NOT GOOD. After reading the Bourne Ascendancy (book 12 in the series and I have read all in the series) I thought Eric Van Lustbader had found a way to finally make the series his own, maybe I was mistaken. If this is where the series is headed, I may have to give up. I will give Mr. Van Lustbader one more attempt.
This book felt like Bourne turned into Alex Cross and was a detective instead of an assassin. Way, way, way too many shallow characters created and too many "oh I just read that wrong" moments but "it's totally clear now".
Maybe the part that topped it off for me? Bourne can't remember facts about one character (non spoiler) even though the character was a "best friend" but another character he can recall ALL the facts of their previous interactions? Well...which is it? Does Bourne have his amnesia effects still? Or only when convenient?
Again, I absolutely enjoy the Bourne series but Mr. Van Lustbader needs to get this figured out, give up the series to an author that can get it back on track, or end the series once and for all.

Lame. And he kept using the word latterly - I again remind myself why I don't read his writing.

I didn't like this one as much as some of the other. It kept me entertained in the hammock though.
