The Bourne Vendetta is a slick and sexy action-packed rampage that’s gonna give you all the adrenaline boost you need to get through the day.
When a hacked database causes intelligence communities to be upended due to highly sensitive operations being made clear to unsavory parties all over the world, a mission is put together to quickly seal the leak. With all major players vying to get their hands on the hacked files, the new head of Treadstone brings Jason Bourne into the fold once again on a time sensitive mission to either retrieve the files or destroy them before they continue to exchange hands across multiple syndicates and organizations that leave the intelligence agencies at the mercies of those powerful entities. But it’s not just Bourne on the hunt for the files. He’s going to meet his past head-on in more ways than one before he can finish his mission.
Even though the mystique about Bourne’s past has largely been diminished due to the previous books, Brian Freeman does a stellar job of steering the series to new directions and locations by evolving Bourne as a character beyond his past. Not only is Bourne evolving but so are his opponents. Techno-savvy bad guys make the playing field difficult for Jason Bourne’s gun-toting style, leading him to play it more with brains than brawn. That’s not to say that Freeman doesn’t write some really cool moments set to the beat of guns blazing and bones crunching. The action is plentiful and highly entertaining with a gravitas we appreciate in spy action thrillers.
As Jason Bourne makes peace with his old relationships and takes a bold new step into the future, I can’t help but get excited to see where Jason Bourne is headed next and Freeman continues to show his awesome storytelling expertise in crafting taut and thrilling stories that bridge the gap between old school readers and modern fans of the revitalized Jason Bourne.
