This is just like reading a movie: from the opening page the action is bang in your face. It s a great series, healthily maintained by Lustbader who is now well-established as carrying on Robert Ludlum's legacy. - The West AustralianLustbader s famous pacing is in force... He is a slick operator who knows how to keep pages turning. - Sunday Mail Brisbane

Terrorists after a mineral essential to creating a powerful weapon pose only one obstacle for Jason Bourne in Lustbader's sixth tale about the late Ludlum's titular spy. Bourne needs the help of Boris Karpov, but the Russian agent has been ordered to kill his old friend. The headlong action ranges from the mountains of Colombia to Europe and Syria as Bourne battles his way out of one life-threatening situation after another. As is usual with this series, there are so many characters that the intricate plot occasionally becomes a bit muddled. Jeremy Davidson provides an excellent reading, offering his consistently impressive mix of international accents. Unfortunately, corny musical cues providing transitions and underscoring the action sequences distract from Davidson's fine work. Despite this annoyance, Lustbader creates enough excitement to entertain loyal fans of the series. [See Major Audio Releases, LJ 6/1/11.-Ed.]-Michael Adams, CUNY Graduate Ctr. Lib.
