Product Description
Jason Bourne-needs to regain his life as David Webb so he accepts an invitation from his beloved mentor, Dominic Specter, to join the linguistics department at Georgetown.- It's a relief to leave the Bourne identity behind, but Jason soon finds himself in a-life-or-death confrontation where every move might be his last. Specter tells him that a former student and son of his old friend was killed by Muslim extremists known as the Eastern Brotherhood. Their leader is a man named Semian Icoupov, and he must be stopped because his next terrorist target is believed to be right here in America. While Jason is busy pursuing Icoupov in London, he's become a target himself. Inside CI, a battle is brewing for control over the agency. In order to show the incompetence of its current director, two Pentagon operatives plan to accomplish what CI never could--hunt Bourne down and destroy him.

Reader ReviewsI completely enjoyed Mr. Van Lustbader's latest offering in the ongoing Jason Bourne saga. In this novel, Bourne is pitted against a particularly ruthless killer named Arkadin, whom I hope to see more of in the future. In all, the story is very fast-paced and entertaining, even if it seems to get a little complicated in parts. But the author does an excellent job of tying it all together. The action sequences are fascinating, specifically, the fight scenes. Jason Bourne is definitely not someone you want to pick a fight with. Thank you, Mr. Van Lustbader, for picking up where Mr. Ludlum left off and continuing the adventures of this fascinating character. I know some loyal Ludlum fans have been dissatisfied with the new Bourne novels; mostly, I think, because they can't see anyone else writing these stories but Robert Ludlum. But I think we have a very satisfying passing of the torch, and I think Mr. Van Lustbader has adopted Mr. Ludlum's favorite son quite nicely.
