Rebel

Rebel is the second installment in the Governor series, set in a future where Earth is subjugated by the Terran Empire. The story follows Earth’s governor, Colonel Dobrescu, as he navigates rebellion, political intrigue, and the delicate balance between duty and personal conviction. With humanity rising against the alien invaders, Dobrescu faces difficult choices to save his world while maintaining order. This military sci-fi novel combines strategic warfare with deep character development, exploring themes of loyalty, resistance, and the ethical dilemmas inherent in governing a suppressed population under an authoritarian regime.

Fatal Gambit

This tense, modern thriller plunges into the worlds of espionage, corruption, and cyber warfare. Set in a near-future where technology dominates and secrets can topple empires, the book follows a diverse set of characters—hackers, intelligence agents, and rogue operatives—as they become embroiled in a deadly game of power. With gripping twists and high-stakes scenarios, Lagercrantz weaves a narrative that explores the vulnerabilities of modern society, the consequences of hidden agendas, and the fragility of trust in a world increasingly ruled by data and surveillance.

Death at the Sanatorium

This chilling Nordic noir is set in Iceland’s remote and haunting landscape. Detective Ari Thor is called to investigate a suspicious death at a sanatorium once used to treat tuberculosis patients. Now an upscale wellness resort, the eerie setting harbors dark secrets. As Ari delves into the case, he uncovers a web of lies, old crimes, and hidden motives. Ragnar Jonasson’s atmospheric writing captures the isolation of the setting while building suspense, as the mystery deepens into a tale of guilt, betrayal, and the psychological weight of past tragedies.
