In Robert Ludlum's ground-breaking career, no other character so captured the world's imagination as Jason Bourne. He appeared in three of Robert Ludlum's own #1 bestselling novels, his bestselling works to this day. Now, with the major motion picture adaptation of Ludlum's The Bourne Supremacy, the Ludlum estate has finally acceded to the demands of readers around the world, turning to bestselling writer Eric Van Lustbader to create a brand new Jason Bourne novel, The Bourne Legacy. Jason Bourne, international assassin of deadly repute, was an identity assumed by covert agent David Webb. Retired from the CIA and now a professor at Georgetown University, Webb's life is finally his own—until he becomes the target of an assassin and is framed for the murder of his two closest associates. Fighting for his life against unseen assailants, the Bourne identity asserts itself, leaving Jason Bourne in control. Barely a half-step ahead of his nemesis and the CIA, who believes he has gone rogue, Bourne finds himself a pawn in a larger, far deadlier game.

"Well, reading a Lustbader book's like reading a book from Frank Herber'ts son. Well written. Page turner. By the numbers action. Sure. But the Ludlum voice is no longer there. Yet despite the anodyne 'voice' Lustbader has (and his mixing metaphors) I sorta enjoyed this quite a lot. Nice twist on a series that's shifted quite a way from where the films went."
— Mike (4 out of 5 stars)
“It's a hearty serving of meat and potatoes action adventure, just the sort of fare that both Ludlum's and Lustbader's fans relish.
— Publishers WeeklyLustbader remains a fine choice to fill Ludlum's large shoes, and he has delivered a work worthy of the Bourne legacy.
— USA Today" Exciting and non-stop action. The new Bond is much better written than the original Bonds, and now he's American! "
— Gavin, 2/16/2014" A little too much escaping from one dire situation to the next without enough substance. Like it was written to be a movie. "
— Johnsom2478, 2/15/2014" Very good book. It was the first one of the Jason Bourne books. "
— Joe, 2/13/2014" Good beach read. I'm not entirely clear on the order of all the Bourne books, but I'm pretty sure you can read this right after you read (or watch) Bourne Supremacy (the third movie). "
— Beth, 2/10/2014" It was nice but didn't enjoy as much as the first three books... "
— Pranshu, 2/5/2014" this is the next to bourne ultimatum. can't get my hands on bourne betrayal! "
— Lentot, 2/3/2014" Didn't have the vibrant feel to it like Robert Ludlum's stories of Jason Bourne. But it was okay. Maybe it had something to do with expectations. "
— AurelioZen, 1/23/2014" Didn't like it that much as the Ludlum ones, still very entertaining, someone from the past comes to make Bourne's life more 'complete' "
— Eva, 1/20/2014" Every other sentence they were swearing F this and GD that. Some foul language doesn't bother me too much if it isn't too much or if it is context, but I felt the characters were just swearing because they could. I couldn't finish it. "
— Angela, 1/11/2014" Super, and very neatly scripted story. Has every drop of adrenaline pumped up during the course "
