Publisher Description

New York Times bestselling author, Eric Van Lustbader, returns with another Jason Bourne thriller as he spars off against another deadly agent--and he might be the perfect match for Bourne.



Facing down mercenaries in Africa, Jason Bourne witnesses the death of an art dealer named Tracy Atherton. Her killing dredges up snatches of Bourne's impaired memory, in particular the murder of a young woman on Bali who entrusted him with a strangely engraved ring-an artifact of such powerful significance that people have killed to obtain it. Now he's determined to find the ring's owner and purpose. But Bourne never knows what terrible acts he'll discover he committed when he digs into the past.

The trail will lead him through layers of conspiracy to a vicious Russian mercenary, Leonid Arkadin, who was also a graduate of the Central Intelligence training program Treadstone. A covert course designed to create ruthless assassins for C.I., it was shuttered by Congress for corruption. Yet before it was dismantled, it produced Bourne and Arkadin, giving them equal skills, equal force, and equal cunning.

As Bourne's destiny circles closer to Arkadin's, it becomes clear that the eventual collision of these men is not of their own making. Someone else has been watching and manipulating them. Someone who wants to know, Who is the more deadly agent?

"I definitely enjoyed this book but felt it was a little disjointed. I am a Robert Ludlum fan and I think that Eric Van Lustbader is doing a fine job of keeping the Bourne series going. However, I really have to try to not make the comparison between his writing style and Ludlum's. Is it just me or is the style getting farther away from the original with each new book? If I can keep myself from making the comparison I do thoroughly enjoy the Bourne series and will continue to recommend them and read more myself."

    " Another good Bourne story - though try read these in order. I missed a book or two and was a bit confused at the beginning. The usual shinanigans - lots of fighting and intrigue. "

    " I miss Ludlum. This is formulaic and boring. I read it all because I just kept hoping it would get better. I like the movies much better. Lustbader must have been hired to churn these out for $$ more than quality. "

    " It was a good book and follows almost exactly where the previous book left off. Several twists and such, not really too many surprises in this one though. I could have done without the lesbian crap in the book. I saw no need to put this in to forward the story line, and the stuff about the depends / fecal torture, that could have been left out as it had almost nothing to do with the story. I started to feel at several points that the author was spreading the story out in almost too many different ways. If this had been a movie you would get dizzy from them switching from one group of people / scene to another going on somewhere else at the same time. At one time there were five or six scenes going on simultaneously, along with scenes of flashbacks. I had lost track a few times reading this, but it was fairly easy to pick back up as to where you actually were. Because of this I gave it only 3, where I had given most in the series 4. Now onto book 9. ^mepo "

    " This Bourne installment was the most difficult to follow. So many characters and sub plots, hard to keep them all straight. The ending is so vague and open ended, not sure what to expect from the next volume. I'd be quite interested to learn more about King Solomon's gold, however! "
