James Bond--British special agent 007--is summoned to headquarters
to receive an unusual assignment. Zanzarim, a troubled West African
nation, is being ravaged by a bitter civil war, and M directs Bond
to quash the rebels threatening the established regime. Bond's
arrival in Africa marks the start of a feverish mission to discover
the forces behind this brutal war--and he soon realizes the
situation is far from straightforward. Piece by piece, Bond
uncovers the real cause of the violence in Zanzarim, revealing a
twisting conspiracy that extends further than he ever imagined.
Moving from rebel battlefields in West Africa to the closed
doors of intelligence offices in London and Washington, this novel
is at once a gripping thriller, a tensely plotted story full of
memorable characters and breathtaking twists, and a masterful study
of power and how it is wielded--a brilliant addition to the James
Bond canon.
The hunt for a trove of secret information forces Bourne to decide who lives – and who dies – in this latest installment in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.
A hacked database known as the Files has upended the intelligence community. Careers are being destroyed. Dirty deals are showing up on the front page. Assassinations are spreading from Europe to the U.S.
The new head of Treadstone sends Jason Bourne on a mission to find out who has the Files and get them back – or destroy them. But Bourne isn’t alone in this race. The Chinese want the Files. So do the Russians. And the only woman who may be able to help him is a treacherous spy known as Johanna – Bourne’s former lover – who sees the Files as the key to her own vendetta against Treadstone.
Bourne has a rule for friends and enemies alike: Trust no one. That rule may be the only thing keeping him alive, because the hunt for the Files soon takes Bourne inside a twisted labyrinth of murder and betrayal, where everyone has a hidden agenda.
Including Bourne himself.
