The Bourne Objective – Eric Van Lustbader

the bourne objectiveThe clone foe for Jason Bourne…

Leonid Arkadin born Russian, trained by Treadstone is a renegade killer or is he…

Thinking what else could there be, author Lustbader proceeded to continue the chase between Leonid and Jason from the previous novel, The Bourne Deception.

Exceptional is the best word I can describe this riveting novel.

Severus Domna, a secret organization bent on world domination, has Jason squarely in their sights wanting to recover from him a gold ring with a secret encryption that unlocks a secret file in a laptop computer.

This file gives the location of King Solomon’s legendary gold.

The Treadstone people are supposedly gone, but resurrection comes through Frederick Willard and they are out to get Bourne again.

This frightful journey takes us around the world as usual but ends up in Tineghir. Where?

A different kind of end as Jason and Leonid sort of help each other battle Severus Domna.

Eighth in this series of Bourne novels can be now found on the bargain tables at the bookstores. Get a copy!

 

The Bancroft Strategy – Oldie but Goodie

This is kind of creepy…

You see this novel came out after the author, Robert Ludlum, had died.

A ghost writer… no, just plenty of pre-written material.

Anyway, a typical Ludlum novel, full of twists and turns.

Have you ever thought about a secret society ridding the world of supposed “bad guys?”

Eliminating those who might harm the greater good?

But what if that “fictional” society met its nemesis? Named Genesis.

A real controller, who could get things done in an instant, as he or she as the case may be, strikes fear in the hearts of the The Bancroft Foundation.

Andrea Bancroft has just been notified as to her joining the much revered Bancroft Foundation due to an opening. Her salary, $12,000,000 a year. What? She is stunned! But, something is stinky…

The financials at the foundation are not quite right Andrea surmises and she now knows she must find some answers.

Todd Belknap is a “secret agent” type who has been affected by the undercover operations of the Bancroft Foundation.

Andrea and Todd cross paths on their way to discovering some deep dark secrets about the foundation.

While this is no Bourne novel, the writer, whomever that is, did a really good job of making things very intriguing!

I highly recommend “The Bancroft Strategy”  and you can get a copy here!

The Testament – Eric Van Lustbader

Posted by admin | Great Fiction | Saturday 5 February 2011 15:03

Who is the Order of Gnostic Observatines? Do you know?

Braverman Shaw didn’t know either till his father was killed in a suspicious explosion.

Dexter Shaw was the Keeper of The Testament. What?

What Testament?

The Testament.

Christ’s long-thought-lost words that could shake the foundation of Christianity!

Why now is Bravo (Braverman Shaw) involved?

Little did he realize his father had prepared him to be his chosen successor!
All those clue games Bravo used to play as a young man, the secret codes, the attention to detail, and the cloak-and-dagger wars led him to be the new Order leader.

A highly entertaining novel that somewhat “smelled” of a Da Vinci Code theme, but with many different characters and twists and turns.

The Testament is a religious conspiracy thriller that is fast paced and won’t let you put the book down!

I believe you will enjoy The Testament!

Now reading Critical by Robin Cook.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo – Stieg Larsson

Yes, I have now read this suspenseful novel!

I know. I know. This is not something new.

But, I didn’t realize my daughter had the book until she said “Here!”

A lot has been written about The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo!

Controversy has surrounded the book, the author, the movie, and the remake of the movie.

Lots and lots of readers say they cannot put the book down, but a lot of readers say the book is very slow.

I say a lot to learn about yourself when you read this brilliant novel!

We are most always not what we seem by our looks.

The same goes for Lisbeth Salander, a studded, tattooed, dark genius!

The same goes for Martin Vagner, a CEO, privileged family member, serial killer!

This story is about an old man’s love for his long missing niece and his finding out what happened to her forty years ago.

Henrik Vagner, the old millionaire uncle, hires Mikael Blomkvist, a financial journalist, to finally solve the decades old mystery of Harriet Vagner’s disappearance.

Little did Mikael know that the Vagner clan had such deep dark secrets!

Really enjoyed this read! You should too! Get “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” here!

The Secret Servant by Daniel Silva

Posted by admin | Great Fiction | Tuesday 29 June 2010 18:15

As we continue to live under the threat of terrorists, our ears are continually on the open for news or headlines about subversive actions all over the world.

Have our lives changed? Yes, I would everyone say to some degree.

The troubling thoughts and actions of so few affect and effect so many!

Have you ever thought if your child was kidnapped?

Will they come back to you alive?

Will Ambassador Halton’s daughter be used as trade bait?

Gabriel Allon refuses to give in or give up!

No one can locate Elizabeth Halton!

Why did they take her?

Oh, I failed to mention her father is a billionaire!

Seems as if money is indeed the same no matter where you are from!

Gabriel Allon vs. Jihadist extremists, who will get what they want?

The terrorists give their demands and the hunt starts.

To me this great Daniel Silva was in one word “deep”, full of insights into the minds of radical beliefs, life of a killer and his past life with his family, and some of the questions raised by our own government and their methods of dealing with terrorists.

Read the novel, “The Secret Servant!”
