Jason Bourne returns to Georgetown University and the mild world of his alter ego, David Webb, hoping for normalcy. But after so many adrenaline-soaked years of risking his life, Bourne finds himself chafing under the quiet life of a linguistics professor.
Aware of his frustrations, his academic mentor, Professor Specter, asks for help investigating the murder of a former student by a previously unknown Muslim extremist sect. The young man died carrying information about the group's terrorist activities, including an immediate plan to attack the United States.
The organization, the Black Legion, and its lethal plot have also popped up on the radar of Central Intelligence, where new director Veronica Hart is struggling to assert her authority. Sensing an opportunity to take control of CI by showing Hart's incompetence, National Security Agency operatives plan to accomplish what CI never could-hunt down and kill Bourne.
In Europe, Bourne's investigation into the Black Legion turns into one of the deadliest and most tangled operations of his double life-the pursuit of the leader of a murderous terrorist group with roots in the darkest days of World War II-all while an assassin as brilliant and damaged as himself is getting closer by the minute . . .

The “fourth” story of the fith column is Ronin reincarnated. (This is actually the third by the second author van Lustbader, and sixth in title series, Ludlum having done the trilogy for which the movies were named.) Rumors of the death of Cold War fiction have been exaggerated. Who is how the author adds a timely twist to the familiar tensions. This book introduces Arkadin, an flawless version of Bourne, the pair cursed to collide. 45 chapters narrate WWII enemy the Black Legion reactivated, DCI enmeshed in civil war, the Fort Meade mob semantically shading the stage, and popular prescient cyber-psychouts of surveillance and tracking. A character named Moira shares Bourne’s romantic fate. To win, he again has to traverse a series of novel NDEs and find the foe amid a kaleidoscope of recollections. Thanks. (show less)

J'ai acheté "The Bourne Sanction" pour mon voyage. J'ai déjà lu les trois livres de Ludlum sur Jason Bourne et j'étais très contente de pouvoir les lire. Alors, même s'il y a un co-auteur, je pensais que ceci sera bien. Tant que les précedents.
En fait, je ne suis pas sûre quoi écrire de ma part. D'un côté, j'étais contente de pouvoir lire un autre livre qui décrit des "aventures" de Jason Bourne... De l'autre, je suis déçue par le nombre des luttes. Parfois, j'ai vraimen... (show more)J'ai acheté "The Bourne Sanction" pour mon voyage.

En fait, je ne suis pas sûre quoi écrire de ma part. D'un côté, j'étais contente de pouvoir lire un autre livre qui décrit des "aventures" de Jason Bourne... De l'autre, je suis déçue par le nombre des luttes. Parfois, j'ai vraiment dû arrêter de lire. Je comprends que je suis une fille mais... Ceci ne dit pas que j'arrête facilement de lire des bons thrillers etc. où il y a un peu plus de sang...
Par contre, ce qui me plaisait était la fin. Elle m'a surpris totalement et je trouve qu'elle peut ouvrir un nouveau livre du cycle. Esperons, que le suivant sera mieux ! (show less)Already read

This novel moves at a fast pace as you expect it would in the world of spies, crooked politicians, power hungry businessmen, assassins and everything in between. Jason Bourne was not the complex character I've come to expect. He trusted people too easily and quickly. The story is good, its great being in this alternate universe with Jason Bourne again as he tries to unravel who is the Black Legion and what attack are they are planning.

This novel moves at a fast pace as you expect it would in the world of spies, crooked politicians, power hungry businessmen, assassins and everything in between. Jason Bourne was not the complex character I've come to expect. He trusted people too easily and quickly. The story is good, its great being in this alternate universe with Jason Bourne again as he tries to unravel who is the Black Legion and what attack are they are planning. With various twists and turns, which are somewhat predictable, the different levels to this story helped to make the book a good read and for the most part worth the read. (show less)
