1) Mass Market Paperback Book Robert Ludlum's (TM) The Bourne Betrayal by Vision. Wow,I avoid reading the reviews, so they won´t taint my opinion. The polarization on "Bourne Betrayal" is baffling. Even if it isn´t the greatest ever, it certainly isn´t the worst. Eric van Lustbader takes on a daunting challenge to continue a character that Ludlum endeared to readers. So many land mines, and he handles the material well.

Ludlum´s "Bourne Identity" got me hooked on thrillers, and van Lustbader is a worthy successor to carry on the battles. The action, characterization, depth of texture, villains, and plot are all up to the standards set by Ludlum. I´m a fan too of the movies. The franchise has life to it, that lets you still be surprised by the unexpected. The pace is equal, the intrigue meaningful, and the stories intense.¤

2) Mass Market Paperback Book Robert Ludlum's (TM) The Bourne Betrayal by Vision. Unlike Clancy, Ludlum has not lost his flair for quality and he never will. As is typical of books that Ludlum either writes or sponsors, this book is fast-paced, full of action, twists and surprises. But what intrigued me most about this work is its relevance to the present. It once again demonstrates the inevitibility of a nuclear attack on our soil by Islamic terrorists.

The book should be a wakeup call to Americans and, more generally, to people of the civilized world. Our governments need to acquire the strength of Churchill as opposed to the current Chamberlainish dose of continued inaction, vacillation, lack of resolve and futility of irrelevant, corrupt adventurism displayed by politicians of all colors - right and left. Unless this changes soon, the events described in this book are likely to happen in the near future.

Clancy showed vision with the Japanese pilot ramming his plane into the Capitol in "Debt of Honor", some ten years before 9/11. This book shows a similar insight; it is a prophecy of what is to come.¤

3) Mass Market Paperback Book Robert Ludlum's (TM) The Bourne Betrayal by Vision. I wish I would have read the reviews BEFORE I purchased this book in paperback. I read many books a year and this one just isn´t keeping my interest at all.

This is my first Van Lustbader (I actually didn´t realize it wasn´t actually written by Robert Ludlum until I read the reviews).

Extremely disappointing. Just plain boring.¤

4) Mass Market Paperback Book Robert Ludlum's (TM) The Bourne Betrayal by Vision. This is a continuing great read by Eric Van Lustbader, who is doing an excellent job of keeping the Bourne story alive. Jason Bourne is definately the "007" of the 21st century. The story line is interesting, with well written scenes and colorful characters. Action packed must read. Can´t wait to see this one on the big screen!¤

5) Mass Market Paperback Book Robert Ludlum's (TM) The Bourne Betrayal by Vision. Boring! Wow, Lustbader has done it again, he out me right to sleep. After getting years of enjoyment out of Ludlum´s (and I truly emphisize LUDLUM) character, Bourne, I cannot say that this novel was enjoyable.
Bourne as a character is NOT the sissy that Lustbader has turned him in to.
Another pathetic attempt.
THe Ludlum estate ought to sue.¤

6) Mass Market Paperback Book Robert Ludlum's (TM) The Bourne Betrayal by Vision. Already devastated by loss, Bourne is shattered by a report that his last friend in the world, Martin Lindros, has gone missing. A CI deputy director, Lindros was in Ethiopia tracking suspicious shipments of yellowcake uranium and atomic bomb weaponry. His last lifeline to humanity, Bourne will not let Lindros go. Despite his hatred for CI, Bourne sets out to rescue his friend and finish the job: dismantling a terrorist network determined to build nuclear armaments by cutting off their source of money. But Bourne doesn´t realize that these men, Islamic supremacists, are leaders of an incredibly dangerous, technologically savvy group with ties from Africa, across the Middle East, and into Eastern Europe and Russia. They have predicted Bourne´s every move, and are counting on his unwitting help in their plans to destroy America.¤
