Bourne Betrayal Book Review

Jason Bourne has quickly become one of the most well known literary characters in the world through the work of Robert Ludlum and the theatrical adaptations starring Matt Damon. Although the movies changed the plot significantly, the books have been revived with the approval of the Ludlum estate, Eric Van Lustbader has published three follow up books with another on the way for the summer of 2010.The Bourne Betrayal is the second of Lustbader's Bourne novels and it finds Bourne fighting against perhaps the most intelligent terrorist network he has yet to encounter. In a series of complex plans the network attempts to use Bourne against the United States by implanting false or misleading memories into his brain, kidnapping the Director of Central Intelligence and then after a long series of actions, replacing the Director with one of their own men whom has gone under extensive plastic surgery to look just like the real man.Although writing this short review makes me think that
no one could ever follow along with such a convoluted, unpractical story line each and every step of the story seems plausible while you're reading.While this book isn't likely to end up on anyone's best novel of all time lists it does give an enjoyable read with an element of science fiction with the transformation of the appearance of one of the terrorist leaders. It's a fun summer read and for someone whom enjoys the Jason Bourne series of novels and perhaps most importantly provides a good bridge into the next few Bourne books which have been written by Lustbader.
