About this listen
Salander is plotting her revenge - against the man who tried to kill her, and against the government institutions that very nearly destroyed her life. But it is not going to be a straightforward campaign. After taking a bullet to the head, Salander is under close supervision in Intensive Care, and is set to face trial for three murders and one attempted murder on her eventual release.
With the help of journalist Mikael Blomkvist and his researchers at Millennium magazine, Salander must not only prove her innocence, but identify and denounce the corrupt politicians that have allowed the vulnerable to become victims of abuse and violence. Once a victim herself, Salander is now ready to fight back.

The tales of The Silmarillion are set in an age when Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwelt in Middle-earth, and the High Elves made war upon him for the recovery of the Silmarils, the jewels containing the pure light of Valinor. Included on the recording are several shorter works. The Ainulindalë is a myth of the Creation and in the Valaquenta the nature and powers of each of the gods is described. The Akallabêth recounts the downfall of the great island kingdom of Númenor at the end of the Second Age, and Of the Rings of Power tells of the great events at the end of the Third Age.

Critic reviews
"With the spiky and sassy Lisbeth Salander - punkish wild child, traumatised survivor of the 'care' system, sexual adventurer and computer hacker of genius - Larsson created the most original heroine to emerge in crime fiction for many years." (The Independent)
"Complex, satisfying, clever, moral...a grown-up novel for grown-up readers...this is why the Millennium Trilogy is rightly a publishing phenomenon all over the world." (Kate Mosse)

Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

A Fabulous Finale
It is rare that a series gets stronger as it goes along, but Hornets' Nest is a terrific finale. When I got to the last part of the book, I sat for five hours straight so that I could find out what happened. It is a great feminist novel, though many readers might not notice...

Completely satisfying
I don't normally gush about books, but this trilogy had me completely hooked from beginning to end. This last book is the longest of all three and I wish it could have been longer. What an incredibly accomplished ending to an intricate and unique story. While I thought the books were brilliant, my spouse found the first one boring and sluggish and stopped with that one. However, I enjoyed the "slow" parts of Larsson's writing and found it really built character and setting, but I'm sure there are people that will find it painfully dull in places. I would say the first book is the most action-packed, and they get less action oriented from there and more, uh, informative I guess. Again though, I loved all three. Oh, and Saul Reichlin is fantastic as a reader! He's like listening to a good friend tell you a great story.

A great conclusion to a thrilling trilogy
Another really good thriller from the late Stieg Larsson. What a pity that he's lost to us! This one is the third in the wonderful Millenium trilogy, and neatly ties up most of the loose ends. It's well-written, a mix of fast and slow pace, intelligent and tense ... what more could one want? Well, there is something more ... Larsson's left leanings tend to influence this trilogy too strongly, in that pretty much every villain is a rabid capitalist, while every liberal or leftist is totally squeaky clean. Life is never that simple, and some shades of gray would have elevated the writing. But, in the end, I'm not complaining - all in all you did a great job Stieg! The narration by Saul Reichlin is excellent.

I feel sorry for my friends "reading" these books. the Swedish names and places are difficult. Listening to Saul read these books to me was like listening to beautiful music. His wonderful English and beautiful Swedish pronunciation made the books more interesting.
The story however was FANTASTIC!!! I sat and listened to the last 4 hrs twice in a row. It is such a shame to think it will be the end. It would have been fun looking forward to the next adventure of Blomqvist and Salander.

A truly great read
What a fabulous book. The best book of the trilogy. I couldn't wait to find out what happened but was very sad when it was finished. How sad that a brilliant author has been lost to this world.
