review 1: If you haven't read any of the previous books in this series (and I haven't), it will be all you can do to keep from being totally confused in this one. There are far too many characters, many very similar, and their allegiances, connections and specific roles are almost impossib...

review 1: Last Snow was the second installment of the Eric Van Lustbader's Jack McClure series. The plot centers around Jack McClure, a private agent of the President, operating in Russia to uncover the mysterious death of a Cabinet member. It is not necessary to have read the first book ...

review 1: I miss Robert Ludlum. After the Bourne Ultimatum this is the next book that has potential from Eric Van Lustbader. I was really looking forward to Bourne's premonition of death, the meeting between Bourne and Arkadin.This book follows the typical pattern of the other books; there...

review 1: I thought that this book was a good sequel to the Bourne Sanction. I liked it because it tied everything together. If you read the first book it showed Arkadin's motives and made it a very worth while read. It also has a good storyline and is very suspenseful. I would recomme...

review 1: I received this title free through the Goodreads First Reads program. An action-packed adventure with plenty of espionage and world hopping. You never know who is who and who's going to betray someone. Friends are enemies and enemies friends. And definitely like the Bourne mo...

review 1: Cut my teeth on the Bourne trilogy 30 years ago. Reread them before the movies were released and fell in love with them again. I walked by the bargain bin at the bookstore and picked up The Bourne Sanction, Bourne Dominion, the Bourne Objective and a fourth Bourne book......unf...

review 1: Albania/Macedonia - I generally enjoy political thrillers. I couldn't find the first two in the series and hoped I could "catch up" with the story. Wow, it was difficult. The ghost of Jack's daughter visited the main characters and that made the book a little weird. A lot of door...

review 1: Should most likely be rated at 2.5*. The first half is well written and interesting. The second half drags as Lustbader subjects the reader to long stretches of uninteresting dialogue and sub-plots that only tangentially relate to the main story. The ending is totally disappoin...

review 1: This is #1 in a Jack McClure Novel. This one started off very hard to read for me. I don't really care for religious zealots in a mystery that I am reading. However, about half way through, I actually started wanting to finish the book and find out how it all played out. I ha...

review 1: I was about to leave the series after the bizarre Retribution, Dominion, Imperative....and others in which the plot was completely unfeasible with Bourne dealing with strange people (some weird Mexican drug dealers, their wives, daughters, Chinese politicians in alliance with rog...

review 1: The Bourne Objective continues the Bourne vs. Arkadin story arc. While it was a good summer read, it wasn't as good as it could have been.Minor spoilers ahead.The first part of the novel seems to resolve the fallout of the previous novel. We learn that Leonid Arkadin has taken ov...

review 1: The back and forth writing style bouncing around from character to character is tough for me to follow because I read in bits and spurts so it becomes hard to keep up. With that said the narrative is good, there are plenty of clear descriptions and I enjoyed some of the dialogue....

review 1: This does not even come close to what I had come to expect from Lustbader's continuation of the famous Ludlum novels. It is simply a bridge from Lustbader's previous Bourne novel which I enjoyed to what I sincerely hope is a vastly improved next book. As I have so much enjoyed ...

review 1: This book is very entertaining and even though I read it without reading the books before it I still liked it. I would though suggest reading the books before it because they explain a lot of the missing key details that the writer does not go over in this book. The book is for...

review 1: Eli Yadin, hoofd van de Mossad en persoonlijke vriend van Jason Bourne vermoedt dat er een connectie bestaat tussen de Mexicaanse drugskartels en het Chinese Politbureau en dat de illegale handel tussen de twee verder gaat dan het alleen maar smokkelen van drugs. Om daar zekerhei...

review 1: Van Lustbader's Bourne books are never going to be the original Ludlum trilogy. Ludlum was much more cerebral and akin to classic spy novels. That being said, this book was Van Lustbader's best one since the first one he wrote. It was a sharp, taut, engaging thriller from start t...

review 1: OK. So at this point there really is no Bourne identity. David Webb is pretty much gone, and the undead / anti-aging super agent named Jason Bourne is all that remains.This one merely took the amnesia bit, and perhaps played it too far. How convenient that he would remember a fra...

review 1: I'm done. I can't stand another botched Bourne book. Jason Bourne AND David Webb are dead in my view. Who murdered him? Eric van lustbader. Horrible. I was trying to convince myself to read the Bourne Imperative but I found out that there are two more books after that one. I just...

review 1: Got this one free on the Android Nexus 7, so decided to give it a whirl, as I'm a huge fan of the original Bourne series.In a word, ridiculous.The story was far too fragmented, with very little of Bourne in it. Jason lost a lot of what made him, him (he's only an above average "...

review 1: Really enjoyed this book. Good action sequences, although it seemed that Bourne was choked almost to the point of passing out on numerous occasions. However, I think Eric Van Lustbader picks up where Robert Ludlum left off. I had picked this book up at a book sale and had it i...

review 1: Wow - this was really intense. A friend gave me the audio of this and so I listened. It is an all senses on alert, expect to be surprised kind of read. It is not my typical go to read but once in a while it is good to be stretched and taken on a trip across many nations by variou...
