	Movies - Nothing Lasts Forever

Nothing Lasts Forever is a 1979 novel by Roderick Thorp. It was adapted in 1988 as the film Die Hard
.

Nothing Lasts Forever is a sequel to Thorp's 1966 novel The Detective. It follows Detective Joe Leland, who is visiting the Claxxon Oil Corporation's headquarters in Los Angeles, where his daughter works. While he is visiting, a German terrorist team led by Anton "Tony" Gruber takes over the building. Leland remains undetected and fights off the terrorists one by one.

Despite the changing of certain characters names (Joe Leland to John McClane and Tony Gruber to Hans Gruber), the movie is fairly faithful to the novel. McClane communicates to the terrorists via walkie-talkie and commits some of the same acts of sabotage that Leland does in the novel.

Nothing Lasts Forever is a sequel to Thorp's previous novel The Detective, which was made into a 1966 film starring Frank Sinatra. However, Die Hard is not considered a sequel to that film because of the changes made.
