Robert Ludlum's (TM) The Bourne Dominion

De: Robert Ludlum, Eric Van Lustbader

Narrado por: Jeremy Davidson

New York Times best-selling author Eric Van Lustbader presents a new story about the rogue secret agent who has lost his memory created by internationally best-selling novelist Robert Ludlum.

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 friends are on a deadly collision course. From the Colombian 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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Lustbader is an excellent storyteller and is not afraid to keep the twists and turns coming in this sequel...This is an explosive addition to a series with an unrivaled heritage and storied pedigree." (Bookreporter.com on The Bourne Betrayal)

"Don't ever begin a Ludlum novel if you have to go to work the next day." (Chicago Sun Times)

"As twisted, dark and exciting as the others." (The Oklahoman on The Bourne Sanction)

"Reading a Ludlum novel is like watching a James Bond film...slickly paced...all-consuming." (Entertainment Weekly)

Decent Bourne story, skip the background music

This is your typical Jason Bourne story, lots of action and overblown description, but fun. The background music did nothing for the story and, in fact, detracted significantly from it. I will try to ascertain whether such interference is present before I buy any other books.

Average at best..

Well I can say that this is better than the last few Van Lustbader offerings in the Bourne series. At least he has gotten rid of the silly magic/supernatural aspect of the last few novels. Even so the story is over complicated, sometimes hard to follow and other times way too predictable. Certainly not worthy of the spirit of the the first 3 books by Ludlam himself.

Another Bourne Success!!

Van Lustbader has continued the Bourne series with amazing ability. This is another thrilling adventure that you won't be able to put down.

TM - never forget.

Would you try another book from Robert Ludlum and Eric Van Lustbader and/or Jeremy Davidson?

Absolutely. Even though these books often miss the mark in terms of reading like a Ludlum novel, a lot of cool stuff comes from just the attempt.

Has Robert Ludlum's (TM) The Bourne Dominion turned you off from other books in this genre?

No way.

What about Jeremy Davidson’s performance did you like?

I can appreciate the decisions he made that kept the character consistent. It has to be hard to keep the character feeling the same from book to book with different narrators.

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

These questions really have to go.

Any additional comments?

If you have committed to the Bourne character then i don't really know how you can pas son this. It's not the best but its one of the closer to real ones out there.

A wonderful listening experience.

Really enjoyed it, I'm now hooked and off to the next in the series. Twists and turns

You still get your fix

story was a bit thin compared to previous works, but laid groundwork for next few books (I assume).

Not the same Bourne

Dialogue was over the top with an adjective salad.
Characters were hard to follow. The narration did not help to give life to the characters.

great read

loved it.....great narration and the music gives these books an extra edge. love the Bourne series! ! !

One of Ludlum best.

Another brilliantly written novel. Ludlum at his best. Action scenes that allow your imagination to run wild.

Needs to lose the background sounds from the read.

The story was good. The narrator reads the book well. But that background music is just too much and needs to be removed. I would have given 5 stars without the background stuff.,
