First published 2017
Jason Bourne discovers that General Boris Karpov, the deceased head of Russia's FSB, has left behind a devastating final operation. The cyber attack targets America's nuclear launch codes, threatening to place the president's most dangerous weapons in enemy hands. Karpov trusted only Bourne with knowledge of this scheme, but now the U.S. government believes Bourne has turned traitor. Federal agents hunt him across multiple countries as he struggles with severe injuries and dwindling resources. His survival depends on an impossible alliance with Keyre, a Somali terrorist who has long been his enemy, and Keyre's deadly apprentice known as the Angelmaker. Bourne must decode Karpov's final message while staying ahead of his own government's kill teams. The weaponized computer code grows more dangerous with each passing hour, and failure means watching America face destruction from within.
