Someone's killing Treadstone agents and Jason Bourne may be next on the list in this latest electrifying entry in Robert Ludlum’s #1 New York Times bestselling series.
From the glacial waters of Alaska to a sexy nightclub in the Bahamas, Treadstone agents are being hunted down and murdered. Someone high up in the U.S. government will stop at nothing to cover up a secret Treadstone mission from the past known as Defiance.
With a team of killers hot on his trail, Jason Bourne chases the mystery of Defiance around the world. But as he closes in on the shocking truth, Bourne realizes that one man holds the key—his archenemy, the assassin known as Lennon. The Russian hitman has been at the heart of Defiance from the very beginning, and his next target will put Bourne —and the woman he loves—in the cross-hairs.
As Bourne races to stop the ruthless conspiracy behind Defiance, he must come face to face with Lennon one last time—and the stage is set for a final violent showdown.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In Freeman's breakneck fourth Jason Bourne thriller (after 2022's The Bourne Sacrifice)—the 18th overall—the Treadstone secret agent remains locked in combat against his nemesis, Russian mole Lennon. Bourne's former lover, Nova, is sent by Bourne's longtime handler, Nash Rollins, to tell him someone is killing Treadstone agents around the world. Six are already dead, and Bourne and Nova are in the crosshairs, though no one's sure exactly who's responsible. Nat mentions the killings may have links to Defiance, a long-buried Treadstone operation whose details have died with the agents who planned it. As Bourne follows the trail of bodies left in the wake of Defiance, he learns of its connection to a mysterious, unsolved plane disappearance from a decade ago. Digging deeper, he discovers that bioweapons and political tensions involving Iran and high-level U.S. officials swirled around the downed plane—leaving Bourne determined to learn the details, hoping they'll point the way to his own survival. As he investigates, the battles stack up steadily until he reaches a long-awaited final confrontation with Lennon. The action is relentless but expertly rendered, and Bourne remains a fascinating creation more than 40 years into his life on the page. Series fans will leave this entry exhausted, satisfied, and hungry for more.
