Three thrilling Bourne novels in one volume
Product Description
THE BOURNE LEGACY: After the events of THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM, David Webb is now living a peaceful life as a university professor in the backwoods of America with his wife and children. But from the other side of the world someone is planning to take him out of the game forever. A deadly assassin is on his trail and his former handler has been brutally murdered. It seems that David Webb must once again turn to Jason Bourne to save his life and his family... THE BOURNE BETRAYAL: Jason Bourne takes a mission to rescue his only friend in the CIA, Martin Lindros, who disappeared in Africa while tracking nuclear shipments. Once safely back in America, Lindros persuades Bourne to help track the money trail of terrorists buying the nuclear material. But is the man he saved really Martin Lindros? Suddenly Bourne is on his own - gathering evidence, while trying to stay one step ahead of the terrorists who are determined to destroy the USA... THE BOURNE SANCTION: When an unknown terrorist organisation comes up on Central Intelligence radar, they have no choice but to employ a rogue agent capable of hunting down a shadowy terrorist mastermind on his own - Jason Bourne. Suddenly Bourne is plunged into the deadliest and most tangled operation of his double life: pursuing the head of a murderous terror group, while an assassin as brilliant and damaged as himself is getting closer by the minute...

Good book, interesting plots, kept me engrossed all the way through.
The only criticism, as it was in one volume, I found it rather difficult to hold whilst reading. I would have preferred three volumes.
Will pass it on and hope that a few films are made.

Classic Bourne, a great read, albeit that the 'scrapes' that Bourne gets into and then out of are slightly unbelievable. The man has more lives than a cat :-))

Having never really been a reader of this genre, in the past few months I've read the original Bourne Trilogy followed by these books in quick succession. Upon completion of the original trilogy I browsed the reviews on this website and I have to admit I was put off these books slightly, and now I've finished the books it's fair to say that many of the reviews make many good points. Van Lustbader pretty much severs all ties with the first trilogy within the first few chapters of 'The Bourne Legacy' and almost immediately you can sense Bourne is a different character to the one that had been developed in Ludlum's books. As well as this some of the plots are ridiculously far fetched (the Lindros story in Bourne Betrayal I found particularly difficult to believe. As well as this there is the issues of Bourne's age, must be getting on for 70 by now!!
However despite these negatives I found these books to be extremely enjoyable, the stories move quite quickly so you never sense that you're just treading water, the plots are exciting and you don't really know who will turn out to be good or bad until right at the end. To use a very cliched term they are real page-turners, I read these far quicker than any of the books in the original trilogy which I found did move a bit too slow.
To summarise if you're looking to a direct follow on to the original series you may be disappointed, but if you come in with an open mind and embrace the story you're in for an excting read with twists and turns a plenty.

The Bourne Legacy first title in The Second Bourne Trilogy
I am enjoying reading the first story in this trilogy but the writing is annoying me. Mr van Lustbader is a good author but is no way as good as Ludlum was. Read more

Second Bourne Trilogy
I'm a Bourne fan. Didn't realise all three came bound as one - a bit heavy to hold for holiday reading. Can't wait for the films.

Very small print
Love the Bourne stories. However, if you cannot read very small print buy these books separately, as the print in this collect is very small about a size 6 font.

Bourne 2nd Trilogy
Very good product/book. Quite bulky & heavy though & awkward to hold when reading in bed.

Great but not as good as the first trilogy
Just like his last trilogy, Robert Ludlum knows how to create suspense that makes you want to read the book until it is finished (I tried but at 00:15, I realised the obvious - its... Read more
