Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Retribution Description
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 . . .

Criss-crossing cities, countries and continents - from the Middle East to Mexico, and to China, The Bourne Retribution continues the saga of one of the most popular and compelling characters in modern fiction. Eric Van Lustbader masterfully writes a tale of loss, betrayal and vengeance in this latest Bourne novel.
In The Bourne Retribution, the story begins a month after Rebeka's funeral and Jason Bourne is still mourning her death. Rebeka's death throbbed like an internal wound that refused to heal. When the director of Mossad, Eli Yadin, asks him to investigate the rumor of Ouyang Jidan, a senior member of China's Politburo, and Mexico's drug cartel trafficking something deadlier than drugs, he finds the opportunity to fulfill a brutal vendetta: to kill the man who ordered the killing of Rebeka.
Bourne is assigned to work alongside Eden Mazar, Mossad's anti-terrorist specialist, and Carlos Danda Carlos, the newly appointed chief of Mexico's anti-drug enforcement agency. A fearless reformer, Carlos is determined to free his country from the death grip of the deeply entrenched corruption and the powerful drug cartels. It was at his specific request that Mossad steps in.
But when Eden Mazar and two of his bodyguards were killed in Las Penas in a deceitful betrayal by Carlos, a wounded Bourne realizes that he is treading on treacherous ground. It also forces him to have a relook at his life, and how he can always fall back on resuming his professorship at Georgetown University where he teaches comparative linguistics. But he cannot let Rebeka's death go unavenged. Shaking off the blackness he spring back to life, to work as it was meant to, and finish his unaccomplished mission.
