출판사 설명
Jason Bourne must face the violence and betrayal of his forgotten past in this latest gripping entry in Robert Ludlum’s #1 New York Times bestselling series.
Like most spies, Jason Bourne lives in the shadows. But for Bourne, whose entire memory was stripped away by a bullet, those shadows hide dangerous secrets.
When a desperate stranger in Zurich asks for his help, she calls him by the name David Webb, which is the identity he left behind years ago to become Jason Bourne. This woman tells him an incredible story – that her sister disappeared with David’s help after the deaths of four terrorists in the mountains. Now men from this same extremist group are trying to hunt her down.
Bourne remembers none of it, but when the Swiss bistro erupts in violence, he finds himself on the run, chasing the ghosts of his very first Treadstone mission. Operating on pure instinct, Bourne plunges into a maelstrom unlike any he’s ever experienced, hoping to rescue a woman he once loved. He soon discovers that no one in this world of shadows can be trusted – and everything he’s been told about his past is a lie.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The rousing fifth entry in Freeman's reboot of the Jason Bourne series (after The Bourne Defiance) revisits the amnesiac hero's first assignment for black ops agency Treadstone. Ten years ago, David Webb was working as a teacher in Zurich when he was recruited into Treadstone and sent to infiltrate Le Renouveau, "the most poisonous neo-Nazi cell in Europe." When, as a final test of his loyalty, his handlers instructed him to kill his fiancée, Monika Roth, the mission went awry, and his memory of it was wiped by a traumatic brain injury. Now, he's living as Jason Bourne in Paris, and a contentious presidential campaign pitting a right-wing extremist against an establishment candidate is in full flame. Le Renouveau has reemerged to foment protest in the extremist's favor, and some of its members target Bourne for reasons he can't decipher. While dining at a café, he's approached by Monika's sister, Johanna, who recognizes him as David Webb. Together, the pair crisscross Europe in search of Monika, digging up answers about what exactly went wrong for Bourne a decade ago along the way. Freeman keeps things brisk and punchy, generating a surprising amount of heat by finding a fresh way to revisit Bourne's amnesia. Fans of Ludlum's original trilogy or the film adaptations will be riveted.

This is an excellent read !!! Jason Bourne, also known as David Webb as well as Cain is caught in a triangle of deceit, treachery, lies, and the most brutal lie of all…love. My highest recommendation !!! Enjoyed immensely !!!
Sad to see
Not a bad story but defiantly not worthy of a Json Bourne novel.
