From Publishers Weekly
In Lustbader's workmanlike second novel to continue the saga of Robert Ludlum's amnesiac assassin and spy (after 2004's The Bourne Legacy), Jason Bourne joins the war on terror. Troubled by visions of a woman dying in his arms, Bourne seeks psychiatric help, unaware that the doctor is an imposter who has tampered with the rogue agent's already messy and incomplete memories. That mental sabotage is part of a diabolical plan by Islamic terrorists to strike at Washington, D.C., led by Karim, a human chameleon who has fooled the CIA—and Bourne—into believing that he's actually deputy CIA director Martin Lindros. Aided by an attractive fellow agent who manages to overcome her distrust of Bourne, he races the clock to uncover the traitor within the intelligence community. Lustbader is less successful than Ludlum in dramatizing Bourne's inner torment—a feature that distinguished the character from many similar thriller heroes. (June)

When Jason Bourne, now considered a rogue agent, seeks psychiatric help for troubling dreams, he doesnt know hes meeting with a doctor who intends to tamper with his muddled memories. Bourne doesnt realize the psychiatrist is an impersonator, part of a clever sabotage by Islamic extremists to strike at the heart of America. Jeremy Davidson captures the thrillers suspense and action, but not until the second half of the book. The plot builds slowly, with too many irrelevant details, but its worth sticking with because of Davidsons narration. His delivery and adept pacing of the second half animate the accelerating story to produce a satisfying finish. G.D.W. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
