His memory is a blank. His bullet-ridden body was fished from the Mediterranean Sea. His face has been altered by plastic surgery. A frame of microfilm has been surgically implanted in his hip. Even his name is a mystery. Marked for death, he is racing for survival through a bizarre world of murderous conspirators—led by Carlos, the world’s most dangerous assassin. Who is Jason Bourne? The answer may kill him.

BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Supremacy.

    Tremendous book. Intricate plot is not for someone in search of quick read. Ludlum doesn’t disappoint with deep plot. Highly recommend the first three Bourne books and all Ludlum novels written before he passed.
  • not the same as the movie

    I love these movies. It's been awhile since I've watched them, but unless I'm confused, the book is very different. I wasn't crazy about the romance aspect for much of it. Actually a portion of the story lost me for awhile, but I was really into it by the end. I'm sure where the story is going from here into book 2, but I'm looking forward to finding out.

    Is much more complex than the movie and more engaging. The writing tends to ramble at times, but be not deceived! This is a very good story and he span of the plot and characters is impressive, not over produced, not cut short. Very good read, stay with it if you like me almost pit it down, the writing is worthy of your perseverance.

    This book was boring. No that much action. I planned on reading the whole series after watching the movies. I was very disappointed in this first book.

    Excellent book. I am not a reader, but thought I would try a book on Vacation. I could not put it down. Hollywood should make a movie of it. I know they did, and I loved them, but this is much better. 5 Stars.
