From Publishers WeeklyLustbader resurrects Ludlum's hero in this thriller that fails to recapture the intensity of the original but still packs plenty of punches. This time around, Jason Bourne must track down his would-be assassin, but finds himself in the middle of an investigation that could trigger a new world war. Jeremy Davidson brings the novel necessary realism with a range of believable characters. His ability to capture the subtleties of numerous accents and dialects without falling into caricature is commendable. A splendid reading of an otherwise routine action thriller.

The understatement with which Davidson portrays Bourne's return to life-and-death adventures befits the character..... The high action is further enhanced by sound effects and musical transitions. Ludlum fans will not be disappointed" (AudioFile Magazine on ROBERT LUDLUM'S THE BOURNE SANCTION )About the AuthorROBERT LUDLUM was the author of twenty-seven novels, each one a New York Times bestseller.

When I did realize it, I was so disappointed because I couldn't imagine a "new" writer doing the series justice. It took me YEARS to finally read it. I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED!!! Upon finishing it, I immediately went to the Kindle store and bought all of the books between Ludlum's last and "The Bourne Betrayal". I've enjoyed every one. My only complaint is the author's repeated use of "d'you" no matter the nationality of the character speaking. I find it very distracting if the character is anything other than American and it kind of throws me out of the story while I go back to see who was speaking.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Ho HumBy The DukeIf you like fantastic or too fantastic, then read on. Consistancy of character is lost as Jason Bourne and the supporting cast lose their identities established by Ludlum. Whilst reading I sensed that I had to familiarise myself with a new set of characters, who are behaving out of 'character'. Past loyalties are conveniently forgotten and some of the historic links are tenuous. Eric should have just created a new 'hero', who unlike the original Jason, gets beaten to a pulp in most encounters and somehow manages to fend off evil with a quick box to the ears. Ludlum erred on the side of realism - von Luststraberbaderem wants us to take many leaps of faith in one chapter. 3 stars because contemporary conflicts are woven into the backdrop - else two stars would be a bonus. A potentially good yarn spoilt by pandering to a potential Hollywood script.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Marguerite Wilsongreat book
