When secrets from Jason Bourne's past come to light, he may be the next
thing that's buried. The latest thrilling instalment in the legendary
New York Times bestselling series from the world of Robert Ludlum.
It's been over a decade since Nash Rollins recruited a brilliant,
talented, but disaffected young man named David Webb to join
Treadstone. Webb became the agent known as Cain - and later took on the
identity of Jason Bourne.
That violent winter which included Cain’s first mission for Treadstone
was also a story of betrayal in ways that David never knew. So after
the injury that erased Bourne’s whole life, Nash lied about the
circumstances of David’s recruitment to Treadstone. He was afraid that
learning the truth might drive Bourne out of the agency forever.
But now, when Bourne meets a woman who recognises him as David Webb,
the secrets of those days begin to come out - and Bourne is forced to
confront the dangerous ghosts of a past he doesn’t even remember.
The world's most ruthlessly efficient assassin, Jason Bourne, has
carved a bloody swathe through all his opponents but now he's
facing the one force he can't defeat - his own past - in the latest
thrilling entry in Robert Ludlum's New York Times bestselling
series. Three years ago, Jason Bourne embarked on a mission in
Estonia with his partner and lover, a fiery UK-based Treadstone
agent codenamed Nova. Their job was to rescue a Russian scientist
and activist, the leader of an anti-Putin protest movement, who'd
recently been smuggled out of St. Petersburg in the midst of an FSB
manhunt. They failed. Now, three years later, everything has
changed for Bourne. Nova is gone, killed in a mass shooting in Las
Vegas. Bourne is a lone operative working in the shadows for
Treadstone. He's ready for a new mission when his handler bring him
shocking news. The Estonian mission was a set up. Their target had
not been killed. She is still in hiding in Russia and the Russian
State Intelligence Agency is desperately seeking her. Bourne must
find her first, but his race to correct the errors of the past will
lead him to one inevitable conclusion: Some secrets should stay
buried.
Jason Bourne is back... and this time he's the hunted one. The
latest electrifying entry in Robert Ludlum's #1 New York Times
bestselling series. Around the world, Treadstone agents are being
hunted down and murdered... and Jason Bourne may be next on the
list. Someone high up in the U.S. government is erasing all
evidence of a shocking mission from Bourne's past, known as
Defiance – and that evidence includes Bourne himself. Staying one
step ahead of a team of killers, Bourne follows a global trail that
leads him to one of the government's darkest secrets. But exposing
the truth about the Defiance mission will also bring Bourne face to
face with his arch-enemy, the assassin known as Lennon, for a final
deadly confrontation. Reviewers on Brian Freeman: 'Freeman has a
firm grasp of Bourne's tangled background plus the skills to keep
the action front and center. Bourne fans will hope for an encore
from this talented author.' Publishers Weekly 'This guy can tell a
story.' Michael Connelly 'Some of the most literate and stylish
writing you'll find anywhere today.' Jeffery Deaver

drowning as he struggles to shore. In the aftermath, through his

he's haunted by glimpses of himself. Dylan initially chalks it up

claims he's her patient. She says he has been undergoing a unique
hypnotherapy treatment built on the idea that with every choice, he
creates an infinite number of parallel universes. Now those
parallel universes are unlocked-and Dylan's doppelganger has staked
a claim to his world. Can Dylan use these alternate realities to
get a second chance at the life that was stolen from him? Or will
he lose himself...to himself?

Ecological and Economic Entomology is a comprehensive advanced text
covering all aspects of the role of insects in natural ecosystems
and their impacts on human activity. The book is divided into two
sections. The first section begins with an outline of the
structure, classification and importance of insects, followed by
the geographical aspects of plant distribution and the complex
defences plants marshal against herbivorous insects. Insect pests
affecting plant roots, stem, leaf, and reproductive systems are
covered in a comprehensive review. This section also covers insects
that are important in medical and veterinary science, paying
particular attention to those that transmit pathogens. The section
concludes with the beneficial aspects of insects, especially their
use in biological control, but also as soil formers and their
importance in forensic science. Autecology (or single-species
ecology) and its application to pest management is the focus of the
second section of the book. Firstly, some general aspects of
autecology are examined, including species abundance, competition
and speciation, and relevant genetics. The classic general theories
of insect population dynamics are reviewed, followed by chapters on
life tables, time series analysis and mathematical models in insect
populations. The final chapter reviews the application of
autecology to the insect pests of forests, farms and orchards and
to the control of insect vectors of diseases of humans and
livestock. Particular attention is paid to environmentally friendly
methods of pest management and the application of Integrated Pest
Management (IPM) techniques. This volume is essential reading for
professional entomologists and advanced students of agricultural,
medical and veterinary entomology, insect ecology and conservation.

woman's entire identity turns out to be a lie, and news reports of
her death have been strangely twisted and suppressed. Finding the
truth about this woman may be Bourne's only chance to catch Lennon

comes with high stakes. Bourne's former lover, journalist Abbey
Laurent, is digging into the mystery too, and the battle against

Weekly 'Freeman's first Jason Bourne thriller is a treat for fans
of the late Robert Ludlum' Kirkus Reviews
This book presents an anatomical overview of the changing form and
structure of the human body. Although biomechanical embryology can
be traced back to the 19th century, up until recently the most
commonly accepted framework for the study of human ontogeny
(development of the individual) was molecular biology, which all
too frequently relied on findings from animal experiments that
remained untested for humans. German embryologist and anatomist
Erich Blechschmidt's research concentrates on the evidence
presented by the human embryo itself. He offers a new approach to
the study of early human growth as a way to shed light on the
development of body build, instincts, gestures, language,
mathematics, tools, and dress.
Everyone keeps secrets in Vegas. Especially about murder...
Detective Jonathan Stride discovers that there are only two ways to
go in Las Vegas: you can hit the jackpot or you can get Stripped...
Sure to enthral fans of Freeman's thrilling Thief River Falls, The
Nightbird and The Voice Inside. 'This guy can tell a story' Michael
Connelly 'A strong narrative, rife with sex and violence'
Publishers Weekly Elonda's seen most things working the streets.
But it's a first when her client is shot dead in the act. Detective
Jonathan Stride quickly establishes that the victim is M.J. Lane,
son of a reclusive millionaire film producer. Any number of people
might have wanted to kill M.J. Another death is troubling the Vegas
force - that of a little boy, killed in a hit-and-run incident
involving a stolen car. Then the body of a woman is found in a
remote farmhouse. Could the murders be linked? It seems the killer
wants to send a message about the brutal slaying decades earlier of
a nightclub dancer. That case was wrapped up quickly. Too quickly?
Someone certainly thinks so - and he's set on murderous revenge for
the sins of the past. What readers are saying about Stripped: 'I
couldn't put this down. Breath-taking, brilliant, talented' 'This
story has everything: greed, power, corruption, murder, love,
revenge, desire, family feuds dating back forty years. There are a
lot of very good thrillers out there, but Stripped is in a class
above' 'Full of twists and turns - it's an exciting read, gripping
from the very first page'
In the follow-up to bestselling psychological thriller The Night
Bird, a serial killer mistakenly set free becomes a city's worst
nightmare-and a detective's deadliest challenge. Four years after
serial killer Rudy Cutter was sent away for life, San Francisco
homicide inspector Frost Easton uncovers a terrible lie: his
closest friend planted false evidence to put Cutter behind bars.
When he's forced to reveal the truth, his sister's killer is back
on the streets. Desperate to take Cutter down again, the detective
finds a new ally in Eden Shay. She wrote a book about Cutter and
knows more about him than anyone. And she's terrified. Because for
four years, Cutter has been nursing revenge day after stolen day.
Staying ahead of the game of a killer who's determined to strike
again is not going to be easy. Not when Frost is battling his own
demons. Not when the game is becoming so personal. And not when the
killer's next move is unlike anything Frost expected. Winner of the
