Default The Girl in the Spider's Web.

I had been thinking of buying this, but now.... It is the 4th book in the Lisbeth Salander series. Taken over by David Lagercrantz, the choice of the heirs of Steig Larsson to continue the story.

The book comes out on Tuesday, September 1, 2015. http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-...ntz/1121653319

How many authors have been "selected" to carry on Ian Fleming's James Bond series? Or Robert Ludlum's books?
I'm hopeful, but....

If they use the same translator as Larrson used, the book might be up to snuff, otherwise, I wouldn't even consider reading another book in the series by a different author. Rarely, if ever, works.

The James Bond series have some good authors. IMHO. BBC - Culture - Ranking the James Bond authors after Ian Fleming

Results for Reg Keeland | Book Depository

It is a different translator. Results for George Goulding | Book Depository

The Book Depository is in the UK and offers free shipping to many countries including the US and Canada. It has some discounts. This book came out in the UK before coming to the US. Probably too late now for this one, but if you know of a book that is coming out over there in the UK before it gets here and you really want to read it.

I get a lot of the Simon Scarrow Roman legionnaires books -- Macro and Cato-- from there. These come out often months before in the UK before getting to the US. Results for Simon-Scarrow | Book Depository

I bought it and am looking forward to finishing the very long "We Need to Talk About Kevin" so that I can dive in!

I didn't read "Kevin" but saw the movie 2x on TV. Can't remember where or when. I did enjoy the show and will try to fit in reading the book.
thanks for the reference
