Robert Ludlum's (TM) The Bourne Imperative

By: Eric Van Lustbader

Narrated by: Holter Graham

From a New York Times bestselling author, secret agent Jason Bourne can't help but feel connected to a man who also has amnesia—and the truth behind his identity could save Bourne's life.

The man Jason Bourne fishes out of the freezing sea is near death. He awakens with no memory of who he is or why he was shot. Then Bourne discovers that the Mossad agent named Rebeka is so determined to find this injured man that she has gone off the grid, and is now being stalked by Mossad's most feared killer.

Do the answers to these mysteries lie in southeast Lebanon, in a secret encampment to which Bourne and Rebeka escaped following a firefight weeks ago?

The complex trail links to the mission given to Treadstone directors Peter Marks and Soraya Moore: find the semi-mythic terrorist assassin known as Nicodemo.

In the course of Bourne's desperate, deadly search for a secret that will alter the future of the entire world, he will experience both triumph and loss—and his life will never be the same.

Thriller

I enjoyed the suspense and drama as Born survived the numerous plots to kill him.

good story

Story, characters great
F bombs not necessary. Jason Bourne stories are so hard to put down but I don't see the necessity for the foul language. They weren't like that in the beginning of the series.

Not up to the Bourne standard

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Story move slowly and did not have the typical Bourne aggressive storyline. While Bourne is part of the plot line, he is not the primary character. This was a little disappointing.

Would you ever listen to anything by Eric Van Lustbader again?

I would give him another try. His other books (Bourne and other stories) were entertaining.

Did Holter Graham do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

Mr. Graham did fine. His voice inflection allowed you to imagine the different characters.

Could you see Robert Ludlum's (TM) The Bourne Imperative being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

This book, as written, would not make a strong movie or TV series. However, since Hollywood has already deviated from the Bourne story line, they could take the premise of the story and script it for the screen.

I'm a little disappointed in this book.

this book was a little dull and slow compared to all other books in this series. It's still a decent book but I would give it a six out of ten just because of how slow it is.

Complex but fun

This book continues the Bourne series with another complex set of characters and plot twists which make for a very enjoyable listen.
