Customer Reviews

Let Bourne rest!!!
I was expecting this book to be just as good as Bourne Legacy, which I thought was a great book that breathed new life into Robert Ludlums jason Bourne.

Unfortuantly, this book tie's up more with the Matt Damon movie Jason Bourne, than the book Jason Bourne.

You get the feeling you are reading about a guy in his early 40's rather than a guy in his mid 60's!!!

and the time lines are totally off!

The second character who helps Jason, she comes across as a 30-something office girl, yet she is suppose to have worked with jason on a mission he did before he lost his memory 30 years ago!!!

To be honest though, the story is not that great... Van Lustbader has tried to write in the style of Martin Cruz Smith, and make it sound more like an Arkady Renko story than a Jason Bourne story!

Do not hope for much from this book!

a bad book made worse by sloppy publishing
This story is OK if you leave realism behind. But my real bug bear with this novel was the amount of typos, and incoherent sentences (due to bad spell checking) that jar as you read and remove you from the story. Barely a chapter went by with out a shocking error.
One gets the feeling that the publishing team really didn't care. Or one could say the story got the care it deserved.

PS. someone needs to explain to the author the difference between a Sony PSP and a PS3 If they can't accurately portray a kids toy how on earth do they think they can speak about latest advances in surveillance technology with any credibility.

Possibly the worst book I have ever read
This book is truly atrocious and only curiosity as to what writing horror would come next kept me going. Exposition: you got it, by the pageful. Cod ghetto dialogue: so much, it was at times almost impossible to understand, yo. Disjointed plot: it was hard to keep up with the non-sequiturs. Lazy writing and unlikely coincidences as a means of getting the hero out of tricky situations: with ever chapter. Foolishly, I saw Robert Ludlum's name at the top of the cover and thought he had written it. I was done. Robert, you should be ashamed to have put your name to such garbage.
