Publisher Description

In Europe, Bourne's investigation into the Black Legion turns into one of the deadliest and most tangled operations of his double life-the pursuit of the leader of a terrorist group with roots in the darkest days of World War II--all while an assassin as brilliant and damaged as himself is getting closer by the minute . . .



Jason Bourne returns to Georgetown University and the mild world of his alter ego, David Webb, hoping for normalcy. But after so many adrenaline-soaked years of risking his life, Bourne finds himself chafing under the quiet life of a linguistics professor.

Aware of his frustrations, his academic mentor, Professor Specter, asks for help investigating the murder of a former student by a previously unknown Muslim extremist sect. The young man died carrying information about the group's terrorist activities, including an immediate plan to attack the United States.

The organization, the Black Legion, and its lethal plot have also popped up on the radar of Central Intelligence, where new director Veronica Hart is struggling to assert her authority. Sensing an opportunity to take control of CI by showing Hart's incompetence, National Security Agency operatives plan to accomplish what CI never could-hunt down and kill Bourne.

"This is the fifth book in the Bourne Series. The last two are not written by Robert Ludlum and are not quite as good but Lustbader does a good job because I don't want to put the book down. He jumps between characters every couple of pages and I can't wait to see how they are all related."

    " Read via book on CD. The Bourne novels have gotten progressively worse, and this author definitely does not have the writing talent of Robert Ludlum. This book had a very weak plot and several random plots that were barely connected to the story, and one that had absolutely nothing to do with the story. Nothing ever tied together, and the end was boring and anti-climactic. "

    " Pretty good, lots of twists and turns. Seems that the book is a little on the fanciful side for my tastes, but I suppose it would be really hard to keep up the reputation of Jason Bourne "

    " Mildly entertaining - The Bourne "franchise" apparently passed to other author(s) - this one is by Eric Van Lustbader (what a great name; should be writing bodice rippers). I actually prefer the movies to the books. "
