction the action-packed political thriller – 500 pages long in Swedish – will take. “What I wanted to make use of in the book was the vast mythology that Stieg Larsson left behind, the world he created,” Lagercrantz told the Dagens Nyheter newspaper, adding that he remained loyal to Larsson’s writing style which weaved criticism of social and political issues with criminal intrigue. “Lisbeth Salander’s not just any superhero. She’s not only great because of her talents but also because of her context and background.” At the time of his death Stieg Larsson reportedly had plans to write at least another seven novels. His publishers Nordstedts compared the planned release on 27 August of the book in many of the 35 countries which have signed a publishing deal to the global splash made by Dan Brown’s Da Vinci Code in 2003. Nordstedts said the first three books in the Lisbeth Salander series have sold in the region of 80m copies worldwide since the first book, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, went on sale in 2005.

timebug Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I read the 'new' one and was not surprised to find that I did not actually care for it much. The Girl in the Spider's Web by David Lagercrantz tries to bring in as many of the known characters as possible, and introduces one new 'main' character, with very little sucess in my opinion. It is a standard 'paint by numbers' sort of thriller, that the BBC Drama department are so good at. You keep reading, it seems to hold your attention,and you come away at the end feeling short changed. A big nothing,especially after the original trilogy. If there are more to come, having read this one, I will be avoiding future books in this 'collection'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
