What this book is about
The second Jason Bourne novel sends the former assassin into the intricate politics of Hong Kong and the Chinese mainland, where an impostor is using his name and methods. Ludlum's thriller is dense with tradecraft, double-crosses, and Cold War geopolitical complexity. The action sequences are propulsive, the plotting is characteristically intricate, and the violence is significant throughout. A solid sequel that expands the Bourne universe geographically and politically.
