Robert Ludlum: The Bourne Trilogy by Robert Ludlum, ISBN 9780752860398

> Fiction Books > General Books

Three classic Ludlum novels in one great value edition: 'The Bourne Identity', 'The Bourne Supremacy' and 'The Bourne Ultimatum'.

'The Bourne Identity'
He has no past. He may have no future. His memory is blank. He only knows that he was flushed out of the Mediterranean Sea, his body riddled with bullets. There are a few clues: evidence that plastic surgery has altered his face, a Swiss bank account containing four million dollars, and, at last, a name: Jason Bourne.

But now he is marked for death, racing for survival through the layers of his buried past into a bizarre world of murderous conspirators - led by the world's most dangerous assassin, Carlos. And no one can help Jason Bourne but the woman who once wanted to escape him.

'The Bourne Supremacy'
In a Kowloon Cabaret, scrawled in a pool of blood, is the name the world wanted to forget: Jason Bourne. The Chinese vice-premier has been brutally slain by a legendary assassin. World leaders ask the same fearful questions: Why has Jason Bourne come back? Who is the next to die?

But US officials know the truth: there is no Jason Bourne. The name was created as cover for David Webb in his search for the notorious killer, Carlos. Someone else has taken the Bourne identity and unless he is stopped, the world will pay a devastating price. So Jason Bourne must live again.

'The Bourne Ultimatum'
The world's two deadliest spies in the ultimate showdown. Two men, each mysteriously summoned by a telegram, witness a bizarre killing. The telegrams are signed Jason Bourne. Only they know Bourne's true identity and understand the telegram is really a message from Bourne's mortal enemy, Carlos, the world's deadliest and most elusive terrorist. Furthermore, they know that he wants a final confrontation with Bourne.

Now David Webb must do what he hoped he would never have to do again - assume the terrible identity of Jason Bourne. His plan is simple: to use himself as bait to lure Carlos into a deadly trap from which only one of them will escape.

About the Author: Robert Ludlum

Robert Ludlum (May 25, 1927 New York City - March 12, 2001 Naples, Florida) was an American author of 25 thriller novels. There are more than 290 million copies of his books in print, and they have been translated into 32 languages. Ludlum also published books under the pseudonyms Jonathan Ryder and Michael Shepherd. Some of Ludlum's novels have been made into films and mini-series, including The Osterman Weekend, The Holcroft Covenant, The Apocalypse Watch, The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum. A non-Ludlum book supposedly inspired by his unused notes, Covert One: The Hades Factor, has also been made into a mini-series. The Bourne movies, starring Matt Damon in the title role, have been commercially and critically successful (The Bourne Ultimatum won three Academy Awards in 2008), although the story lines depart significantly from the source material. Ludlum was educated at The Rectory School then Cheshire Academy and Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut. While at Wesleyan, Ludlum joined the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity. Prior to becoming an author, he had been a theatrical actor and producer. His theatrical experience may have contributed to his understanding of the energy, escapism and action that the public wanted in a novel. He once remarked: "I equate suspense and good theater in a very similar way. I think it's all suspense and what-happens-next. From that point of view, yes, I guess, I am theatrical." Ludlum died in 2001 of a subdural hematoma.
