Jason Bourne is now working as a 'blacksmith' - someone who is hired by high-level government ministers fearful of assassination attempts. He is paid to impersonate these men at meetings in places of uncertain security around the globe. Bourne is at one such meeting when armed gunmen storm the room - but their target is not the minister he impersonates, it is Bourne himself. Kidnapped and transported to an underground bunker, Bourne finds himself face-to-face with a well-known terrorist, a man who calls himself El Ghadan ('Tomorrow'). El Ghadan demands that Bourne carry out a special mission for him - one, that if completed, will have dire consequences for the entire world.

Druhá kůže je poslední ve volné řadě novel o Nicholasu Linearovi - Ninja, Miko, Kaišó a Plovoucí Město. Na scénu znovu vstupuje i Mikio Okami - Kaišó, tedy bos bosů Jakuzy. Ústřední dějovou osu napínavého příběhu tvoří bj mafiánských gangů o převratný vynález spojovací techniky "Cybernet", vraždy rituálním pěstním nožem a ve finále i úsilí o získání zásadního vlivu na ekonomiku v globálním měřítku. Autor tradičně střídá lokality od Japonska a Spojených států až po tetrospektivní návraty do válečné reality Jihovýchodní Asie. Hluboká znalost orientálního myšlení charakterizující všechna Lustbaderova díla vyniká i v této novele.

A novel of suspense and mystical adventure in China from the New York Times-bestselling author of Jian and the Nicholas Linnear series. A martial arts expert and former agent of the top secret US government agency known as the Quarry, Jake Maroc has experienced great betrayal and tragedy. Caught up in a game of shifting loyalties, assassins, and power hungry nations, he knows there are few he can trust. Now part of Hong Kong's yuhn-hyun, the inner circle that will someday control all of Asia, Jake is poised to lead China to fulfill its ancient destiny. On a plateau in the heart of the Burmese highlands lies Shan, the holy site where men are tested and the deepest secrets of Eastern mysticism are revealed. It is here that Jake will face his greatest challenge as the fate of the world hangs in the balance. From a master known for his continuation of Robert Ludlum's legendary Jason Bourne thrillers, as well as numerous other bestsellers, Shan is "a Far East Arthurian epic, laden with . . . dragons, mountains, fire . . . and a story line mined with mystical aphorisms" (The Wall Street Journal).

After Bourne is ambushed and nearly killed while in Indonesia, he fakes his death to take on a new identity and mission- to find out who is trying to assassinate him. In the process, Bourne begins to question who he really is and what he would become if he no longer carried the Bourne identity. Across the globe, an American passenger airliner is shot down over Egypt-apparently by an Iranian missile-leaving the world wondering if it was an accident or an act of aggression. A massive global team lead by Soraya Moore is assembled to investigate the attack before the situation escalates. When Bourne's search for his would-be assassin intersects with Soraya's search for the group behind the airplane bombing, Bourne is thrust into a race to prevent a new world war. But it may already be too late.

Still reeling from Rebeka's death, Bourne is drawn back into the fight between the Mexican cartels when he learns that his nemesis Ouyang Jidan is involved. Determined to discover the connection between the Chinese official Ouyang and a deceased drug lord, Bourne sets off for Shanghai...where he'll face his greatest threat to date...
