Product Description:
Once, Jason Bourne was notorious in the clandestine world of covert-ops as one of the CIA's most expert international killers for hire. Out of the ashes of his violent past he's emerged yesterday as a Georgetown professor, living a quiet life, retired from danger-until he narrowly escapes the bullet of a faceless assassin. And when two of Bourne's closest associates are murdered, Bourne knows that his legacy has followed him-and set him up as prime suspect for the brutal crimes.
The quicksand of lies and betrayals is deeper than Bourne ever imagined. Hunted by the CIA as a dangerous rogue agent, he has only one option to stay alive-and one last chance to stay one step ahead of an unseen assailant whose vengeance is personal. Pursued across the globe, Bourne's on the run, and on the edge of discovering the truth-that he's become the expendable pawn in an international terrorist plot. One that's taking every living witness with it and plunging Bourne one step closer to the world-shattering consequences of...

Great price and a fast service. The book was just a little lacking in condition!

It took me a while to get up the nerve to pick up the very first installment of Van LustBADers Bourne books for fear of having my heart ripped out. I finally picked it up and now that I have, I truly wish that I had not. The experience is similar to the feeling of savoring the taste of your favorite dessert all the the way through only to find, oh, let just say a roach at the end. Crass? Yes, but that's how it feels. Somewhere between the comic book style of writing and the random, lengthy history lesson on Crete in chapter 16 (WTF) where I found myself skipping forward, Jason Bourne died for me.
I absolutely loved this series. It is hard to see it go down like this. More important than a good story, is a great story teller. The voice behind a story is what makes that book live. I don't know Van Lustbader but he should stop feeding off of carrion, have a little integrity, and find his own kill. Yes, I am calling him a vulture. Let Bourne rest in peace.
I miss Ludlum's voice.

I read Lustbadder's "Bourne Betrayal" before "Legacy." The 2nd was more accessible than this one. That's the mystifying frustration of authors and publishers: There are no formulas that guarantee the best books. Bourne Legacy picks up where Ultimatum leaves the character Jason Bourne. David Webb is retired from ops work and wants to live his life as a father and husband, unassailed from the dangers of his former career as an international assassin (albeit conscionable). Lustbader takes on the task of continuing the legacy Ludlam had started with gusto, placing Bourne in an endless series of perilous situations, and leaving him to fend for his life, while trying to sleuth the motives and powers driving the villains.
There is so much going on, that it's hard to recall where characters fit, and there is some fatigue that comes from the onslaught of action and intrigue. The payoff is adequate reward, but don't expect not to have to to work for it. Lustbader writes to an intelligent reader who isn't afraid to take the punches with his protagonist. You do feel as if you've gone the rounds and taken a beating. But the writing is very elaborate in the tradition of what Ludlum has started.

I spent the weekend listening to the audio version of the book and enjoyed it very much. The story flows and has a few twists that make you listen just 1 more chapter( until you realize it is 1:30 AM) My wife did not mind me because at least I did not have to have the book light on.
