The Bourne Idenitity by Robert Ludlum is about Jason Bourne a highly paid assassin but soon wants to change his ways and escape his past. But, sadly his past tracks him down each and every time he feels that he is out of danger. Jason Bourne is a man without a life story to tell other than he woke up riddled with bullet holes and no idea how he got where he is. Thanks to a piece of microfiche surgically embedded in his thigh, he finds out his name is Jason Bourne and he has a bank account in Zurich filled with millions of dollars that he begins to withdraw to help him live. As a result of this activity, however, an assassin named Carlos, who has apparently been his adversary for some time, is trying to hunt him down. Bourne must now try to escape with the aid of a Canadian economist named Marie St. Jacques who he initially kidnapped just to help him get out of the town and has now developed a strange romance with. Very suspenseful and exciting story that really does not date itself despite having been written in 1975. Ludlum takes great care in his descriptions of how the amnesia affects Bourne's thought process and actions as well as how certain facts about Bourne's past start to be slowly realized which make this book a good study in psychology as well as a great spy thriller.
Robert Ludlum has also made movies based on the Bourne Identity, the Bourne Supremecy and the final the Bourne Ultimatum. Amazingly he even made a game out of it wow! called the Bourne Conspiracy.
