The Bourne Sanction (Robert Ludlum's) by Eric Van Lustbader

Synopsis :

Jason Bourne needs to regain his life as David Webb so he accepts an invitation from his beloved mentor, Dominic Specter, to join the linguistics department at Georgetown. It's a relief to leave the Bourne identity behind, but Jason soon finds himself in a life-or-death confrontation where every move might be his last.

Specter tells him that a former student and son of his old friend was killed by Muslim extremists known as the Eastern Brotherhood. Their leader is a man named Semian Icoupov, and he must be stopped because his next terrorist target is believed to be right here in America.

While Jason is busy pursuing Icoupov in Russia, he's become a target himself. Inside CI, a battle is brewing for control over the agency. In order to show the incompetence of its current director, two Pentagon operatives plan to accomplish what CI never could--hunt Bourne down and destroy him.

I have  disappeared for quite a while, haven't I?  While, I have been faithful in my reading, the consistency is not really there as I have a lot of other stuff to do as well.  So, am trying my very best to get into the mode again....

Anyway, The Bourne Sanction....am not really a fan of the Bourne Series, whether books or movies.  I have watched a couple of the movies but the story wasn't appealing to me. Such, I have never read any of the titles in this Series whether written by Robert Ludlum or Eric Van Lustbader.

The Borne Sanction, although is number six in the series is my introduction to this series.  Surprising, it was a rather nice read.  It's both thrilling and the pace of the book is quite well paced.

Even though I have not read any of the other titles, it wasn't difficult to understand the storyflow. Basically, it can just be a stand alone story on it's own.

I read it because I bought this from a friend and I want to get my moneys worth although I wasn't very keen on it.  Anyway, it was quite worth what I paid for it.  However,  with the number of other titles that I have and that I have interest in as well as a number of non reading activities that need my attention,  this series would certainly not take priority.
