The Bourne Sanction – Eric Van Lusbader

Description

The Bourne Sanction, the sixth instalment in the pulse-pounding Jason Bourne series, continues the legacy of Robert Ludlum, with Eric Van Lustbader delivering another taut, high-stakes thriller. Jason Bourne, restless in his quiet academic life as David Webb, is drawn back into the world of espionage when his old mentor, Professor Specter, requests his help in probing the death of a former student. The investigation quickly reveals a sinister terrorist organisation known as the Black Legion — a group with dangerous roots in the shadows of World War II and a chilling plan to unleash an attack on the United States.

As Bourne delves deeper into the deadly web of intrigue, he finds himself targeted by both the Black Legion and ruthless forces within America’s own intelligence network. At Central Intelligence, new director Veronica Hart faces a power struggle, with her enemies at the NSA plotting to use Bourne’s capture or death as leverage to oust her from power. Meanwhile, a deadly assassin — as skilled and broken as Bourne himself — moves ever closer, making the mission not only one of survival but of redemption.
