Jason Bourne era el espía perfecto, una máquina entrenada para acabar sin el menor pestañeo con quien se interpusiera en su camino, pero tras esa fachada se escondía un hombre que había perdido la memoria y la identidad. Tras recuperarlas, David Webb intenta llevar una vida común y corriente como profesor de Lingüística en la Universidad de Georgetown. Hasta que una mañana, mientras atraviesa el campus caminando, una bala pasa zumbando junto a su cabeza y Bourne se ve obligado a tomar de nuevo las riendas de su personalidad.
Pero los problemas no han hecho más que comenzar. Alex Conklin, su antiguo jefe en la CIA, y Mo Panov, el psicólogo que le ayudó a recobrar la normalidad, han sido ejecutados, lo que convierte a Webb en el principal sospechoso del crimen. Objeto de una nueva caza del hombre, el ex agente deberá enfrentarse además a Khan, un asesino a sueldo tan silencioso y mortal como el propio Bourne en sus mejores días.

Loved the story of Bourne and his son. The action scenes were well-tailored to match each other's strengths. ( )

Bourne is in trouble again and a criminal being chased the world over because he was set up for something he didn't do. A good novel with a storyline addition that throws you for a loop. Decent read, keeps you hanging, not over the top exciting but enough to keep you interested.. ( )

Action packed tale of murder and suspense. ( )

Second reading did not alter much in my opinion. Same feeling about the intensity of the writing: Van Lustbader's Bourne is not the same character as Ludlum's was.
Somehow it is strange that I like the writing and the plotting in this sequel not so much, because I also read other books by his hand and they were okay, or even good. What I found strange is, that the Bourne from the trilogy started to feel his age and in this book Bourne was young again. He also didn't care a s much for his family as the old Bourne and, instead of living somwhere with thm, he was on the run again. Hmmm....

Somehow, while reading this book, I couldn't help feeling that is wasn't the same as the first three parts. To me it didn't have the same intensity, the same thing that made me believe the story. Maybe my expectations were too high, maybe if you regard it as a stand alone book instead of sequel to Ludlum's Jason Bourne, then the reading would be better. ( )
