The Bourne Deception is the seventh novel in Ludlum's Bourne series. It is the sequel to 'The Bourne Sanction'. This one covers the continuous fight between protagonist Jason Bourne and his arch enemy, Arkadin. Bourne, having been attacked dangerously, fakes his death and goes undercover to search for the person behind the assault. Parallel to this story is that of a passenger airline being shot down and the investigation team's hunt for the group responsible. As the two stories merge, the pace of the book quickens to reveal Bourne's secret attackers. Fast-paced and engrossing, this book makes for a good thriller.
