Eric Van Lustbader: El legado de BourneJason Bourne era el espía perfecto, una máquina entrenada para acabar sin el menor pestañeo con quien se interpusiera en su camino, pero tras esa fachada se escondia un hombre que habia perdido la memoria y la identidad.

Hoy dia es maestro de Reiki de segundo nivel y reside con su esposa Victoria en Long Island.Robert LudlumNacido en 1927 en Nueva York y fallecido en 2001 en Napoles, Ludlum fue la principal figura del thriller de aventuras internacionales del siglo XX gracias a sus treinta novelas y los cerca de trescientos millones de ejemplares que de ellas se han vendido en todo el mundo.

Convertido en el pacífico profesor universitario David Webb, Jason Bourne debe recuperar su talento como agente secreto de alto nivel para dilucidar el homicidio de un ex alumno de su amigo y mentor, el profesor Specter. Al parecer, el joven ha muerto a manos de la Legion Negra, una hasta el momento desconocida secta musulmana relacionada con los dias mas oscuros de la segunda guerra mundial. Entre los planes de la Legion Negra figura un atentado en los Estados Unidos, lo que pone a la organizacion en la mira de las organizaciones de inteligencia, tambien muy interesadas en librarse para siempre de la incomoda presencia de Bourne. Mientras su investigacion lo lleva de los elegantes despachos de Washington a los recovecos mas siniestros de las ex republicas sovieticas, Bourne debe enfrentarse tambien a Leonid Arkadin, su archienemigo y un agente secreto tan habil, y tan torturado, como el mismo.

When Covert-One's top operative Jon Smith wakes in a hotel room, he's staring down the barrel of a gun. The area is under terrorist attack and within minutes, bombs explode right across the city. In this perfectly formulated chaos, criminal warlord Oman Dattar, held for crimes against humanity, escapes while his men attempt to steal a new strain of deadly bacteria being showcased at an international conference. In the wrong hands it has the power to devastate nations - and Dattar and his men have it firmly in their sights to use in their plot to bring down the West once and for all. Can Jon Smith stop him or is it already too late?

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 convinces 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...

As Smith and Russell investigate, they're blocked by someone who seems to have access to the highest levels of the military. Is the Merge really as secure as its creator claims? And what is the Pentagon so desperate to hide? Smith and Russell are determined to learn the truth - but will they pay with their lives...?

Reformed from his days of covert-operations, Paul Janson has set a new mission for himself. Working in partnership with champion sharpshooter Jessica Kincaid, he rehabilitates disenchanted agents and helps them create new lives outside of the violent intelligence sector.

When oil executive Kingsman Helms begs Janson to rescue his wife, Allegra, from Somali pirates, Janson and Kincaid seize the opportunity. At last they can derail American Synergy Corporation's scheme to subvert sovereign nations into wholly-owned subsidiaries. But the pirates are the least lethal threat in the violent chaos of oil-rich East Africa, and when Janson and Kincaid stumble into a bewildering storm of plots and counterplots, they begin to fear that the only way to escape would be to abandon the innocent Allegra.
