This is the 2nd in the peerless, genre redefining Jason Bourne series. Scrawled in a pool of blood is one name the world wanted to forget - Jason Bourne - but is he really responsible for a string of high profile murders and how can he be stopped?
Washington, Hong Kong and Peking - terror sweeps the globe. The Vice-Premier of the People's Republic has been brutally murdered by a legendary assassin and everyone is asking the same fearful questions: Why has Bourne come back? Who is paying him? Who is next on his death list? But US officials know the shocking truth: there is no Jason Bourne. There never was. But someone has resurrected the name, and if he is not stopped, the world will pay a devastating price.
Jason Bourne must live again. He must utilise his murderous skills. But this time the will to survive is not enough. This time Bourne must reign supreme...
