His girlfriend was killed during a fight for which an enraged Arkadin blames Bourne. In The BOURNE DECEPTION, Arkadin hunted Bourne to take revenge and kill him. Bourne, in a fight for his life, learned that Arkadin's skills mirror Jason's because he received the same original CIA Treadstone training. Now, in THE BOURNE OBJECTIVE, Jason will turn the tables and target Arkadin. Hunter will become hunted. But revenge can cause great psychological devastation. Has this become too personal for Bourne? Will this hunt be Bourne's downfall?

When Bourne is ambushed and badly wounded, he fakes his death and goes into hiding. In safety, he takes on a new identity, and begins a mission to find out who tried to assassinate him. Jason begins to question who he really is, how much of him is tied up in the Bourne identity, and what he would become if that was suddenly taken away from him. Meanwhile, an American passenger airliner is shot down over Egypt by what seems to be an Iranian missile. A massive global investigative team is assembled to get at the truth of the situation before it can escalate into an international scandal. Jason Bourne's search for the man who shot him intersects with the search for the people that brought down the airliner, leading Bourne into one of the most deadly and challenging situations he has ever encountered. With the threat of a new world war brewing, Bourne finds himself in a race against time to uncover the truth and find the person behind his assault, all the while being stalked by his unknown nemesis.

Video of the attack shows even women and children possessing almost supernatural speed and strength, consumed with a rage that makes them immune to pain, fear, and all but the most devastating injuries.Covert-One’s top operative, army microbiologist Colonel Jon Smith, is sent to investigate the attack and finds evidence of a parasitic infection that for centuries has been causing violent insanity and then going dormant. This time, though, it’s different. The parasite had been purposely kept alive and crudely transmitted in acts of terrorism.

      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.

      American investment banker Ben Hartman arrives in Zurich for a ski holiday, the first time he's been back to Switzerland since his twin brother died there in a tragic accident four years earlier. But his arrival in Zurich triggers something far more sinister than his brother's fate. When Ben chances upon Jimmy Cavanaugh, an old college friend, Cavanaugh promptly pulls out a gun and tries to kill him. In a matter of minutes, several innocent bystanders are dead - as well as Cavanaugh - and Ben has barely managed to survive. Plunged into an unspeakable nightmare, Hartman suddenly finds himself on the run. Department of Justice field agent Anna Navarro is being stalked around the world by a relentless killer, managing to survive the killer's attacks only by a combination of luck, skill and her own quick wits. These attacks are somehow related to her current assignment: investigating the sudden - and seemingly unrelated - deaths of a number of very old men throughout the world. The only thing that connects them is a file in the CIA archives, over a half-century old, marked with the same puzzling code word: SIGMA. But someone or something is always seemingly one step ahead of her, the survivors are rapidly dwindling, and her own life is in ever increasing danger

Der Mann hat jegliche Erinnerung an sein Leben verloren – eine unheimliche Parallele zu Bournes eigenem Schicksal. Die Lösung scheint in einem geheimen Mossad-Lager im Libanon zu liegen, wo Bourne sich zuvor versteckt hatte. Dort erkennt er einen zerstörerischen Plan, der nicht nur sein Leben, sondern die Sicherheit der Welt bedrohen könnte. Als der mysteriöse Mann, dem Bourne das Leben gerettet hat, das Bewusstsein wiedererlangt, greift er Bourne an und flüchtet. Rebekka, eine befreundete Mossad-Agentin, ist ebenfalls hinter dem Mann her, was das Rätsel noch komplizierter macht. In dem Mossad-Lager im Libanon finden sie eine erste Spur, die sie nach Mexiko führt. Dort entdecken Bourne und Rebekka den Flüchtigen im Haus eines mexikanischen Software-Magnaten. Sie machen eine schreckliche Entdeckung: Eine gefährliche Technologie steht kurz vor dem Abschluss und könnte in den falschen Händen verheerende Folgen haben. Die Spur des Komplotts reicht von Mexiko bis China und zu einem Energiekonzern, der bereit ist, über Leichen zu gehen, um den Markt zu dominieren. Bourne ist fest entschlossen, dem Treiben ein Ende zu setzen und stellt sich den dunklen Mächten entgegen, koste es, was es wolle.

Mais sur la Costa del Sol, une victime a murmuré, dans un dernier souffle, le nom de code d'un agent à la retraite, Brandon Scofield. Celui-ci a pénétré les défenses des Matarèse et en est ressorti vivant, d'où sa renommée légendaire.

      Jason Bourne is nagezeten door machtige regeringen - en wist te ontsnappen. Opgejaagd door de meest ervaren moordenaars in de wereld - en was ze te slim af. Doelwit van terroristen - en verstoorde hun plannen voor wereldwijde chaos. Nu wil Bourne maar één ding: wraak. Bournes vriend Eli Yadin, hoofd van de Mossad, leert dat Ouyang Jidan, een voornaam lid van het Politbureau van China, en een grote Mexicaanse drugsbaron, mogelijk handelen in iets dat veel dodelijker is dan drugs. Yadin overtuigt Bourne op onderzoek uit te gaan. Bourne gaat akkoord, maar alleen omdat hij een persoonlijke agenda heeft: Ouyang Jidan is de man die Rebeka - een van de weinige mensen om wie Bourne ooit echt gaf - liet vermoorden. Bourne is vastbesloten om haar dood te wreken, maar gaandeweg raakt hij verstrikt in een monsterlijk, wereldwijd complot waarbij de Chinezen, Mexicanen en Russen betrokken zijn. Bourne komt steeds dichter bij het wreken van de vrouw van wie hij hield, maar ook steeds dichter bij zijn eigen dood...
