What if Jason Bourne remembered everything right from the very start? What would happen to his therapist and nurse that helped him through his post-trauma amnesia? Would the government that trained him want him and his friends to live now? What would he do to protect himself and the people who helped him from his ruthlessly efficient, former boss? Alexander J. Burns, a seasoned field operative, was stationed abroad and tasked with eliminating America’s most dangerous terrorists. Four years ago, he was injured en route to a critical mission and was sent home. With no memory of prior trainings and missions, his former handlers, the Department of Defense Foreign Intelligence Agency Operations Center, want him sedated and watched very carefully. Burns knows too much. They hope he never recovers, and that his secrets will remain forever undisclosed. With the help of Dr. David Caulfield, Burns does begin to remember and the agency is doing everything it can to stop him. Everyone Burns comes in contact with gets hunted down. Samantha, his nurse at the hospital, is almost murdered for asking too many questions; David, his hospital-appointed therapist, loses his sight; and David’s wife is killed as the result of a car bomb explosion. But Burns is not to be deterred. He creates a team with the people who are on the run as a result of contact with him, and they set out to compromise the security of the government on May 2. If he is successful, he and his friends might live on the run for the rest of their lives. If he fails, at least they will die quickly. US Review of Books declares his writing as taut suspenseful thriller sure to entice fans of Clancy, Flynn, and Ludlum, and Kirkus Review claims his narrative as An ambitious thriller that looks at the gray areas between vengeance and justice, law and morality.
