review 1: From the cover: In this thrilling and absorbing new novel Jason Bourne is faced with an impossible mission. He has been hired to impersonate a high-level government minister at a political summit meeting in Qatar, shielding the minister from any assassination attempts. Suddenly, armed gunmen storm the room, killing everyone but Bourne. Their target, however, isn't the minister Bourne impersonates....it is Bourne himself.I’ve seen a couple of the movies, but this is the first ‘Bourne’ book I have read. Overall I didn’t think it was a great book, but I didn’t think it was a bad one either. There is lots of action in the book and it definitely keeps moving. There are many characters in this book, for me far too many. No one is really developed all that well. The min... moreor or background characters are just that. They don’t have a lot to do with the story line-they are just ‘there’. If you are a fan of the Bourne series, you will want to read this book. Also if you are a fan of action type books you may also want to read the book. I’m not a fan of books that jump from one storyline to another with little interaction between them.
review 2: I was amazed what with recent events in the world to read this novel. This author absolutely hit the nail on the head concerning ISIS and their threat to the world and their goals. This is fiction, but it is chilling to see what the author knew about conditions that were to develop and how the US would be drawn into the fray again. I read every word, even the parts that are filled with painful truths! less
