Review: The Treadstone Resurrection, Joshua Hood.

The main character, Adam Hayes, is an ex- CIA Treadstone operative who is trying to make a new life for himself, and convince his ex-wife that he can still be a good father to their son. However, this all gets turned upside down when assassins turn up to a house he is working on and Hayes narrowly escapes with his life. 

The cause of this is that Adam has received an email from an old colleague that would, if exposed, lead to hugely significant consequences for American foreign policy in South America and send shockwaves throughout the U.S. government. 

For a while, Adam has no idea who he is investigating or running away from; all he knows is that he needs to survive. Bringing all of his old skills to bear, the result is a high-octane reader's experience that gives Bourne fans exactly what they love but in a new way. The action hardly ever lets up - in some cases, it becomes implausible but that stands to reason within this universe. The plot is well executed with more than a few twists and turns that will leave its readers satisfied at its conclusion. 

This story is written by Joshua Hood, who is a former Airborne Division Fighter. There is plenty of technical jargon in the book, especially when it comes to the weapons, so it makes sense that it's written by someone with clear, in-depth knowledge. 

The Treadstone Resurrection is an explosive new entry in the Bourne Universe that gives an action-packed, page-turning experience that will leave readers eagerly awaiting Adam Hayes' next mission - whether the character wants it or not.
