Freeman...has a firm handle on what makes a Bourne novel tick, and then some ... The action and intricate spy games are expertly executed by Freeman, and you will have trouble trying to stay ahead of the fast-moving plot. It’s better to just buckle up and let him take you on an unforgettable ride ... a non-stop thrill ride that satisfies on every level and will leave you wanting more.
Freeman...is an excellent storyteller, and a fine writer. His two Bourne novels—and we hope there will be more—take a much-loved character and breathe new life into him, giving him new energy and a renewed purpose. Fans of Ludlum’s iconic character will definitely want to read this.
Freeman supplies plenty of exciting fight scenes and plot twists, but his convincing use of Bourne’s fraught backstory is what distinguishes this entry. Series fans will look forward to more contributions to the Bourne franchise from this talented author.
This is a tightly plotted, complex yarn with the fast pace that will keep readers flipping the pages. Never mind that it’s formulaic; readers won’t care. Of course Bourne will never recall his past. Of course he’ll face mortal combat with an evil equal. And of course a beautiful, strong, intelligent woman will enter his life, but she won’t change it. The man’s a good guy, but he’s also a killer. This may wind up on the big screen, but don’t wait for the movie. It’s a fun read.
