`Compulsive reading ... successfully blends ancient teachings with the highly charged ways of the 21st century ... bears all the hallmarks of a blockbuster'

Piers Morgan
`The best thriller I've read in years.'

Esquire

'More readable than The Da Vinci Code - the sense of menace is darker and the characters more believable'

Customer Reviews

Predictable
After reading many positive reviews about this book all I can say is I was left utterly disappointed. It didn't help that it took a fair amount of time to get the ball rolling and for the plot to develop. The Characters were all dull and predictable and I could even see where and when the twists and turns were coming. I have avoided giving this book 1 star for the simple fact that it had potential but like so many of this genre it failed to deliver

Very disappointing
Having seen good reviews for this book I decided to buy it for a holiday read but within a couple of chapters I was still waiting for the plot to start! Despite a strong desire to give up (I just didn't care about any of the characters and pretty much new what was going to happen) I finished the book. Very disappointing. It was like watching a very average action film.

terrible
After the rave review's Bourne's new book has received I was severely disappointed with the outcome. The writing is terrible, slow and contains a predictable plot.
The characters are poorly constructed, one-dimensional and at no time do you feel sympathy with any of them for the plight they find themselves in. The only thing which sustains the book is the content rather than any decent rhetoric
