Robert Ludlum – The man behind the Bourne trilogy

Those with an interest in the action-adventure genre will love reading the fiction adventure novels of Robert Ludlum. Among the most eminent thriller writers of his time, he also was the creator of the very popular Bourne trilogy (later made into the blockbuster Bourne movie series).


The features that make his novels so engrossing are his combination of nail-biting suspense with attention to meticulous detail. Every single novel of his made it to the #1 New York best seller list, too.Here is a peek at the first two novels that set the benchmark for spy novels.


The Bourne Identity

The novel begins with a doctor finding an unconscious man in a desolate area. While the doctor treats him he finds the man has many scars, old wounds and surgeries and no clue about his identity. Upon regaining consciousness the man has no recollection of the past. An engrossing book, it teases the reader with multiple questions and the piecemeal unravelling of the man’s identity.


The Bourne Supremacy

The suspense continues when the man Jason remembers bit and pieces of his life. While he has periodic flashbacks he sets about unravelling his identity. Along the way,he has to stop a man who is copying his mannerisms and style while executing people. Jason has the task of stopping this assassin. Like with the first novel, the beginning is slow but picks up the pacelater!
