Publisher Description
The internationally known Jason Bourne can't help by feel connected to this case as he finds a man also with amnesia and the truth behind his identity could just save Bourne's life.
The complex trail links to the mission given to Treadstone directors Peter Marks and Soraya Moore: find the semi-mythic terrorist assassin known as Nicodemo.
In the course of Bourne's desperate, deadly search for a secret that will alter the future of the entire world, he will experience both triumph and loss, and his life will never be the same.
Now everything turns on the amnesiac. Bourne must learn his identity and purpose before both he and Rebeka are killed. From Stockholm to Washington, D.C., from Mexico City to Beijing, the web of lies and betrayals extends into a worldwide conspiracy of monumental proportions.

"This book is quite an improvement upon the previous Bourne books by Mr.Lustbader.While the previous few books had Leonid Arkadin as a very formidable figure,sometimes outshining Bourne, this one has brought Bourne back to the front.It is reminiscent of 'The Bourne Legacy' which I liked very much as it portrayed Bourne as an exceptionally competent agent who could tackle almost any situation. In this book, Bourne gets the better of Ilan Halevy, a ruthless Mossad killer.I like the Bourne books for the strong,bellicose adversaries that Bourne is pitted against like Arkadin,Stepan Spalko,Khan,Kevin McColl and now Ilan Halevy and Maceo Encarnacion.It's a joy ride for a reader of thrillers."

" A quick read. But I have to say i really prefer the Bourne films. "
— Julie, 2/20/2014 -
" I think i may be missing something here. Seems like there were too many characters in this story. But overall Jason gets things done. And the bad guys get their. B "

" Good stuff!! Thank you Eric for continuing the saga!! "
— Andy, 2/4/2014 -
" Another book in the Bourne Series. While Van Lustbader tells a good story, they are no where close to the first three that Ludlum wrote. It will be interesting to see how long Lustbadercan keep the series going because it seems like every book he is killing off 2 to 3 characters. "
— Mike, 1/19/2014 -
" I think this is the second Bourne book by Van Lusbader I've read. They way the story flows it seems as though Ludlum is still writing! "
— Cassi, 1/19/2014 -
" Fast paced and exciting. Easy to read. "
— Mom, 12/31/2013 -
" I really enjoyed this book, the charcters were thought out. The story was fast paced moved right along. "

" Not my favorite. Lots of threads...very choppy... "
— Susan, 12/27/2013 -
" Sadly...not impressed. Does anyone know of an author that can write a great spy novel/political thriller that knows how to write without using the F-word every few pages? Help me out here. I'm having a hard time finding them. "
— Christine, 12/15/2013 -
" I was not impressed, Probably one of the worse of the Bourne series. I am not sure this one is worth reading "
— Edwin, 12/14/2013 -
" Action packed. But, I still miss pure Robert Ludlum works. "
— Nikki, 12/11/2013 -
" Not as exciting as previous books...to many subplots. "
— James, 11/28/2013 -
" One of the better Eric Van Lusterbader written Bourne books. "
— Matt, 10/12/2013 -
" This was an okay book in the series. The beginning was a little slow and confusing for me but as it got going it got a little better. "
— Eric, 9/30/2013 -
" I don't think that EVL's Bourne books are anywhere near as good as Ludlum's. That said, I think this was EVL's best Bourne book yet. After the last 2-3 books, I almost didn't read Imperative, but I'm glad I did. Now if EVL would only stop killing off all of the good characters... "
— Ethan, 9/22/2013 -
" This book turned out to be a good read. From the arid landscape of Lebanon to the streets of Mexico City, Jason Bourne is one person who does not forgive. This was action pacted with several sub-plots. I enjoyed the intrigue. "
— Glenn, 7/13/2013 -
" Excellent. Plan on staying up late to finish. "
— Eli, 7/7/2013 -
" Love Jason Bourne! "
— Barbara, 6/2/2013 -
" Gave up halfway through. It was slow and had some timeline issues that drove me crazy because they really should have been caught in editing. "
— Jason, 2/25/2013 -
" The book jumped around so much, it made the story a bit hard to follow. "
— Lori, 1/2/2013 -
" Typical, thrilling, action-packed Bourne story. Sometimes it's hard to keep up with the many characters, but as always, Van Lustbader pulls it together. "
