Jason Bourne is back in the forthcoming major motion picture starring Matt Damon and Alicia Vikander. Go back to where it all began for Bourne in his first adventure - The Bourne Identity
'Watch your back 007 - Bourne is out to get you' - Sunday Times
He was dragged from the sea, his body riddled with bullets. There are a few clues: a frame of microfilm surgically implanted beneath the skin of his hip; evidence that plastic surgery has altered his face; strange things he says in his delirium, which could be code words. And a number on the film negative that leads to a bank account in Zurich, four million dollars and a name for the amnesiac: Jason Bourne.
Now he is running for his life. A man with an unknown past and an uncertain future, the target of assassins and at the heart of a deadly puzzle. He's fighting for survival and no one can help him - except the one woman who once wanted to escape him ...

The film doesnt do this book any justice its barely comparable. This book and the following two are incredible, sadly Eric Van Lustbader just cant copy Ludlums intense genius.

Wish I had read this before the movie... all I can hear in my head is the Bourne theme tune.

A brilliantly plotted story that seems a little dated now but they did a superb update for the movie. Bourne is much more fleshed out in the book and Ludlum did a great job of slowly unravelling his past as he starts to realise who and what he is. Highly recommended.
