The Bourne Ascendancy by Eric Van Lustbader
5.0
Eric Van Lustbader has done it. He has taken Robert Ludlum's Jason Bourne and made Jason his own...FINALLY. I love the new direction that Bourne has gone.
The Bourne Retribution and Bourne Ascendancy are not the Bourne Trilogy. BUT, that is OK. After the uncomfortable transition of the Bourne character during the middle Bourne books (Deception, Objective, Dominion, Imperative) Mr. Van Lustbader has realized that the Bourne books will go where he takes them and I am glad he is taking them where he is.
I still get the Ludlum character development and plot twists/angles but Retribution and Ascendency have been written in a way that no longer seems as if the author is writing in someone else's shadow.
I cannot wait for the next installment.
