Product Description
Facing down mercenaries in Africa, Jason Bourne witnesses the death of an art dealer named Tracy Atherton. Her killing dredges up snatches of Bourne's impaired memory, in particular the murder of a young woman on Bali who entrusted him with a strangely engraved ring-an artifact of such powerful significance that people have killed to obtain it. Now he's determined to find the ring's owner and purpose. But Bourne never knows what terrible acts he'll discover he committed when he digs into the past. The trail will lead him through layers of conspiracy to a vicious Russian mercenary, Leonid Arkadin, who was also a graduate of the Central Intelligence training program Treadstone. A covert course designed to create ruthless assassins for C.I., it was shuttered by Congress for corruption. Yet before it was dismantled, it produced Bourne and Arkadin, giving them equal skills, equal force, and equal cunning. As Bourne's destiny circles closer to Arkadin's, it becomes clear that the eventual collision of these men is not of their own making. Someone else has been watching and manipulating them. Someone who wants to know, Who is the more deadly agent?

Good Plot and Excellent Action Sequences--One of the Better New Bournes,
By Donald Mitchell "Jesus Loves You!" (Thanks for Providing My Reviews over 112,000 Helpful Votes Globally) - See all my reviews (TOP 10 REVIEWER) (#1 HALL OF FAME)
This review is from: Robert Ludlum's (TM) The Bourne Objective (Hardcover)
"And he did evil, because he did not prepare his heart to seek the LORD." -- 2 Chronicles 12:14 (NKJV)Jason Bourne (aka David Webb) still can't remember very much as the book opens, but flashbacks help direct his steps anyway. More evil characters than you can shake a stick at are aiming at using or stopping Bourne to accomplish some power- or wealth-enhancing ploy. The more interesting parts of the character development show contrasts between highly trained operatives Bourne and Arkady as the two circle one another. How will the potential for violence between them be resolved? The book connects deeply into earlier plots. I would discourage anyone from starting their reading of the post-Ludlum Bourne books with this one. I thought that the book's ending was one of the more satisfying ones in the New Bournes. The best parts of the book for me were the action sequences. Mr. Lustbader does those well. I could easily imagine them occurring in front of me, and the fine action descriptions helped bring the book to life for me. The book's biggest weakness is that many of the villains don't seem to be real. They feel more like paper targets in a target range waiting for someone to score bulls-eyes on them. Arkady is the exception. His history and menace come across quite effectively.

Just average,
This review is from: Robert Ludlum's (TM) The Bourne Objective (Mass Market Paperback)
The Bourne Objective comes off as a just average thriller. The story is rather disjointed and contains little of the supposed main charactor, Jason Bourne. Not one of the better efforts.
2.0 out of 5 stars
Bourne or Indy,
This review is from: Robert Ludlum's (TM) The Bourne Objective (Hardcover)
I have not read any of Robert Ludlums, Jason Bourne novels and I know the movies arent true to his novels. I was very happy to seeanother writer has taken over and I have read all of EVLs Bourne novels. Objective is by far the worst, I found in this one EVL turned Jason Bourne into more of Indiana Jones with the story of the ring. Hope he doesnt continue to go down this road with the Jason Bourne character in his next novels.
