About this ebook

Jason Bourne is back in this "rollicking roller coaster ride of spy games" as a riddle leaves Bourne with less than four days to prevent a cataclysmic international war" (BookReporter.com).
On the eve of Russian general Boris Karpov's wedding, Jason Bourne receives an enigmatic message from his old friend and fellow spymaster. In Moscow, what should be a joyous occasion turns bloody and lethal. Now Bourne is the only one who can decipher Karpov's cryptogram. He discovers that Karpov has betrayed his sovereign to warn Bourne of a crippling disaster about to be visited on the world. Bourne has only four days to discover the nature of the disaster and stop it.

The trail Karpov has been following leads Bourne to Cairo and the doorstep of Ivan Borz, the elusive international arms dealer infamous for hiding behind a never-ending series of false identities, a man Bourne has been hunting ever since he abducted former Treadstone director Soraya Moore and her two-year-old daughter and brutally murdered Soraya's husband.

Bourne must travel to war-torn Syria and then Cyprus as he chases the astonishing truth. The clock is ticking, and Bourne has less than four days to solve Karpov's riddle--and hunt down Borz--if he hopes to prevent a cataclysmic international war . . .

Ratings and reviews

Disappointing read. Normally his lead characters always have a professional sense of awareness about them. Not so this time. Too often they are in situations they should never have been in and escaped positions that frankly had no reason surviving.Emotions seem to dictate this time around. Contributed to a lack of plausibility. Still loves his style of writing though. Pass this one as an abberation.

Kinda Disappointed. Had high hopes for this book but was kinda let down. Just didn't have the same pacing and style as the other books written by Eric. Have read all the Bourne novels but not sure if I'll purchase the new one when it comes out. Not a bad book but definitely not a great one either.

Thanks for all of the hours of entertainment you have provided me with your fantastic writing. Your descriptions of the beautiful venues are jaw-dropping and nobody writes a fight scene better.
