New York Times best-selling author, Eric Van Lustbader, returns with another Jason Bourne thriller as he spars off against another deadly agent - and he might be the perfect match for Bourne. Facing down mercenaries in Africa, Jason Bourne witnesses the death of an art dealer named Tracy Atherton. Her killing dredges up snatches of Bourne's impaired memory, in particular the murder of a young woman on Bali who entrusted him with a strangely engraved ring-an artifact of such powerful significance that people have killed to obtain it. Now he's determined to find the ring's owner and purpose.

But Bourne never knows what terrible acts he'll discover he committed when he digs into the past. The trail will lead him through layers of conspiracy to a vicious Russian mercenary, Leonid Arkadin, who was also a graduate of the Central Intelligence training program Treadstone. A covert course designed to create ruthless assassins for CI, it was shuttered by Congress for corruption. Yet before it was dismantled, it produced Bourne and Arkadin, giving them equal skills, equal force, and equal cunning.

As Bourne's destiny circles closer to Arkadin's, it becomes clear that the eventual collision of these men is not of their own making. Someone else has been watching and manipulating them. Someone who wants to know, Who is the more deadly agent?

Take another thrill ride with Jason Bourne.©2010 Eric Van Lustbader (P)2010 Hachette Action & Adventure Espionage Mystery, Thriller & Suspense Spies & Politics Suspense Thriller & Suspense Africa

Sound effects are too invasive. I don't see the need for them at all. Other than that, the book is typical Bourne and entertaining.

The sound effects are a bit much and unnecessary.

narrator needs to forget trying to use foreign or female accents. Most of the Bourne stories are great this phone was lacking in every aspect I can think of. Almost scared to try the next one in the series.

very poor narrator

I'd read this book before watching the movie. A great read, well narrated. I'm yet to read the other books in the series, but I'm sure that they too will be just great.

A good book

What did you love best about Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Objective?

The story as a whole was as expected from the Bourne series, with the one exception of dropping off where the last book was and picking up where the last movie was. Anyone that had seen and read the last book knows what I am talking about. I understand that there was going to have to be a reconciliation for the series to continue, but I'd have been more pleased if a way was found to address the Bourne family as we had come to know it and go on with the Bourne program without loosing the thread of the original family.

If you’ve listened to books by Eric Van Lustbader before, how does this one compare?

Yes, this one is very similar in style.

What about Scott Sowers’s performance did you like?

I didn't notice the narrator, which to me is a good thing.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

The only extreme reaction was that the story line took such an abrupt change at the very beginning.

Loss of thread from last book a let down

Would you consider the audio edition of Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Objective to be better than the print version?

Yes. I would prefer the audiobook of this book.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Thrilling, mind-twisting, suspenseful. and entertaining for the new Science Fiction Mystery Thriller fan.

Which scene was your favorite?

The best scene is the part of the finding out the real truth about a friend.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

This book surprised me at the most part with the twists and turns in this book story.

Any additional comments?

If you have not read all of the previous installments, you will be lost; however, if you know something about the series, this is a perfect read for all (acceptable) age groups.

One of the Best Bourne Books

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

The story in this book is a great continuation of his previous books, but the narrator is very difficult to listen too. I would recommend listening to this book for the sake of the story line, but be prepared for a let down on the delivery of the story.

Any additional comments?

If you enjoy these books, check out American Assassin by Vince Flynn.

Not your average Bourne story.
