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.

"After Van Lustbader's last 2 Bourne novels I wasn't sure if I'd enjoy this as they had been a little hard to follow and seemed to be slower than usual. However, this one is much more like Ludlum's original Bourne novels with a lot of action and surprise twists to the very end."

" Fast paced and exciting. Easy to read. "
— Mom, 2/20/2014 -
" A quick read. But I have to say i really prefer the Bourne films. "
— Julie, 2/18/2014 -
" Reading books in the Bourne series became addictive sometime ago. The Bourne Imperative seems stale. It is a story but the characters do not really develop. This was obviously written just to keep the series alive; you wouldn't understand much of the story without having read the previous books. "
— Susan, 2/17/2014 -
" I am starting to loose interest in the Bourne series. The plot is interesting right from the start and keeps you engaged . I feel the end could have been better . I wonder sometimes whether we really to drag the story to make the size of the book bigger "
— Amit, 2/9/2014 -
" I really enjoyed this book, the charcters were thought out. The story was fast paced moved right along. "

" 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, 1/16/2014 -
" 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. "
— Anni, 1/12/2014 -
" I enjoyed it more after the set-up of background and setting all the components in place. It became quite frightening when looking at the world today. Was not necessarily surprised by the ending. Even saying all of this I enjoyed it. What's not to enjoy...it's Jason Bourne. "
— Gerri, 1/4/2014 -
" Not my favorite. Lots of threads...very choppy... "
— Susan, 1/2/2014 -
" Ver good "

" Jason Bourne is back in the newest installment of the Jason Bourne series. It's a good book. "
— Sam, 12/12/2013 -
" Oh so hard to read. It was difficult to follow and it was boring. "
— Julia, 9/20/2013 -
" 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, 9/7/2013 -
" 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, 6/5/2013 -
" The plot was complicated and hard to follow at times. "
— Greg, 5/6/2013 -
" 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 "
— Milton, 2/28/2013 -
" Easy, fast paced read -- typical Bourne story. "
— Tom, 2/9/2013 -
" 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, 1/30/2013 -
" Enjoyed the audio version of this book. "
— Laurie, 1/5/2013 -
" 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, 10/25/2012 -
" Which Jason Bourne book don't i like.. it will take a while to figure this out. A ruthless killer but has loyalty and compassion. Just don't get in his way if your doing wrong. "
— Parmjit/montanaridge, 10/13/2012 -
" Pretty standard for Van Lustbader. Slightly hard to follow but enough pace and twists to keep me interested. Plus, it's Bourne. "
— Christian, 7/11/2012 -
" Lustbader writes another engaging Bourne novel that takes you around the globe. "
— Nate, 7/8/2012
