The Bourne Dominion by Eric Van Lustbader


The Bourne Dominion by Eric Van Lustbader
Based on Robert Ludlum's character

Synopsis
Jason Bourne is searching for an elusive cadre of terrorists planning to destroy America's most strategic natural resources - and needs the help of his longtime friend, General Boris Karpov. Karpov, the newly appointed head of Russia's most feared spy agency, FSB-2, is one of the most determined, honorable, and justice-hungry men that Bourne knows. But Karpov has made a deal with the devil. In order to remain the head of FSB-2, he must hunt down and kill Bourne.


Now, these two trusted ƒяιєη∂ are on a deadly collision course. From the Columbian highlands to Munich, Cadiz, and Damascus, the clock is counting down to a disaster that will cripple America's economic and military future. Only Bourne and Karpov have a chance to avert the catastrophe - but if they destroy each other first, that chance will be gone forever.

I say...
I Ŀ♡√Ɛ Bourne, either by Robert or Eric, cos they don't play with words. They hit us directly with fast pace action right from the first few pages. And afterward, you would not want to put down the book. The pace was so fast that if you blink...you will miss several things 【ツ】ƗƗє²² ƗƗє²² ƗƗє²²【ツ】


But I hates the names ugghhh...I've never been good with names and faces ‎​(>_<、) pheω...‎​(・ω・`メ)(-ω-`メ) and the book has a long list of it. I hated the way Eric mixed the dream with reality without clear border too.
The plot is so twisting, you would hardly guess what will happen next...who is the bad guy...who is not. Friend becomes foe and vice versa, which Bourne worked hand in hand with his old-time-enemy.

The least that I expected was the death of Amun, he was the perfect partner for Soraya...too bad. But Aaron was nice too 【ツ】ƗƗє²² ƗƗє²² ƗƗє²²【ツ】 Ok, basically too many good people died in this book. Is it the last sequel of Jason, for the author to 'kill' lots of important figures in this Jason Bourne series. Eric played with the plots so beautifully that you wouldn't notice that the bright ones had changed its side.

It was the great ending of the book when all curtains were lifted, all disguises were uncovered. But even then, it wasn't mean that all truth were being unfold.

See ya on another Bourne series (I'm reading The Bourne Legacy right now which is totaly different with the movie)
