Jason Bourne receives devastating news that Martin Lindros, his final remaining friend and a CIA deputy director, has vanished in Ethiopia. Lindros was tracking illegal shipments of yellowcake uranium and nuclear weapons components when he disappeared. Despite his deep animosity toward the CIA, Bourne cannot abandon the man who represents his last connection to humanity. He travels to Ethiopia to find Lindros and complete the mission: destroying a terrorist financing network that funds nuclear weapons development. The terrorists belong to an Islamic supremacist organization with sophisticated technology and global reach spanning Africa, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, and Russia. These enemies have anticipated Bourne's actions and plan to manipulate him into advancing their ultimate goal of attacking America. Bourne faces opponents who match his skills while racing to save both his friend and prevent nuclear catastrophe.
