Publisher Description

The Vice Premier of the People's Republic of China is brutally slain in a Kowloon cabaret, and all the clues point to the legendary assassin, Jason Bourne. But Bourne never existed! The name was created as a cover for ace agent David Webb on his search for the notorious killer Carlos. Now someone else has resurrected the Bourne identity, and Webb is forced to use his murderous skills to stop him. Because once again, like a nightmare relieved, the woman he loves is suddenly torn from his life. To find her, to trap his own impostor, Webb must launch a desperate odyssey into the killing fields of international espionage. If he does not succeed, the Far East and the world will pay a devastating price. This time, to survive will not be enough. This time, Bourne must reign supreme. Plus, hear a preview of Ludlum's riveting thriller The Bourne Ultimatum.

"Liked this book better than the first book. But they're all even better than the movies. Could have done without some of the violent descriptions and such. They are a tough read but so worth it. I couldn't put them down!"

    " Just loved the three Bourne books which are actually written by Robert Ludlum. These are clasic Ludlum - fast paced, thrilling, rollercoaster reads. A great read! "

    " I apologize because my reviews will be very shallow since I'm at work on my lunch break. I enjoyed this book because of the deep character development with the Bourne Identity/David Webb. The book starts out very fast especially when David Webb is transplanted back into society after his eye opening experience in the initial book. In this book, you notice that David Webb grasps the difference between the two identities and frequently he is forced through stress/trauma into his Delta/Bourne ego and that's the best part about the book. Through the course of the book, you are taken all around China while Bourne tracks down the kidnappers of his wife, of course with Ludlum the story spins out of control as it unravels violently towards the last page.

    " Have already seen the movie, sort of spoiled the book. In fact, I have bogged down and put the book aside. Not sure if this is just due to having seen the movie (which is substantially different than the book) or would have happened anyway... "

    " Oh man, might as well be the best action book ever. The climax is pretty much the coolest thing ever wth Bourne killing and blowing up EVERYTHING and could easily fit a 2 hour movie on its own. "
