The Bourne Betrayal | Book Review

Novel by Eric Van Lustbader and Robert Ludlum

I like all Robert Ludlum’s novels including those which are written by Evan Lastbadder. To me his novels have taken fiction to the next level. During my way back to Hyderabad from my last summer trip to hometown I bought paperback version of “The Bourne Betryal”. This novel was full of Lastbadder’s style of writing than Robert Ludlum’s one.  I took almost 6 months to complete it. This novel has something different to offer actually. Plot is exciting but the story is not very accelerating. Jason bourn and Martin Lindros, When martin Lindros decided to come back in the field operations with the aim to destroy Fadi and When Martin is out the track , Jason is the only help possible in the situation. Story takes you through various struggle of Jason to bring Martin back home. There are few things where author has not even paid any attention for example how does an ordinary Pakistani Waiter will have that much of information  


Towards the end you may enjoy it. To me it felt like author spent too much of time on the first half of the novel never the less  protagonist Jason bourn has lived up to the expectation but there are too many side characters and at times almost difficult to keep yourself in sync with rest of the twist and turns of the story. The character who was portrayed like an alter ego of Jason which didn’t in any way reflected later in the story. He was beaten like anything and there were no sign on presence of mind and intelligence from his part.  Still i would rate this 8 out of 10. Just want to make one thing clear that I am not comparing this novel with any other novel out there  in the market, comparison of Robert Ludlum’s Novel suits only with Novels of same series. If you are planning for the long trip just take this book and have fun.
