JASON BOURNE: THE LEANER, MEANER JAMES BOND FOR THE 21ST CENTURY
When the woman he loves is brutally murdered, Jason Bourne is drawn into a deadly web. The only thing that burns hotter than passion, is revenge.
One moment Jason Bourne is on a boat in the Mediterranean moonlight with his lover, Johanna. The next, he finds himself alone, floating on wreckage as fire and smoke choke the sky.
With his memory fragmented once more, Bourne must piece together the truth behind the attack even as Johanna's killers try to complete their mission.
A deadly game is being played from Moscow to Washington. Bourne's surrogate father, a long-missing spy chief, is revealed to be alive. Bourne's controller, Shadow, has answers... but she also has hidden agendas of her own.
Bourne must track down his father figure before his enemies do, and avenge Johanna at the same time. But in a game destined to have no winners, the only certainty is that the body count will continue to rise.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In Freeman's thrilling latest Bourne adventure (after The Bourne Vendetta), the amnesiac spy is dealt a devastating blow that returns the series to its roots. The novel opens in flashback, with a 20-something Bourne—using his birth name, David Webb—undergoing a deadly test from his brilliant and calculating mentor David "the Monk" Abbott. Bourne passes the test and is cleared to take assignments for Webb's secret new espionage organization, Treadstone. In the present, Bourne is sailing in the Mediterranean with his girlfriend, fellow agent Johanna. The two are on the run from Russian assassins sent by Vladimir Putin and the head of Treadstone. One morning, Bourne wakes up floating alone on a piece of sailboat wreckage, suddenly wiped of all the memories he'd meticulously recovered over the series' four-decade run. Again a blank slate, Bourne must relearn who he is while dodging those determined to kill him. Freeman keeps the plot's hard reset from feeling too familiar by seizing the opportunity to fill in key questions about Bourne's past. It's a nostalgic treat for longtime series fans, and it sets up future entries for success.
