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 man Jason Bourne fishes out of the freezing sea is near death, half-drowned and bleeding profusely from a gunshot wound. He awakens with no memory of who he is or why he was shot-and Bourne is eerily reminded of his own amnesia. Then Bourne discovers that the Mossad agent named Rebeka is so determined to find this injured man that she has gone off the grid, cut her ties to her agency, and is now being stalked by Mossad's most feared killer. Do the answers to these mysteries lie back in southeast Lebanon, in a secret encampment to which Bourne and Rebeka escaped following a firefight weeks ago?

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."

    " 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. "

    " 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. "

    " 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... "
