When Robert Ludlum died, many readers thought that Jason Bourne had been put to rest…o yee of little faith! Eric Van Lustbader has been penning Bourne novels for several years, and is doing a mighty fine job of it. The latest, The Bourne Dominion, finds Jason searching for a cadre of terrorists, and partnering with a Russian spy agency. The book moves from Columbia to Munich; then leads to Damascus as Bourne tries to avert a catastrophe. Fast paced, lots of action, and you can feel Matt Damon racing through the streets in his hot cars and motorcycles.

The Last Werewolf by Glen Duncan opens with a scene in which Jake, the last werewolf on earth, is contemplating what the promise of death may hold for him. He’s depressed [I’m sure many werewolves are] and lonely. Jake’s lived for 201 years, and the WOCOP [World Organization for Control of Occult Phenomena-but I’m sure you already knew that] is chasing down and killing off all werewolves. He’s the last…..or is he? Could that be a female ww he meets in a chance encounter? Is it possible that there is hope after all? The author presents this original and bold novel in a very amusing tongue-in-cheek fashion that is delightful to read.
