Brian Freeman- Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Evolution

from Speaking of Writers · host Steve Richards

About THE BOURNE EVOLUTION: After the death of his lover in a mass shooting, secret agent and the man without a past, Jason Bourne is convinced that there is more to her murder than it seems. Worse, he believes that Treadstone, the clandestine spy agency that trained him, is behind the killing. Bourne goes rogue, leaving Treadstone behind and taking on a new mission to infiltrate and expose Medusa, a shadowy, anarchical cyber-enemy intent on harvesting and controlling the world’s private information. As an independent operative, Bourne has been hired by a powerful cabal of tech executives who want him to stop the threat posed to their empire by the crusading young congresswoman Sofia Ortiz. When Ortiz is assassinated during a rally in New York’s Washington Square Park, it is assumed that Bourne is behind it. Bourne alone knows that someone else pulled the trigger. And that someone is now after him. Meanwhile, Abbey Laurent, a dogged Canadian journalist, has watched the assassination firsthand. Back in Quebec City, she awaits a rendezvous with an informant—Bourne—when she witnesses even more violent killing. Soon, Abbey is engaged in a cat-and-mouse game, not only with Bourne, but with an unknown killer. Despite her street smarts, the seasoned reporter can’t be sure who is telling her the truth and whom she can trust. When she reluctantly places her faith in the enigmatic Bourne, a cyclone of danger will take her and her mystery protector from Canada to the U.S. to the Caribbean—as Bourne tries to figure out who has framed him for the congresswoman’s murder and who exactly the real enemy is. www.BFreemanBooks.com Twitter: @bfreemanbooks Facebook: @bfreemanfans ABOUT THE AUTHORS Brian Freeman is a bestselling author of more than twenty novels, including the Jonathan Stride and Frost Easton series.
