Read Books by Eric Van Lustbader

Book

The Bourne Objective (2010)

After picking this book 5 times in last 3 days and still being stuck on page 10, I give up...maybe this is a book for core action thrill lovers but it isn't for me...I would have read it for Ludlum whose few books I have enjoyed, but as soon as I realized by folly and found it to be posthumous wr...

Book

The Bourne Deception (2009)

This is the fourth novel by Eric Van Lustbader continuing the saga of Jason Bourne begun by Robert Ludlum. While each was a good story, they really did not live up to the standard that Ludlum set. As this adventure begins, Jason is resting up in Bali with his new girlfriend, Moira. At the conc...

Book

Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Objective (2000)

Readers were first introduced to Jason Bourne's nemesis Leonid Arkadin, a brilliant Russian assassin and fearless international mercenary, in The Bourne Sanction. His girlfriend was killed during a fight for which an enraged Arkadin blames Bourne. In The Bourne Deception, Arkadin hunted Bourne to...

Book

Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Deception (2010)

I know it is a formula but the writing in this book is a combination of lazy repeating of well-trodden paths and over illustrative writing. For example: "Bourne, his eyes half closed, was dreaming of another life--his life--but the images were dark and murky, as if seen through a projector with ...

Book

De Bourne misleiding (2009)

This book was a action thriller and I really liked it. The main theme of the book Is what Bourne finds out to be some kind of spider web linking everything each character does to the next character where in the end they are all brought together into one big battle (you’ll have to read to find out...

Book

The Bourne Sanction (2008)

book 6 of the bourne series The series is starting to get a bit repetitive , Bourne goes after the bad guys and his own side go after him . The plot is thin , you don't even found out about it till the last few chapters , only difference in this one is he has added a new love interest after killi...

Book

Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Dominion (2000)

What a relief that quite a few of the characters who had lingered too long in the last several stories were finally removed. It was really pleasant that Arkadin was left out of this story altogether. I will go ahead then and move on to The Bourne Objective with the hope that Arkadin will still no...

Book

Robert Ludlum's (TM) The Bourne Dominion (2011)

Robert Ludlum is a very well known writer, creating some of the best books to read on the market: The Bourne Series. To have Eric Van Lustbader take his position on the stories is in some cases a win, and some cases not so much. But, I gave my review two stars not because of this switch, but beca...

Book

El Dominio de Bourne (2014)

I love what Eric Van Lustbader is doing/has done in continuing Robert Ludlum’s Jason Bourne series of novels. Not least sticking to Ludlum’s idea that a book title should only have three words. ‘The' being counted as one of them. Check it out.And the good thing with these Bourne books, you get wh...

Book

The Bourne Dominion (2011)

Lustbader continues to aid in the destruction of the Bourne series with another installment of drivel and helps to further alienate what Ludlum set down as his legacy. I remain baffled how Ludlum’s estate could permit these novels to keep churning out with the great author of espionage’s name aff...

Book

The Bourne Imperative (2012)

Caution! Adverbs AheadThe idea was good. It could have been pretty scary. But there were so many characters, I felt I needed a score card to keep track of them. Every chapter shifted through all the various plot threads, and this drove me crazy. I kept hoping it would get better, but it just didn...

Book

Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Sanction (2010)

Jason Bourne returns to Georgetown University and the mild world of his alter ego, David Webb, hoping for normalcy. But after so many adrenaline-soaked years of risking his life, Bourne finds himself chafing under the quiet life of a linguistics professor. Aware of his frustrations, his academic...

Book

De Bourne sanctie (2009)

Cut my teeth on the Bourne trilogy 30 years ago. Reread them before the movies were released and fell in love with them again. I walked by the bargain bin at the bookstore and picked up The Bourne Sanction, Bourne Dominion, the Bourne Objective and a fourth Bourne book......unfortunately, I rea...

Book

Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Imperative (2012)

This was a fast paced book and will translate well into a movie but lacked many details I love about books which are feelings and thoughts and the intricacies of those in the face of the story. The Bourne character is seemingly much more at ease with himself in this story and the complexities of ...

Book

Robert Ludlum's (TM) The Bourne Imperative (2013)

Still a great series. Exciting, fast paced.The man Jason Bourne fishes out of the freezing sea is near death, half-drowned and bleeding profusely from a gunshot wound. He awakens with no memory of who he is or why he was shot-and Bourne is eerily reminded of his own amnesia. Then Bourne discovers...

Book

Robert Ludlum's the Bourne Imperative. by Eric Van Lustbader (2013)

I'm a huge fan of the Jason Bourne adventure series and as I've said before Eric Van Lustbader ( this is his 6th Bourne novel ) is carrying on for the deceased Robert Ludlum in grand style.I actually feel this book is worth 3.5 stars.Fast paced non stop action, adventure, globe trotting, suspense...

Book

First Daughter (2008)

I started reading Van Lustbader's Nicholas Linnear novels as a teenager and thoroughly enjoyed them. Over the years I read a few of his stand alone novels as well. So I was interested in checking out this series. Overall, I enjoyed the read. It was an intriguing novel with the expected twists...

Book

Robert Ludlum's (TM) The Bourne Retribution (2014)

As always, a well-written book to continue the Bourne series and tradition. In this book, Bourne is seeking Retribution for the death of the one he loved, Rebekah, who was killed in Mexico City. His friend, Eli Yadin, head of Israel's Mossad, learns that OOyang Jidan, a senior member of China's...

Book

Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Retribution (2014)

This the sequel to "the Bourne imperative". it begins with Bourne mourning the death of an Israeli operative and is spending time in Tel aviv next to Rebeka's burial ground. That is when the Mossad director Eli Yadin requests Jason to company another Mossad operative for a high profile meeting. I...

Book

De Bourne vergelding (2000)

Eric Van Lustbader was given the arduous task of continuing the legend of Robert Ludlum's indestructible amnesiac hero, Jason Bourne. I had given the Jason Bourne series a bit of a rest as there has been 7 Bourne adventures since Ludlum's passing-- with each thriller having the Van Lustbader intr...

Book

Last Snow. Eric Van Lustbader (2013)

It took me a little while to get used to van Lustbader's writing style--I've not read one of his books in quite a while--but after the first couple of chapters I settled in for the ride. And it was quite a ride.There's so much action in this book it can really rock you back on your heels--which i...

Book

Last Snow (2010)

The opening of the book is amazing! i wrote down the paragraph "Everything comes to an end..." So good! As we expect from the first book again a lot of drama around Jack and with all the women's trouble on his head he still goes and gets even more women's trouble...a true hero! An amazing way in ...

Book

Blood Trust (2011)

I listened to this as an audio book. It was very long, and there were so many strands that I found it quit a challenge to get to the end. There were couple of plot twists which were very surprising but not enough to really make me stay as engaged as I would have liked.There were also some very ...

Book

Second Skin (1995)

Lustbader's language is superb. I got really mesmerised with the prose.This is only my second pure-Lustbader book apart from 'Sirens', besides these I have read all the Bourne novels by Lustbader. The fact that I haven't read previous Nicholas Linnear novels took its toll on me as I got confused ...

Book

The Sunset Warrior (1995)

Ronin called no man master. He was the finest swordsman of the Freehold, as sharp and deadly as his blade. Yet as the ancient city faltered, Ronin alone refused to pledge himself to any of the powerful Saardin who ruled the crumbling underground world of levels. But now dark magic was loose in th...

Book

The Miko (1995)

The Miko is the 2nd book from the Nicholas Linnear series. Though it is related to the first - The Ninja, the book is interdependent from it. This has a whole new story and lots of characters introduced and to my displeasure, re-introduced. My problem with this is that it lacked the elements of s...

Book

The Ninja (1985)

I would like to thank NetGalley and Open Road Media for the chance to read this e-book in exchange for an honest review. Although I received it for free, that in no way impacts my opinions within this review."Totally absorbing...as gripping a tale of hatred and revenge as you will read...It is su...

Book

White Ninja (1995)

This is the first book I read by Eric Van Lustbader, its the first book I read in the Nicholas Linnear series. I praise the author for explaining certain important plot points from the first two books which helped me understand the history of Nicholas.I will clearly state I enjoyed this book, I w...

Book

The Kaisho (1994)

Of Lustbader's Linnear stories, this has been the best so far. I desperately grabbed onto the strong women Lustbader presented in this tale. It was amazing to me how much more I enjoyed the story once it contained heroines who do not have an obvious need to be saved from themselves. Lustbader's d...

Book

Art Kills (2001)

Art is having a wild affair with murder in this breathtaking, inventive tale from the best-selling author of the exotic White Ninja and chilling Second Skin. Racing from the marbled precincts of New York's uptown museum scene to the fashionable galleries and lofts of Soho to a gated Mafia mansion...

Book

Floating City (1994)

A busy week and a slower reading book, but its done. Made me think of an old Nick Carter pulp but much! more fleshed out in the story line. Nicholas Linnear is a business man, son of a military officer who was deeply involved in the recovery of Japan after WWII. Nicholas is deeply in to martia...

Book

Dragons on the Sea of Night (1998)

He is Ronin no more. He is Dai-San, the Sunset Warrior: glorious and terrible to behold. Neither man nor god, yet the power he wields is beyond description. However, the Dai-San is not invincible and he still has bitter lessons to learn.

Book

The Death and Life of Nicholas Linnear

The acoustics were eerie, as if the interior was a miniature theater, its unseen audience hushed and waiting for the curtain to rise and the lights to snap on. There were no lights, but the sound reverberated in the confined space, doubling and redoubling like pinballs cri...

Book

The Sunset Warrior - 01

He went with them without resistance because he was pragmatic enough to know that it had to come sooner or later, that they were just waiting for a valid excuse, because they hated him. They marched swiftly through the Corridor and perhaps they were surprised that he came so willingly. Into a des...

He saw the blow tube still gripped between her teeth, noted with sorrow that the tiny steel shuriken had not been launched.

Shallows of Night - 02

Streamers of silvered plumage, running bilaterally across his wings and cresting his majestic questing head, ripple and blur in the wind. He banks and dips. There is a moaning in his ears.

Dai-San - 03

WHITE. BLUE. GRAY-WHITE, mottled. A rushing in his ears; cool air against his body, a balm to his aches and lacerations. Weightless. His eyes closing in weariness. Mind floating.

she said, laughing. “Let’s just forget all about it.” She ran at him instead of away from him as she had been doing. She leaped in a shallow dive, skidding across the top of a sand dune, wrapped her arms about his ankles, bringing him down. Justine laughed again, half atop him. Nicholas spit sand...

It was a makeshift glider. When he was finished he walked back to where Russilov knelt. Stripped of his uniform, his rank, he seemed to have shrunk in size.

Beneath an Opal Moon

It was midday before they breached the far verge of the forest. It seemed a dismal place, heavily overgrown with dense tangled foliage, ropy vines and thorned creepers; the earth in between littered with great malevolent-looking mushrooms as lividly white as snow. But there seemed little in the w...
