Jason Bourne fishes a floating body out of an icy lake in
snow-covered Sweden. The man is near dead, so Jason takes
him to where he is staying and tries to revive him. When the
man awakes, Jason realizes he does not remember anything,
not even his name. Jason takes him back to the area where he
found the man in hopes of jogging his memory. In these
frozen northern woods, someone begins shooting at them. As
they attempt to escape, shots come from another gun. There
are two people shooting at them, and one of those people
Jason knows quite well, Rebeka, a Mossad operative. She
assists Jason in getting the amnesiac back to the safety of
her rented house.
Meanwhile intelligence directors Peter Marks and Soraya
Moore of Treadstone have been given a mission by the United
States Secretary of Defense: find and eliminate Nicodemo.
This order has come straight from the President. Their
intelligence search leads them to Bourne, who at this point
is crisscrossing the globe with Rebeka, also in search of
Nicodemo. All the intelligence they gather leads to a
compound in Lebanon, one in which Bourne and Rebeka are very
familiar.
This story is filled with many subplots and venues with
questions about energy sources, naked earths, and drug money
being at the hub. Between the web of lies, betrayals,
battling for power and the principle characters scamming
each other, we are never sure who the good guys are and
which ones are really bad guys. Each of the characters seems
to have an agenda that involves eliminate someone else.
Fast-paced and action-packed, Eric Van Lusterbader
brilliantly describes the final showdown in true Bourne
style. Chocked-full of clandestine operations and
international espionage, this thrill-a-minute novel is a
winner. Travel across the globe from Sweden to Mexico City,
Paris to Lebanon with such personalities as the Babylonian,
the Aztec, and Jason and Rebeka. There are some very special
ops going down right here on US soil in DC as well. If you
are a fan of thrillers JASON BOURNE IMPERATIVE is one that
is hard to put down. You will not be disappointed.
The man Jason Bourne fishes out of the freezing sea is near
death, half-drowned and bleeding profusely from a gunshot
wound. He awakens with no memory of who he is or why he was
shot-and Bourne is eerily reminded of his own amnesia. Then
Bourne discovers that the Mossad agent named Rebeka is so
determined to find this injured man that she has gone off
the grid, cut her ties to her agency, and is now being
stalked by Mossad's most feared killer. Do the answers to
these mysteries lie back in southeast Lebanon, in a secret
encampment to which Bourne and Rebeka escaped following a
firefight weeks ago?
The complex trail links to the mission given to Treadstone
directors Peter Marks and Soraya Moore: find the semi-
mythic terrorist assassin known as Nicodemo.
In the course of Bourne's desperate, deadly search for a
secret that will alter the future of the entire world, he
will experience both triumph and loss, and his life will
never be the same.
Now everything turns on the amnesiac. Bourne must learn
his identity and purpose before both he and Rebeka are
killed. From Stockholm to Washington, D.C., from Mexico
City to Beijing, the web of lies and betrayals extends into
a worldwide conspiracy of monumental proportions.
