When Robert Ludlum passed away in 2001, he left behind a legacy of great espionage thrillers that included three terrific Jason Bourne novels. It is hard to believe that Eric Van Lustbader, in firmly grabbing the Bourne mantle, has now completed his 10th book in the series.Lustbader's Bourne novels have firmly created their own microcosm world filled with a plethora of characters who come in and out of the series. THE BOURNE ENIGMA, the latest installment, is no exception. It carries with it all the signature elements fans have come to expect from a Jason Bourne adventure: non-stop action, international settings, a myriad of villainous characters, secret codes and false identities.The book opens with a quote from the infamous Joseph Stalin: “Denial is the first impulse of a traitor.” This hits home as, in Jason Bourne's world, there are agents, double agents and those willing to turn on you at the beckoning of the highest bidder. Now for the novel's title. By definition, an enigma is someone or something that is mysterious or puzzling. Bourne uses the term more than once here as there are many unanswered questions surrounding a plot that involves several unexplained events.The initial event that draws Bourne's attention is the murder of his comrade and friend, Russian general Boris Karpov, on the eve of Karpov’s wedding. We now get to see Bourne in full revenge mode. His passion and anger are unbridled, and he is operating outside of the reigns of any handler. Long gone are the days of Treadstone, and THE BOURNE ENIGMA does not make much mention of Bourne's memory issues.However, the past will return to smack Bourne in the face when one of his most cherished associates --- and a woman he once thought to be dead --- resurfaces.
