review 1: Reviewed by Nikki Pringle for Reader Views (8/08)When we catch up with Jason Bourne this time around, we find our hero doing his best to put the past behind him and move forward by living his life as his astute linguistic scholar alter-ego, David Webb. Memories of his beloved Marie and of his time spent in Project Treadstone under the direction of Alex Conklin still lurk beneath the surface. Bourne is not sure how much longer her can keep up the façade of a college professor when within him is the heart and mind of a trained assassin.First, Moira Trevor requests his assistance with a security evaluation of an LNG terminal being built and readied for its first delivery of natural gas. Any threat to the depot would spell disaster for the United States economy and for the li... moreves of the thousands of people living in Long Beach, California. While Bourne understands her apprehension and the need to review security measures before the first delivery arrives, he is determined to focus his attention on the new life he is trying to build for himself at the university.Shortly after, his mentor at the university, Dominic Spector, comes to Bourne with a tale of treachery, international intrigue, and a terrorist threat from an organization long thought to be dead. The Black Legion was bred during the rule of the Third Reich during World War II and unbeknownst to most, it is still in existence and more powerful than ever, working as an unseen force in the dark underbelly of Europe. Spector requests Bourne’s assistance with finding out the location that the Black Legion is planning to attack.With an interagency war between the National Security Agency and Central Intelligence raging at home, and a mob war happening abroad, Bourne is pulled in a multitude of directions and must use all of his training to fight unknown predators at every turn. “The Bourne Sanction” is full of the pulse-pounding action that readers of the Bourne series have come to expect. Determining who is working for whom and in what capacity will test Bourne’s allegiances and the truths he hold sacred. He is in for the fight of his life when the tables are turned and the hunter becomes the hunted. Eric Van Lustbader takes readers on a thrill ride with enough twists and turns to leave them dizzy, breathless, and longing for more.
review 2: A professor friend asks David Webb to help him find out who killed one of his friends in Europe. Jason Bourne swings into action looking for the killer(s) who were attempting to steal plans by a terrorist group called The Black Legion regarding an attack on US soil. At The same time the NSA is attempting to capture Jason to gain a foothold in the Counter Intelligence field. Along with that, an assassian is trying to find and kill Jason in retaliation for Jason killing his friend. less
