First published 2009
Jason Bourne barely survives an ambush in Indonesia. He stages his own death and assumes a new identity to track down whoever wants him eliminated. The hunt forces Bourne to confront deeper questions about his true self and what remains if he sheds the Bourne persona entirely. Meanwhile, an American commercial aircraft falls from the sky over Egypt, apparently struck by an Iranian missile. The incident threatens to ignite global conflict. Soraya Moore leads an international investigation team racing to uncover the truth behind the attack before tensions explode into war. Bourne's pursuit of his assassin collides with Soraya's investigation into the aircraft bombing. He discovers both events connect to the same shadowy conspiracy. Bourne must expose the plot and prevent the conspirators from triggering a catastrophic new world war, but the forces already set in motion may prove unstoppable.
