A review by amritesh
The Bourne Sanction by Eric Van Lustbader
4.0
That was when he saw the blood leaking from Baronov's throat. At the same instant a wire whipped around his neck, digging into his windpipe.
Finally!! I finished this trilogy. This was one of the earliest books I'd bought, and after reading the first book of this trilogy, I didn't get back to it until now.
This is the third book in the Bourne series by Eric Van Lustbader, the sixth book overall if we include the original trilogy.
Arkadin gave the only sensible answer. He said yes, and so entered the ninth level of hell.
While it's not that great a book (or series for that matter) when compared to the original trilogy by Ludlum, the book kept me hooked throughout.
And sometimes that's more than enough.
I like the way Lustbader writes, neither too literary so that you start diving in its literary depths and leave the plot behind, nor too contemporary.
The book is filled with theatrical gestures, and sudden shocks and surprised and twists, as Bourne tries to stop a terrorist attack, while also facing off his enemy, someone as damaged and brilliant as himself.
A minute was made up of a thousand seconds, an hour consisted of ten thousand minutes, and a day - well, there were simply too many hours in a day to count.
The book primarily takes place in two countries: Russia and Germany. And it's quite interesting, the way Lustbader explores the cities, still shaking off the effects that the wars and revolutions had left in their aftermath their cultures, their locations etc.
