Facing down mercenaries in Africa, Jason Bourne witnesses the death of an art dealer named Tracy Atherton. Her killing dredges up snatches of Bourne's impaired memory, in particular the murder of a young woman on Bali who entrusted him with a strangely engraved ring - an artifact of such powerful significance that people have killed to obtain it. Now he's determined to find the ring's owner and purpose. But Bourne never knows what terrible acts he'll discover he committed when he digs into the past.
The trail will lead him through layers of conspiracy to a vicious Russian mercenary, Leonid Arkadin, who was also a graduate of the Central Intelligence training program Treadstone. A covert course designed to create ruthless assassins for C.I., it was shuttered by Congress for corruption. Yet before it was dismantled, it produced Bourne and Arkadin, giving them equal skills, equal force, and equal cunning.
As Bourne's destiny circles closer to Arkadin's, it becomes clear that the eventual collision of these men is not of their own making. Someone else has been watching and manipulating them. Someone who wants to know, Who is the more deadly agent?

This book is not worth reading, that is for sure. I read Bourne Legacy and was disappointed. I was hoping that Bourne Betrayal would be better, but it was actually much worse.Firstly, there are a TON of errors in this book! I didn't know that people would seriously publish a book without looking it over first. Just to mention one problem with this book: on several occurrences, Bourne starts speaking a language he didn't speak in the original series. I know that he could have learned Russian or whatever in that period of time between Ultimatum and Betrayal but what are the chances of that? Ludlum makes it very clear that Jason does not speak Russian in Ultimatum, and he speaks it fluently in Betrayal.
Secondly, the characters are so boring and unrealistic that it's annoying. Also, it seems that Bourne is constantly wounded. Why Lustbander?? Is this necessary? I very much doubt that. I hate how Jason seemed to be so void of emotions too.
I am almost surprised at myself, because usually I am very open to books, even if they are not very good. But I am very disappointed with this book, and Lusbander for making it such a terrible read.
It also seems that the antagonists are not very strong characters. Carlos, for example, is a very well-developed, evil, spine-chilling dude. What happened with Lustbander's antagonists? They seem to the reader unreal, see-through, and no personality at all. Not like Carlos in any way whatsoever. Lame with a capital L.
Oh ya, and one more thing. The beginning of this book was so bad and poorly written I felt like quitting reading. (FYI: I love to read) I was so angry at how he shaped it, it was just so bad.
I know that this is just personal preference, but I hate how Lustbander always calls Jason just "Bourne". It makes him seem like a machine, not a person. Not once does the author mention him by his first name, which really bugs me.
I am not reading any more of his books, that is for sure. I need to cleanse my mind with some real books, like Ludlums "Prometheus Deception",g great book, by the way.

Robert Ludlum The Bourne Objective (Audible Audio Edition) Eric Van Lustbader Scott Sowers Hachette Audio Books Reviews
I hope you didn't read this as I did--having not seen the movies and wanting to read in order. In the last book it became clear that Bourne had been reborn to a different writer, one who didn't like Bourne's need and love of his wife because he felt some love scenes were needed during resented his age because it wasn't sexy and powerful. This book just reinvents him completely as a much younger man, kills off his wife and exiles the kids, and writes scenes clearly designed for the silver screen. It's the Bourne Sham. With the wife out of the way and the amnesia relegated to a convenient plot device, the book is a little better in the second half. But still. This isn't Bourne. It's a thirty years younger movie star. Bah.
I would like to know what happened to Jason Bourne. The Bourne I read in this book was not the Jason Bourne from previous books. In the first three books, we find the main character battling Carlos the Jackal and other Cold War threats. Those books were well written and very enjoyable. The first Bourne book by Van Lustbader wasn't too bad. It tied up some of the plot lines from the first three books. However, all of that comes to an abrupt end with this book. First, Jason Bourne has found a fountain of youth. He hasn't aged at all. It has been forty years since the end of the Vietnam War; a war that started the career of Jason. First, I am willing to forget that the character should be in his sixties however that are too many other items in this book that I cannot understand. This is no longer the tormented Jason Bourne; a man searching for his identity. Instead the character has morphed into a blend of Mitch Rapp, John Wells and James Bond. This has become a character that can beat all odds, destroy all enemies, out think and out smart all enemies and a character that can be stabbed, shot, beaten and still save the day. The human Jason Bourne has become an transparent character that is battling Middle East terrorism.
Bourne has now become a comic book super hero with no traces of the old, more humane character. This was not an enjoyable book. Rather it was a marathon attempt to finish this book, a marathon attempt to try to understand why the author has taken the character down this path. This book contained too many implausible plot twists and it was a book that I was extremely glad to finish. I am sorry that the Bourne series has to end but I will not suffer through another travesty of a one time great character and book series.
I have read the series up through "Dominion." This will be the last. As I read "Legacy," "Betrayal," "Sanction," "Deception," and "Objective," I kept hoping Van Lustbader would begin to demonstrate a natural aptitude for the kind of writing skill so well revealed by Ludlum. He didn't. I have a feeling he never will. The final two or three books won't enter into my reading pastime.
As a purveyor of series, it has been a disappointment. Conan Doyle and Sherlock Holmes, Edgar Allan Poe and Dupin, William F. Buckley and Blackford Oakes--these I have consumed with great enjoyment, and did so with a passion for following through to the end. Not so here.
I think possibly the greatest letdown was the failure to follow through in some fashion with Kahn, who emerged as the son who survived the jungle slaughter. And then there was Marie, who rose then fell into the mist.
All in all, the series became a veritable hodge podge of new characters, broadening situations, loose ends.
I will return to the Clancy series. After Tom Clancy's death I was hesitant, for fear that Mark Greaney would do to Clancy, as it turns out, Van Lustbader did to Ludlum. I am now well into Greaney's "Full Force and Effect," without disappointment. So far he is moving forward from Clancy in a seamless style, thus giving homage to his predecessor.
This book is not worth reading, that is for sure. I read Bourne Legacy and was disappointed. I was hoping that Bourne Betrayal would be better, but it was actually much worse.
Firstly, there are a TON of errors in this book! I didn't know that people would seriously publish a book without looking it over first.
