I am a big fan of Ludlums Bourne books and was taken by a surprise by Van Lustbaders first Bourne novel – The Bourne Legacy. So I was anxiously looking forward for this book.

Libbra Bray is truly brilliant when it comes to her two books, A Great and Terrible Beauty and Rebel Angels. They are truly magical and took me to a world that I’ve never thought possible.
