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.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Jason Bourne is prepared to confront any threat—except for the truth. Pulled out of the ocean by a passing fishing trawler, half-drowned and shot multiple times, he wakes up with almost no memory of who he is. Soon enough, he discovers that he’s fluent in several languages, proficient in martial arts, and an expert with almost any firearm. His mission to discover who he is and why he’s the target of a high-level global conspiracy is a heart-pounding, one-of-a-kind mystery laced with deadpan humor. Set against a backdrop of breakneck action and high-stakes international intrigue, Robert Ludlum’s hit novel asks the eternal philosophical question “Who am I?”
Customer Reviews
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.
Awesome.
This is a little better than the movie. There is much action and suspense. I highly recommend this to all ages over 10.
The Bourne Identity
Searching through books and stuff and I find this. It reminds of a song I listen to that has the same name. I read the summary of the book and I look at the lyrics of the song to see if the song (released in 2016) is based off the book (released in 1984). Guess what?? It is!! I love the song and I might get this book. (The song is of the same name by The Last Shadow Puppets.)
