Already devastated by loss, Bourne is shattered by a report that his last friend in the world, Martin Lindros, has gone missing. A Central Intelligence Agency deputy director, Lindros was in Ethiopia tracking suspicious shipments of yellowcake uranium and atomic bomb weaponry. Bourne will not let go of Lindros, his last lifeline to humanity. Despite his hatred for CI, Bourne sets out to rescue his friend and finish the job: dismantling a terrorist network- one determined to build nuclear armaments -by cutting off their source of money. But Bourne doesn't realize that these men, Islamics supremacists, are leaders of an incredibly dangerous, technologically savvy group with ties to Africa, throughout the Middle East, and into Eastern Europe and Russia. They have predicted Bourne's every move and are counting on his unwitting help in their plans to destroy America.
