No wonder, the movie people chose not to use Eric Van Lustbader's plot. It's nice to be reassured that Hollywood people are considering the IQ of their target moviegoers. Something that cannot be said for Lustbader and his target readers. If you are a fan of the original Jason Bourne book Trilogy written by Robert Ludlum, then you know that the movies are a very loose representation of the story.
That isn't a negative comment. When you take a book that is probably hours worth of reading and condense it into a 2 hour movie, changes will be have to be made. The reason I'm pointing this out is because the Bourne books that are written by Eric Van Lustbader are more in line with the movie trilogy than the original book trilogy by Ludlum. For example, the book trilogy includes a wife and kids that are never part of the movies.
The book trilogy lets Bourne have trusted friends, while the movie shows him as a total loner except for a girlfriend who dies. The final book in the original trilogy has Bourne experience aches and pains due to age because he lacks the physical prowess of his younger years. Obviously the movie has a verile Matt Damon as the undefeatable Bourne.
Do you recall Pam from the movies? She is the agent who helps him in the end, and she doesn't even exist in the books. I think these things are important to note, because if you are a fan of the movie trilogy, then Lustbaders writing will probably feel more familiar to the characters you are used to.
I think movie fans will enjoy this book. In fact, I think this book would make a great 4th movie in the series. I could picture the movie in my mind while I read the book. I liked it a lot.
I like the original Bourne books by Ludlum also, but I almost consider them a completely different series. Sure the names are the same, but that is just about the only similarity. If you were expecting this book to read like Ludlum, it does not. The authors are different people with different styles of writing. I think you are better off not comparing the two.
If you can get past that part, then you might really enjoy this book. It is an exciting spy drama all on it's own. The fourth Bourne novel, but the first without Robert Ludlum at the helm.
Sadly it shows, and Eric Van Lustbader 's inexperience shines through. Inexperience, or possibly pressure from the publishers to get the book out there. Lustbader seems to feel nervous in the early parts of the novel and falls back on some overly purple-prose and alliterative-adjectives to cover up the lack of action.
Instead these become a huge distraction themselves. Once the story kicks in the 'style' becomes much less obvious and Lustbader seems to find a pace he feels more comfortable with. For no apparent reason Jason Bourne, as David Webb, is targeted for assassination by Khan an uber-assassin who also believes he is Bourne's long-dead son.
However both Khan and Bourne are being played against each other by a shadowy, power-hungry, figure — Spalko — who is pulling their and other people's strings for his own, unknown, purposes.
They are led a merry chase from the US to France, to Hungary and then on to Iceland for the well-telegraphed anti-terrorism summit. While the story is exciting, and you're always rooting for Bourne and at some points for Khan too , the story between Bourne and Khan is almost totally unconnected to the story with Spalko and the Icelandic summit. He would almost certainly have stood more chance of success if he'd not tried to get Bourne involved at all.
Bourne would have stayed at home mourning the deaths of his friends, but that would have been it. After four novels of the series, we're all pretty aware that Bourne is a super-spy. His training from Conklin in Vietnam made him the best in the world.
Yet, repeatedly, Khan is able to follow him without Bourne noticing. Khan is able to 'guess' the direction Bourne has taken. And all to often, Khan manages to get to where Bourne is going before Bourne does. Pretty impressive when you're following someone. Here is the simplest way convenient it can be it are not able to pick up all much simpler as opposed to which usually. A trip on your slaty get this tall flick computer, galore would advise u.
