Representaion Toward Books The Bourne Objective (Jason Bourne #8)
After Bourne is ambushed and nearly killed while in Indonesia, he fakes his death to take on a new identity and mission- to find out who is trying to assassinate him. In the process, Bourne begins to question who he really is and what he would become if he no longer carried the Bourne identity. Across the globe, an American passenger airliner is shot down over Egypt-apparently by an Iranian missile-leaving the world wondering if it was an accident or an act of aggression. A massive global team lead by Soraya Moore is assembled to investigate the attack before the situation escalates.When Bourne's search for his would-be assassin intersects with Soraya's search for the group behind the airplane bombing, Bourne is thrust into a race to prevent a new world war. But it may already be too late.

Jason Bourne is forced into yet another mission in which everyone knows more than he does, and everything is done by the seat of his pants. It is so formulaic that it's almost impossible to enjoy it.First thing with this book is that you need to remember that it is not Robert Ludlum writing it (my mistake also) and it's Eric Van Lustbader. EvL is not Ludlum and never will be. It's a brave person stepping in to the shoes of Ludlum and putting yourself out there in the firing line given the die-hard fans that exist already for Jason Bourne. So once you have understood and convinced yourself that it is not Robert Ludlum writing this novel, then your enjoyment increases significantly.Jason
The book starts, "Night descended like a curtain of scuttling insects, coming alive with the setting of the sun. The noise was atrocious, as was the stench of unwashed bodies, human excrement, rotting food, and decomposing bodies. The garbage of Bangalore shifted back and forth like a sludgy tide...."And while it does get better, it doesn't get much better. We face a character list out of Tolstoy, baal worship, secret societies, lesbianism, King Solomon's gold and transmutation. Yes,

Eric van Lustbader is not a writer. A writer would use words appropriately. In the first few pages of The Bourne Objective, van Lustbader uses logarithm when he means algorithm, twice (at least), and he uses precipitously when he means either vertically or perpendicularly.Pellet-sized ultrasonic screamers that paralyze large rooms of people, files locked using "logarithms", burner cellphones a "local call" then one using a 10-digit number, laptop computers with ejectable drives and netbooks that
This is my first (and last) attempt to read a Lustbader Bourne book.
An odd end to the Arkadin trilogy. After two years between The Bourne Sanction and The Bourne Objective, but a matter of months to this third one, it feels a little rushed. A slight side step into pseudo-religion and mysticism leaves you wondering if this is the same Bourne that we're used to.
This was a good read. An exciting book in which a lot of old characters turned up again in one form or another. I think this one was better that (some of the) previous Bourne novels Van Lustbader wrote. It will be interesting to learn how the story continues after the end of this book.
