Jason Bourne is one of the most popular and compelling characters in modern fiction. Originally created by bestselling author Robert Ludlum, now New York Times bestselling writer Eric Van Lustbader carries on Ludlum's legacy with a new novel about the rogue secret agent who has lost his memory . . .
Jason Bourne has been pursued by powerful governments—and escaped.
Hunted by the most skilled assassins in the world—and outsmarted them.
Targeted by terrorists—and defeated their plans for global chaos. But now, Bourne wants only one thing: retribution.
THE BOURNE RETRIBUTION
Bourne's friend Eli Yadin, head of Mossad, learns that Ouyang Jidan, a senior member of China's Politburo, and a major Mexican drug lord may have been trafficking in something far more deadly than drugs. Yadin needs Bourne to investigate. Bourne agrees, but only because he has a personal agenda: Ouyang Jidan is the man who ordered Rebeka--one of the only people Bourne has ever truly cared about--murdered. Bourne is determined to avenge her death, but in the process he becomes enmeshed in a monstrous world-wide scheme involving the Chinese, Mexicans, and Russians.
Bourne's increasingly desperate search for Ouyang takes him from Tel Aviv to Shanghai, Mexico City, and, ultimately, a village on China's coast where a clever trap has been laid for him. Bourne finds himself pursued on all sides and unsure whom he can trust. As he moves closer to Ouyang, closer to avenging the woman he loved, he also moves ever closer to his own death . . .

Then the Mercedes was through the tunnel. In an instant Bourne saw the last motorcycle break off and swerve to the side. Mind racing, he understood why there had been no chatter on the police band, why the final motorcycle had shadowed him until the last moment, why there were no vehicles ahead of him. Three minutes

Every cent of it. In fact, I’ve already started to—” “Why did you do it?” She turned on him now, and he quailed to see the force and determination on her face. “My father trusted you.” Marsh hung his head. “The money wasn’t for me, it was for my sister. She married a very rich, very abusive man. She
brother. Please continue.” Time for their fourth cup of tea. “Your forebear’s Grand Bargain was, as you rightly say, the right one at the right time. But times have changed. I no longer believe that turning the economy toward capitalism while keeping the old political system intact is working. There is growing unrest among the populace. We have had an alarming rise in the number of scandals among the elite, which have caused the governed’s anger to escalate.” “All this is known,” Deng said.
