It's a relief to leave the Bourne identity behind, but Jason soon finds himself in a life-or-death confrontation where every move might be his last. Specter tells him that a former student and son of his old friend was killed by Muslim extremists known as the Eastern Brotherhood. Their leader is a man named Semian Icoupov, and he must be stopped because his next terrorist target is believed to be right here in America. While Jason is busy pursuing Icoupov in Russia, he's become a target himself. Inside CI, a battle is brewing for control over the agency. In order to show the incompetence of its current director, two Pentagon operatives plan to accomplish what CI never could--hunt Bourne down and destroy him. Average Rating:

Rating: - I Can't Wait For The MovieI never thought I would love this book as much as I did. The first book written for the Jason Bourne character by Van Lustbader,was a snore feast and it wasn't very believable. This one is a hugggghhhh step up, and being a big fan of Bourne I can't wait for the next one. Rating:  - Where was Bourne??I was a huge fan of the original Bourne. The character was special - you had the feeling of finely honed skills resulting from the ultimate training. An almost superhuman figure. The main character of this book may have gone by that name but was a different character in my view. You did not get the feeling he was anything special and heaven knows how he prevailed in all his various battles. I got a similar feeling from the general manner in which the story was written - almost like the ...
