girl with the dragon tattoogirl who played with firehornetsnest

Lisbeth Salander—the heart of Larsson’s two previous novels—lies in critical condition, a bullet wound to her head, in the intensive care unit of a Swedish city hospital. She’s fighting for her life in more ways than one: if and when she recovers, she’ll be taken back to Stockholm to stand trial for three murders. With the help of her friend, journalist Mikael Blomkvist, she will not only have to prove her innocence, but also identify and denounce those in authority who have allowed the vulnerable, like herself, to suffer abuse and violence. And, on her own, she will plot revenge—against the man who tried to kill her, and the corrupt government institutions that very nearly destroyed her life.”

“Once upon a time, she was a victim. Now Salander is fighting back.”

steig larssonAfter reading that I don’t know if I can wait until May 2010 and I know many of you feel the same way.  Everyday someone comes in the bookstore and asks “When is the third book coming out?”  Stieg Larsson’s final book, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest is almost here.  We are taking advanced orders for the book now so give us a call and get on the list or reserve a copy on our website.  We will call you or ship the book to you the minute we unpack the box!!!

I absolutely loved The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and then I thought that The Girl Who Played with Fire was even better.  The reviews for The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest have been fantastic.   Of course, the book is already out in UK so here are a few reviews….

“Fans will not be disappointed: this is another roller-coaster ride that keeps you reading far too late into the night. Intricate but flawlessly plotted, it has complex characters as well as a satisfying, clear moral thrust.”
Evening Standard

“Salander is a magnificent creation: a feminist avenging angel . . . I cannot think of another modern writer who so successfully turns his politics away from a preachy manifesto and into a dynamic narrative device. Larsson’s hatred of injustice will drive readers across the world through a three-volume novel and leave them regretting the final page; and regretting, even more, the early death of a mastery storyteller just as he was entering his prime.”
Observer

“Larsson has produced a coup de foudre, a novel that is complex, satisfying, clever, moral . . . This is a grown-up novel for grown-up readers, who want something more than a quick fix and a car chase. And it’s why the Millennium trilogy is rightly a publishing phenomenon all over the world.”
Guardian

Get on this list! Don’t miss out! If you haven’t read any of these books come by Lemuria and pick one up!
