ROBERT LUDLUM'S (TM)
THE BOURNE OBJECTIVE
BY ERIC VAN LUSTBADER
Facing down mercenaries in Africa, Jason Bourne witnesses the death of an art dealer named Tracy Atherton. Her killing dredges up snatches of Bourne’s impaired memory, in particular the murder of a young woman on Bali who entrusted him with a strangely engraved ring—an artifact of such powerful significance that people have killed to obtain it. Now he’s determined to find the ring’s owner and purpose. But Bourne never knows what terrible acts he’ll discover he committed when he digs into the past.
The trail will lead him through layers of conspiracy to a vicious Russian mercenary, Leonid Arkadin, who was also a graduate of the Central Intelligence training program Treadstone. A covert course designed to create ruthless assassins for C.I., it was shuttered by Congress for corruption. Yet before it was dismantled, it produced Bourne and Arkadin, giving them equal skills, equal force, and equal cunning.
As Bourne’s destiny circles closer to Arkadin’s, it becomes clear that the eventual collision of these men is not of their own making. Someone else has been watching and manipulating them. Someone who wants to know, Who is the more deadly agent?
Robert Ludlum’s legendary agent Jason Bourne is the protagonist of seven novels as well as three blockbuster movies starring Matt Damon. In Eric Van Lustbader’s latest Bourne book, the rogue spy, still struggling with his fragmented memory, realizes he cannot move forward until he has exposed and confronted his own violent past.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:Eric Van Lustbader is the author of more than twenty-five best-selling novels, including The Ninja, a New York Times bestseller for 24 weeks, in which he introduced Nicholas Linnear, one of modern fictions most beloved and enduring heroes. His New York Times bestselling novel, The Testament, was published in September, 2006 and in paperback in August, 2007.
His novels have been translated into over twenty languages; his books are best-sellers worldwide and are so popular whole sections of bookstores from Bangkok to Dublin are devoted to them. The Ninja was sold to 20th Century-Fox. It is now in pre-production.

Before turning to writing full time, he enjoyed highly successful careers in the New York City public school system, where he holds licenses in both elementary and early childhood education, and in the music business. He is a second-level Reiki master.

I loved The Bourne books by Robert Ludlum and with his passing I was quite sad. But when I learned that The Bourne series would continue I was elated. I'm hoping that Jason Bourne will regain his full memory...but then would that end the series???

Sounds like an exciting book that my husband and I would both like to read...have read others in the series and have enjoyed them.

Someone has been watching and manipulating them. Someone who wants to know, Who is the more deadly agent. Wow that sounds exciting

I love Jason Bourne. The Bali connection and the ring are intriguing, as are the questions about his Russian acquaintance. It sounds like there is lots of action again which I love. This all makes me want to read this book.

I have read The Ninja as well as the books he wrote previous to that. I have read at least five of E. Lustbader's books after the Ninja. The Miko, Jian and The White Ninja I enjoyed in particular.
I would love to read Last Snow.cardshark42(at)hotmail(dot)com
I would love to win this book as it sounds very captivating and I really enjoyed the movies.cardshark42(at)hotmail(dot)com
well if the his book is anything like the movies I'm sure I'll love to read it! jeff72768@yahoo.com
I'd like to start from the beginning with The Bourne Legacy. I wish these books came in paper back, because I carry my books in my lunch box to work and hardcovers don't fit. I do read at home but not as much as on lunch a work. guess I'llo save them for my vacation in July.

I enjoyed all of the Bourne Novels
I would like to read this as a follow up to the others
Interesting the Lustbader is a second level Reiki master. That just jumped out of me. Maybe I'm blanking out, but can't remember that he inserted Reiki into a book
I would like to read Last Snow. I missed that one when it came out. There is a familiarity with Moscow settings that comes from all the Cold War era thrillers.

I would like to know who has been watching and manipulating Bourne and Arkadin and why. The thought is that someone is trying to discover who is the more deadly of the two agents.
Thank you,

I would like to read First Daughter as it says that it captures your attention from the opening scene and doesn't stop until the very last page. Plus, the sentence "Goodby, sleep; hello, First Daughter" has me wondering as to what it means.
