Format:Hardcover
Feels like a lazy repeat, the plotting is predictable, every turn is a betrayal, again & again & again. More twists don't make for an interesting read. Must have been written to a schedule, planned by analysts with "more is better" as their only criteria. Dull.

I loved Ludlum's original Bourne series and while this is not quite there, Lustbader keeps the pace going. While you can guess what turns and twist are coming, it's an ideal book for a couple of days escapism following Bourne working with an old enemy trying to get the better of a brutal rogue FSB agent. While some of the action is a bit far fetched, I kept saying this is escapism, fiction, not reality. If you like your thrillers fast paced and full of action this will work for you. If you like your thrillers more authentic then pass on it.

"Those also who seek my life lay snares for me;
Those who seek my hurt speak of destruction,
And plan deception all the day long." -- Psalm 38:12 (NKJV)
In The Bourne Dominion, Jason Bourne, the world's best-loved, amnesia-plagued assassin once again shows himself to be a rarity in the secret world, someone who can be trusted to do the right thing. If you miss having Jason Bourne in the middle of the killing fields, The Bourne Dominion provides some entertaining action and plot twists revolving around the themes of identity and trust. Be warned that the main story starts slowly and is deceptive in its apparent predictability. The pace and your interest will pick up quite a bit around the middle and will be well sustained by the end.
Author Eric Van Lustbader does a fine job of allowing Jason Bourne to notice what everyone else misses . . . and to take appropriate action at the right time. It's the book's most appealing feature to me. Almost as good are the ways that combatants are able to escape seemingly impossible situations in ways that don't stretch credibility too far.
The book has several story lines with changing narrators, which helps to keep the overall plot picture balanced. It's also a nice way to add some thrills by leaving key characters in cliffhanging situations.
Mr. Lustbader's weakness is that he doesn't get inside of Bourne's psyche in the ways that would make the book come alive and be more intriguing. Perhaps that aspect of his writing will improve in future books.

Typical Bourne Book
Another enjoyable read, up to the usual Bourne standard. Once you have started reading it is difficult to put down.

Like other readers I bought this book believing it would be comparable to the Ludlum Bourne books but ended up with a clumsy, twisting, inaccurate pile of junk. Read more

Cracking read!
I'm a fan of Lustbader and Ludlum anyway. This story really moves along at a fast pace. Who is friend and who is foe?
Action packed! Looking forward to the next installment.
