From Publishers Weekly
The literary faults and stylistic excesses that characterized The Icarus Agenda , The Gemini Contenders and other of Ludlum's works are present in his latest mammoth thriller, but fans will nonetheless cheer the return of his most popular character, David Webb, aka Jason Bourne, the assassin who never was. When the international terrorist known as Carlos the Jackal penetrates his civilian identity, Webb must again assume the Bourne persona to protect his wife and small children. In their renewed struggle, the two master assassins uncover the revived existence of Medusa, the sinister alliance that originally led to the establishment of the Bourne identity. In action that moves from the U.S. to Montserrat to Paris before concluding in Moscow, Bourne and his allies prove incredibly inept, barely escaping the Jackal's traps and failing in their repeated attempts to ambush him. The Ludlum trademarks are present: improbable bloodbaths, repetitive action, stilted and off-the-point conversations and--most annoying--the use of italicized words or entire paragraphs to simulate passion. This is formula writing that delivers even less than its meager promise.

Review
"Vintage Ludlum." -- The Cleveland Plain Dealer -- Review

Ick. "Quien es mas macho?" That's the only question. To me, the saving grace of this book was that it was read by one of my favorite actors, Darren McGavin.

Boy, oh boy, what a bad BookCrosser I am! This arrived on my doorstep FIVE YEARS AGO in an Audio Bookbox Ray sent on by BigJohnLefty and I promptly put it on top of a bookcase in a Spare Oom and just recently discovered it. I'm going to get it moving again!
