What this book is about

David Lagercrantz's continuation of Stieg Larsson's Millennium series follows Lisbeth and Blomkvist as they investigate the murder of a computer scientist who was developing superintelligent AI while entangled with the NSA and a criminal hacker collective. Lagercrantz captures the series' tone reasonably well. The violence is significant and the thriller plotting is propulsive. For Millennium series readers.
