Terror is sweeping the globe. The Chinese vice-premier has been brutally slain by a legendary assassin. World leaders ask the same fearful questions: 

          Why has Jason Bourne come back? 
          Who is paying him? 
          Who is the next to die? 

          But U.S. officials know the shocking truth: There is no Jason Bourne. The name was created as cover for David Webb on his search for the notorious killer Carlos. Someone else has taken the Bourne identity—and unless he is stopped, the world will pay a devastating price. 

          So Jason Bourne must live again. Once again, Webb must utilize his lethal skills—because once again, like a nightmare relived, the woman he loves is suddenly torn from his life. To find her, trap his own impostor, and uncover an explosive secret plan, Webb must lauch a desperate oddyssey into the espionage killing fields. But this time, survival will not be enough. This time Bourne must reign supreme.
