Description

NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • #1 INTERNATIONAL BEST SELLER • Lisbeth Salander returns, in a trailblazing new installment to the best-selling Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series • Also known as the Millennium series

“Lisbeth Salander is back—and maybe better than ever. Karin Smirnoff’s take is both respectful of the past and ready for the future—altogether remarkable.” —Lee Child, author of No Plan B

“An absolutely brilliant continuation of the series: exciting plot, plenty of action, and a sensitive portrayal of complicated relationships—where the new character Svala is one of the highlights.” —Femina

Change is coming to Sweden’s far north: its untapped natural resources are sparking a gold rush, with the criminal underworld leading the charge. But it’s not the prospect of riches that brings Lisbeth Salander to the small town of Gasskas. She has been named guardian to her niece Svala, whose mother has disappeared. Two things soon become clear: Svala is a remarkably gifted teenager—and she’s being watched.

Mikael Blomkvist is also heading north. He has seen better days. Millennium magazine is in its final print issue, and relations with his daughter are strained. Worse still, there are troubling rumors surrounding the man she’s about to marry. When the truth behind the whispers explodes into violence, Salander emerges as Blomkvist’s last hope.

A pulse-pounding thriller, The Girl in the Eagle’s Talons sees Salander and Blomkvist navigating a world of conspiracy and betrayal, old enemies and new friends, ice-bound wilderness and the global corporations that threaten to tear it apart.

    Just really not good. Nothing can touch the original three but even 4-6 were good. Just awful. And the ending? We don’t even find out what happened with half of these new characters/stories. I really wanted to like it but it just was NOT good.
  • Good action story

    I agree that this is much different from the original trilogy, but this is a great action story and it’s nice to see some real life tie ins to the movie series and Stieg himself as well. Enjoyed the read!
  • If not for the already formed characters, nonsensical

    So vile and ugly was the violence for most of the book, I had to skim until Lisbeth enters the picture. So disturbing that I will not continue this series.
  • Poorly written! Did not finish it! Gave up at 30%.

    Totally disjointed presentation and very disappointing story line. I would rather the series ended than endure this pathetic sequel. If your a fan of Lizbeth and Bloomvist do not bother.

    The writing is atrocious. The characters aren’t well developed. The plot line is uninspiring.. All in all a very poor choice of an author to continue the series.I guess I’m finished with this series.A disappointing end.
