The Bourne Legacy
Read an Excerpt | Audio/Video Interviews
2004 was a landmark year for Jason Bourne. The Estate of Robert Ludlum turned to Ludlum’s friend, bestselling author Eric Van Lustbader to bring Jason Bourne back to life in a thrilling new novel, The Bourne Legacy. The novel coincided with the release of the film, “The Bourne Supremacy,” starring Matt Damon. The synergy worked, book and film propelling each other to new heights of popularity. While The Bourne Legacy achieved instant Bestseller status the film was shattering the box-office record set by the 2002 film "The Bourne Identity."
Jason Bourne is known and feared in the deadly world of covert-ops as one of the most highly skilled assassins for hire. Bourne, however, was merely an identity assumed by CIA agent David Webb, a personality implanted by the CIA to facilitate a dangerous operation, but one that threatened to subsume David Webb entirely.
Years after the events of The Bourne Identity, Webb is no longer an active CIA agent and is now a professor of Eastern Studies at Georgetown University, living a quiet life, far from the dangers of his previous life. Until one day he finds himself the target of an assassin nearly as skilled as himself and is framed for the brutal murder of his two closest associates and friends. Fighting for his life against unseen assailants, as well as the full resources of the CIA who believe he has gone dangerously rogue, the Bourne identity asserts itself, leaving Jason Bourne in control. Now Bourne must use all his skills to stay alive as he battles against a determined assassin, the combined skills of the world's intelligence networks, and a shadowy figure in the background, skillfully manipulating events and people, in a far deadlier and more dangerous game than any of them realize.
Jason Bourne was the star of three of Ludlum's own #1 bestselling novels - The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy, and The Bourne Ultimatum - and they remain among Ludlum's most-read and most-loved books to this day. No other Ludlum character has so captured and held the world's imagination. Under Eric Van Lustbader’s expert guidance, Jason Bourne returns for his most edge-of-the-seat adventure to date and another wild ride on world-wide Bestseller Lists.
