My Book Purchase.

Great price and a fast service. The book was just a little lacking in condition!

Jason Bourne Lives

I spent the weekend listening to the audio version of the book and enjoyed it very much. The story flows and has a few twists that make you listen just 1 more chapter( until you realize it is 1:30 AM) My wife did not mind me because at least I did not have to have the book light on.

fast paced action book!

i enjoyed reading it, it was non-stop action, thrill a page kinda book! looking forward to reading the other two new bourne books!

You Go the Rounds With Bourne

I read Lustbadder's "Bourne Betrayal" before "Legacy." The 2nd was more accessible than this one. That's the mystifying frustration of authors and publishers: There are no formulas that guarantee the best books. Bourne Legacy picks up where Ultimatum leaves the character Jason Bourne. David Webb is retired from ops work and wants to live his life as a father and husband, unassailed from the dangers of his former career as an international assassin (albeit conscionable). Lustbader takes on the task of continuing the legacy Ludlam had started with gusto, placing Bourne in an endless series of perilous situations, and leaving him to fend for his life, while trying to sleuth the motives and powers driving the villains.

There is so much going on, that it's hard to recall where characters fit, and there is some fatigue that comes from the onslaught of action and intrigue. The payoff is adequate reward, but don't expect not to have to to work for it. Lustbader writes to an intelligent reader who isn't afraid to take the punches with his protagonist. You do feel as if you've gone the rounds and taken a beating. But the writing is very elaborate in the tradition of what Ludlum has started.

In Robert Ludlum's ground-breaking career, no other character so captured and held the world's imagination as Jason Bourne. He appeared in three of Robert Ludlum's own #1 bestselling novels - The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy, and The Bourne Ultimatum - and they remain amongst Ludlum's most-read and most-loved books to this day. Now, for the first time ever, the Estate of Robert Ludlum has acceded to the demands of readers around the world, turning to bestselling author Eric Van Lustbader to bring Jason Bourne back to life in a thrilling new novel.Jason Bourne is known and feared in the deadly world of covert-ops as one of the most highly skilled assassins for hire. Bourne, however, was merely an identity assumed by CIA agent David Webb, a personality implanted by the CIA to facilitate a dangerous operation, but one that threatened to subsume David Webb entirely.Years after the events of The Bourne Identity, Webb is no longer an active CIA agent and is now a professor of Eastern Studies at Georgetown University, living a quiet life, far from the dangers of his previous life. Until one day he finds himself the target of an assassin nearly as skilled as himself and is framed for the brutal murder of his two closest associates and friends. Fighting for his life against unseen assailants, as well as the full resources of the CIA who believe he has gone dangerously rogue, the Bourne identity asserts itself, leaving Jason Bourne in control. Now Bourne must use all his skills to stay alive as he battles against a determined assassin, the combined skills of the world's intelligence networks, and a shadowy figure in the background, skillfully manipulating events and people, in a far deadlier and more dangerous game than any of them realize.
