The 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!

As I turned the corner and looked behind me, I sensed someone’s presence!

Oh! OK! It’s just my Mom!

I remember playing as a spy when visiting the downtown area as a young man! Man! This spy stuff is fun!

We have all as reading or playing been in that mode where our senses are heightened, our “world” seems foreign, and our friends could have infiltrated our group!

Little did I know that “Dr. No and From Russia With Love” would so much influence my adult reading life!

Daniel Silva captures the essence of the spy game with every book he writes about Gabriel Allon.

In “The English Assassin“, Gabriel heads to Zurich to restore a painting for millionaire banker, Augustus Rolfe.

Or is he?

Gabriel goes in and finds the banker dead and is arrested for the “murder.”

Herr Peterson, the head of the police department, knows the real truth and finally through government negotiations, Allon is released.

Anna Rolfe, daughter of the dead banker, has to find out what really happened to her estranged father. Gabriel is sent to help.

They are both drawn into an underground world of political power, stolen art, a suicide, and a “hit” is put out on Anna!

You know these types of novels just never get old!
