Synopsis

Jason Bourne returns in this stunning new thriller from Eric Van Lustbader, continuing Robert Ludlum's classic series.

General Boris Karpov, head of the feared Russian FSB, is dead. But Karpov has reached out from the grave with an unstoppable cyber operation he conceived before his murder, aimed at the heart of the United States--a way to steal the president's nuclear launch codes. Who has taken over the operation? Karpov trusted only one man: Jason Bourne. But can Bourne be working against his own country? The U.S. Government is convinced of his treason, and is doing everything in its power to kill him. Flushed from cover and gravely wounded, Bourne's only hope is to join forces with his bitterest enemy: a powerful Somali terrorist named Keyre, and his protoge, the Angelmaker. If he hopes to survive, Bourne has no choice but unravel the mystery of Karpov's last legacy--a weaponized code that may bring about the unthinkable: a violent end to America.

Goodreads review by Magdalena aka A Bookaholic Swede on July 16, 2017

I have seen a couple of the Bourne movies, but I have never read any of the books. So, I was curious to see how I would like this one, written Eric Van Lustbader who took over the series after Robert Ludlum died. To be perfectly honest was I never really that fond of the movies since I had a hard ti......more

Excellent story. I’m so thrilled that Eric Van Lustbader has continued with this wonderful series. I believe Robert Ludlum would be proud.

Goodreads review by Mike on October 06, 2017

Better than some of the more recent offerings in the series, but still nowhere near the original. As with most offerings from Van Lustbader it doesn't seems to have great flow. You always seem to be jumping from character to character. I found the plot decent, but if you are looking for a great Jaso......more

Goodreads review by Dick on December 16, 2017

Got as far as page 90 before bailing out. A multitude of characters, most of whom are not interesting, and a plot that seems to be going nowhere. Shame on me. Now I'm moving on to something different.......more
