"While Eric will never reach the heights of Robert Ludlum, he keeps improving in every book he writes. This master piece has tension throughout(has Bourne finally met his match with his best friend tasked to kill him) and ample twists and tales throughout-in its own right the book is a master piece. And the new characters introduced in the book can easily allow this series to continue in perpetuity. No Harry Potter like early termination here."

— Barnes & Noble editorial review“[The Bourne Dominon] is a testament to Lustbader’s skills...he can keep everyone in place and blazing away without losing track of the ongoing plot.”
— Publishers Weekly“The twists, the nonstop action, and the multilayered plot that Ludlum fans expect are here in abundance. Fans of the Bourne films will eat this one up.”
— BooklistDon't ever begin a Ludlum novel if you have to go to work the next day.
— CHICAGO SUN TIMESLustbader is an excellent storyteller and is not afraid to keep the twists and turns coming in this sequel...This is an explosive addition to a series with an unrivaled heritage and storied pedigree.
— Bookreporter.com on THE BOURNE BETRAYALReading a Ludlum novel is like watching a James Bond film...slickly paced...all-consuming.
— ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLYAs twisted, dark and exciting as the others.
— THE OKLAHOMAN on THE BOURNE SANCTION" It was ok, I wish the Bourne series played more along the lines of the original books. Not the worst of the new sequels but not the best either. "
— Phil, 2/17/2014" As usual alot of badies get offed, and Bourne takes a licking and keeps on ticking. "
— Malia, 2/6/2014" So many twists and ends wanting more. Just another GREAT book to a GREAT series. "
— Grant, 2/3/2014" I found myself wandering off mentally all the time. This was a spy version of Tolkein. There was so much blah blah blah that I got bored all the time. Information overload. Characters with similar sounding names kept throwing me off. I have enjoyed Ludlum's books, but this was not Ludlum. I've read other Van Lustblader books not in the Bourne series, but this was not a good one. I would not reccomend this to anyone, but the audio narrator did a great job at it. "
— Scott, 2/1/2014" Very confusing. I'm thinking there was another book beforehand because the story refers from time to time to characters I haven't met yet. I didn't know who was who so I couldn't wait to finish the book. "
— Bill, 1/29/2014" At this point, every new book in this series should add another charge of Criminal Misappropriation of a Classic Literary Character. Ludlum's Bourne was one of my favorite characters of all time and shaped many of my reading choices over the years. Van Lustbader's Bourne... bleh. "
— Darren, 1/20/2014" Rather hard to follow, but the twists and turns kept me reading quickly, so I could keep track of who was on which side. "
— Diane, 1/15/2014" Smart. Keeps you on the edge of your seat. The Red Circle: My Life in the Navy SEAL Sniper Corps and How I Trained America's Deadliest Marksmen "
— Michael, 1/4/2014" I picked this up in the airport because I forgot a book for my 5 hour flight. This was a good book. It got a bit confusing at times following the plot lines and connections, especially since I hadn't read the middle Bourne books (I think I've only read the first two). "
— Justin, 12/14/2013" A bit annoying..... "
— Mimi, 12/11/2013" Come on, come all, Bourne fans unite! The trilogy continues with Jason Bourne fighting to save America today with the help of a Russian "friend/enemy". Truly a summer read. "
— Mary, 12/11/2013" THIS IS A MYSTERY ADVENTURE. I ENJOYED THIS BOOK MUCH BETTER THAN I THOUGHT I WOULD.IT HAS A GOOD PLOT LOTS OF FUN BAD GUYS AND EVEN MORE FUN GOOD GUYS.IT IS ONE OF THOSE BOOKS THAT DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE A REDEEMING FEATURE. FOR ME IT WAS JUST FUN TO READ. THIS IS A BOOK I RECOMEND.. "
— Peter, 7/21/2013" one of the worst books I hve ever read. Lustbader cannot hold aa candle to Ludlum. Ugh!!! "
— Quinnwilliam99, 7/2/2013" Good brain candy. Nothing exceptional. "
— Jim, 6/23/2013" As emotionally engaging as reading a cereal box. "
— Michael, 5/15/2013" Okay. Typical Bourne stuff. "
— Ivan, 2/18/2013" Not bad, wrapped some stuff up in that one. Now we will have to see what the Imperative holds in store!!! Any guesses as to who comes back from the grave in this one?? "
— Andy, 1/14/2013" Full of action on every page. I have enjoyed all of the books in this continuing series. This one left the door open to another episode, hopefully soon. "
— Kathy, 12/16/2012" got a lot better the more i read! "
— Perry, 12/15/2012" Bourne does it again. Eric Van Lustbader has truly made this character his own, and every other important person in these stories has been the creation of the new author. Intrigue, back-stabbing, politics, spies, action - fun! "
— Jonathan, 9/15/2012" Eh! It started slow then felt like it was all thrown together at then end. It was just okay... "
— Kristina, 6/19/2012" Whew! finally got to the end of this one a lot of different scenarios in this novel - but overall it's good read plenty of action. "
— Shaun, 12/30/2011" I do not think that Mr Van Lustbader did a good job. The first part of the book is confusing and too many (even if apparently) happen. And then, in a few pages, the end. I think that, in the past, he did a better job. Thank you. "
