Eric Lustbader Libri

Jason Bourne è di fronte a una tragica scelta: una vita in cambio di una vita, il futuro politico del mondo in cambio della salvezza delle persone a lui più care. Ingaggiato da un ministro mediorientale per proteggerne l’incolumità, Bourne prende il suo posto per partecipare a un rischioso summit segreto in Qatar. Ma durante l’incontro un manipolo di terroristi uccide i partecipanti e lo cattura: la mente dell’attacco è lo spietato El Ghadan, uomo di spicco del terrorismo jihadista. Il patto è questo: l’agente segreto deve uccidere il presidente degli Stati Uniti prima che firmi uno storico trattato di pace fra Israele e Palestina, durante un vertice a Singapore. Se non lo farà, El Ghadan ucciderà chi ha fatto rapire: Soraya Moore, ex collaboratrice e intima amica di Bourne, e la sua bambina di due anni. L’uomo non può fare altro che accettare e infiltrarsi nella cellula terroristica di Ivan Borz, il temibile trafficante d’armi ceceno che sta organizzando l’attentato di Singapore. Un percorso strettissimo per salvare Soraya e il presidente e per portare a casa la pelle: perché più si addentra nei meandri oscuri della politica e del terrorismo, più Bourne scopre che forse le macchinazioni di El Ghadan non sono che una trappola per eliminarlo nel peggiore dei modi.

Su un altopiano nel cuore dell'Asia si trova Shan, il luogo sacro dove gli uomini vengono testati ei segreti più profondi del misticismo orientale sono rivelati. Entra nella sfida di Jake Maroc, un uomo di regali quasi soprannaturale, incaricato di aiutare la Cina ad adempiere il suo destino antico - come il futuro del mondo appende in equilibrio.

Il corpo di una donna che precipita dalle scale di un tempio balinese. E un anello d’oro inciso in una lingua dimenticata,un oggetto che l’assassino voleva a ognicosto. Nella mente di Jason Bourne questi sono gli ultimi ricordi di Holly Marie, e dell’uomo che l’ha uccisa. Per recuperare la memoria e decifrare la misteriosa iscrizione non gli resta che tornare a Bali,dove lo attende la profezia dello sciamano che già una volta gli ha salvato la vita: entro un anno Bourne morirà nel tentativo di proteggere una persona che ama. Una minaccia reale,dietro la quale si nasconde un nemico letale, pronto a tutto pur di mettere le mani sul gioiello e impossessarsi dell’arcano che custodisce da millenni. Per l’agente segreto è arrivato il momento di affrontare l’avversario più pericoloso: il suo passato.

È sfuggito agli assassini più spietati, agli emissari di dittatori senza scrupoli, ha sventato i piani di terroristi implacabili ed è entrato nel mirino dei governi di mezzo mondo. Ora – non importa a che prezzo, non importa con quali rischi – vendicare la morte di Rebeka, agente del Mossad uccisa da un misterioso assassino, è il solo obiettivo di Jason Bourne: lei è stata l’unica donna che abbia mai amato, e la sua scomparsa ha lasciato un dolore che rischia di soffocarlo. Quando il Mossad gli chiede di indagare su un ministro del governo cinese e un signore della droga messicano, Bourne ritorna sul campo per dare inizio alla sua personale, e letale, caccia al killer. Dal Medio Oriente alla Cina al Messico, una storia mozzafiato senza esclusione di colpi, per il celebre e irresistibile agente segreto senza passato.

Era stato l'agente Alex Conklin a salvare il professore David Webb dalla pazzia, dopo che aveva perso la moglie e i due figli, costruendo per lui l'identità segreta di Jason Bourne. Ora, dopo che l'ennesima pallottola ha rischiato di rubargli la memoria e la vita, David sta cercando faticosamente di tornare a essere soltanto il professor Webb dell'università di Georgetown. Ma il suo doppio passato continua a braccarlo: un cecchino senza volto lo osserva dalla finestra di un'aula vuota puntandogli addosso un fucile di precisione. Quando un proiettile gli sfiora la tempia, Jason Bourne è costretto a rientrare in azione. Gli unici che potrebbero aiutarlo a capire chi lo vuole morto, e perché, giacciono in una pozza di sangue sul tappeto dello studio di Conklin. E l'inizio di una spietata caccia all'uomo che proietta l'agente Bourne nel mirino del terrorismo internazionale prima, e in quello della giustizia federale poi. Troppo per chiunque, ma non per Jason Bourne.

Jason Bourne si è lasciato tutto alle spalle: la CIA, l'identità fittizia della quale era rimasto prigioniero e il dolore per la perdita della propria famiglia. Ma quando Martin Lindros, vicedirettore della Central Intelligence e suo amico, scompare durante un'azione in Etiopia, solo un cane sciolto come Bourne può scoprire cosa sia veramente successo, e sperare di salvargli la vita. Piagato dal ricordo degli agghiaccianti dettagli di un omicidio che teme di aver commesso, guardato a vista dagli stessi vertici CIA, che lo credono coinvolto nell'evasione di un pericoloso terrorista, braccato e solo come non mai, Bourne scoprirà di essere stato l'ignaro strumento nelle mani di una cellula terroristica che sta progettando un attentato di proporzioni inaudite al cuore dell'America. "La colpa di Bourne" è l'ultimo, appassionante capitolo delle avventure dell'immortale spia interpretata sul grande schermo da Matt Damon nei blockbuster "The Bourne Identity", "The Bourne Supremacy" e "The Bourne Ultimatum".

«In natura un verme ripugnante si trasforma in una bella farfalla. Ma quando si tratta di esseri umani, una bella farfalla si trasforma in un verme ripugnante.» In una squallida stanza dell'Ardi Dan Hotel di Saigon, dove una fioca lampadina non riesce a nascondere le crepe dell'intonaco, di fronte a una birra ormai tiepida, Nicholas Linnear, il leggendario e famoso eroe dei più fortunati romanzi di Lustbader, può a buon diritto rimuginare tra sé la cinica, fulminante notazione di Anton Cechov. Nicholas è in attesa del "suo" uomo, un misterioso "contatto" che secondo gli accordi dovrebbe chiarirgli le circostanze della morte violenta di Vincent Tinh, ex dirigente della Tomkin-Sato Industries, l'efficientissima azienda informatica di cui Linnear è comproprietario. Da tempo la Tomkin-Sato è vittima di un sofisticato spionaggio industriale, che le ha sottratto vitali segreti relativi a una nuova generazione di computer. E Nicholas sa che il suo ex collaboratore era tutt'altro che uno stinco di santo; ma vuole sapere chi l'ha ucciso, e perché. Le tracce portano a Saigon.

Eric Lustbader takes us to the cutting edge of technology with this unique novel of suspense. New York City Homicide Detective Jon Christopher has a perfect record bringing serial killers to justice, but now all that has changed: the genocidal maniac dubbed the Pale Saint has eluded him for 18 months. When Christopher's best friend, assistant D.A. Bobby Austin becomes the Pale Saint's latest victim, Christopher's need to catch the killer becomes of matter of personal obsession. Forced to take desparate measures in order to track down the Pale Saint, Christopher enlists an unexpected partner, the great lost love of his life, Austin's widow, Cassandra, a brilliant genetic engineer. Together they make a cataclysmic decision: they will create and train a clone of the Pale Saint, his mirror image, to become the human bullet that will bring the wily killer down. Eric Lustbader's new novel is an intense, breathless chase to root out and destroy the ultimate evil. And in redefining the age-old mysteries of love and death, loyalty and betrayal, sin and redemption, Pale Saint forces us to confront the most profound questions of our time: What defines a human being? What constitutes a family? What right do scientists have to breach the barrier of the unknown?

In un vortice di intrighi e omicidi efferati, tra teatri di guerra e metropoli mediorientali, l’agente segreto senza passato deve sventare una minaccia che incombe sul mondo intero, perché dove si incontrano soldi sporchi, terrorismo, fanatici religiosi e trafficanti d’armi, c’è l’ombra di un folle progetto politico.

Sequel to the bestselling The Testament. In a hidden cave in the mountains of Lebanon, a man makes a fateful discovery. He has been chosen to be the carrier, to bring what has been forbidden for thousands of years out of the darkness and into the light: the Testament of Lucifer.

Having staked his claim as a master of epic fantasy with The Ring of Five Dragons , Eric Van Lustbader now returns to his world of Kundala to unearth new riches of wonder and excitement in this second volume of The Pearl Saga. With the help of her friends, Riane, the prophesied redeemer known as the Dar Sala-at, saved Kundala from annihilation, preserving natives and V'ornn invaders alike. Together, the companions avenged terrible crimes and secured the Ring of Five Dragons, but their struggles have only just begun. The Ring averted doomsday, yet it did not open the magical Storehouse Door as expected. That sorcerous treasury remains sealed because of the spell cast by Giyan and her sister to migrate Annon Ashera's male V'ornn psyche into Riane's dying Kundalan female body. By combining them into a single being, it saved them both and fulfilled the prophecy that the Dar Sala-at would be "born at both ends of the cosmos." But the spell also breached the Abyss, releasing daemons imprisoned there aeons ago by the Goddess Miina who could wreak havoc on Kundala. Now the fiends must be vanquished, not only so the quest for the Pearl can continue, but to save Giyan, who has been possessed by the archdaemon Horolaggia. Their only hope is the fabled Veil of A Thousand Tears.

Because of a promise made to his father, Linnear finds himself allied to Mikio Okami, the Kaisho, or Godfather of the the Yakuza, the Japanese Mafia.

All of this is the result of an alliance between the Mafia and the Yakuza and machinations of the Looking Glass, a secret organization that has infiltrated the U.S. government and is dedicated to world economic control. But reproducing all the intricacies of Lustbader's plotting would be fruitless; like Robert Ludlum, Lustbader is at his best when he is creating a twisted web of intrigue, violence, double cross and his own brand of oriental esotericism. Here again he proves himself a master storyteller who creates believable characters while juggling numerous plot lines without ever losing the reader's attention.

Evan Ryder ist eine Einzelgängerin, eine der wenigen weiblichen Geheimagentinnen. Sie hat unsägliches Leid im Dienst für ihr Land erfahren. Ihre Mission führt sie von Washington in den Kaukasus, nach Österreich und schließlich ins Herz von Nemesis in den bayrischen Alpen. Ein komplexes Verschwörungskomplott tritt zu Tage, für das alte Frontlinien und Allianzen nicht mehr gelten und das Leben von Evan Ryder ebenso bedroht wie das Überleben der westlichen Demokratien.

Die Suche nach den Kindern führt die beiden von Washington über Moskau, Istanbul und Köln bis zu einer alten Kirche tief in den Karpaten und stellt alles in Frage, was Evan Ryder über sich selbst und ihre Familie zu wissen meint.
