A scene that is familiar to Jason Bourne. He is on the Mediterranean Sea and he losses his memory. This time it is due to a firefight and a bomb that blows up his ship. Bourne retraces his steps back to the alcoholic doctor that helped his many years ago when he first lost his memory. As he begins to regain some of his memories, he comes to realize that his soulmate was also on the ship, may have perished when the bomb exploded. To make things even more complicated, his former boss and father figure, David Abbott, who Bourne thought was dead. Is alive and missing. The head of Treadstone, Shadow, makes contact, and asks Jason to help find Abbott.
I have to admit, after reading the first couple chapters where Jason Bourne loses his memory again, I thought this book was going to be awful. I thought having Bourne lose his memory again was cliche and repetitive. It turns out the concept grew on me, and I really enjoyed this installment in the series. There was enough variation to make this memory loss believable and different from the first time.
The book itself was fast paced, and provided a good amount of action. The dynamic between Bourne and Shadow was intriguing. You never knew if it was a love or hate relationship. There were a couple of nice twists during the story, and the ending was solid. It really wrapped up this storyline, and allows Jason Bourne to move on. I look forward to the next installment in the Jason Bourne Series. Thank you to NetGalley, Brian Freeman, and Penguin Group Putnam for a free advanced readers copy for an honest review.

Another good read in the Bourne series. I have not read all the books in the Bourne series and was able to follow the book easily. Lots of action and a fun read. Thank you Netgalley and Putnam Books for allowing me to review this book.

The Bourne Escape doesn't have Jason Bourne going after criminal masterminds, here he is dealing with office politics! Yes, even Treadstone operators cannot trust anyone else in the operation, yet they manage to work together when it suits their purpose. Otherwise they are often at odds. Credit author Brian Freeman for creating this Bourne novel with a different point of view. He adds interesting settings and dramatic battles to go with the cast of colorful characters.
Thanks NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

Despite a plethora of action and several exciting scenes, I did not find this book compelling. The book is very similar to others in this series with Jason Bourne awakening one day to find he has amnesia. I also found it extremely disconcerting to have many of the major characters constantly referred to by different names —- Jason Bourne as David Webb and Cain —- Shadow as Marlen and Monika —- Johanna as Annie —- David Abbott as Monk. I cannot recommend this book to others but, nevertheless, thank NetGalley and Putnam for the opportunity to read this book prior to publication.

This book starts where the previous author ended with Bourne and Joanna escaping the world on a boat. Of course the world find them causing more and more problems. This book is mainly set in Europe and fills in a lot of backstory we’ve never known. Can’t wait for you to read it!

Brain Freeman writes his darkest and most thrilling bourne adventure yet as he retreads his past with a new twist. It’s a bold move and one that keeps a renewed interest in the series. While the retread is unconventional, it works to keep the momentum going.

Jason Bourne is back and if possible, better than ever.
When he and his lover Joanna are blown out of the water while cruising on their yacht in
the Mediterranean, he is rescued by a group of local fishermen who attempt to blackmail
him into paying them millions or risk being turned over to people who are looking
for him, he does what Jason Bourne does best: he overtakes them and goes hunting.
Having lost bits and pieces of his memory once again, as a result of the explosion at sea, he
starts looking for the people who were behind Joanna's death, while renewing old relationships
as he moves along, always in the shadows, just trying to stay alive.
Great story with non stop, riveting action and visits from characters in his past
who begin to reappear in his present, just as his memory also begins to.
Another fabulous Bourne thriller that you can not put down.
My only regret is not being able to give it 10 stars.
But I think I shall, anyway, right here:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
