Bourne Identity - Robert Ludlum Author - Documentary

The spy thriller opens as an amnesiac is rescued at sea by the crew of an Italian fishing boat. Nearly dead, he carries nothing but the bullets in his back and the bank account number embedded in his hip. Although completely without identity or background, he possesses an array of extraordinary talents in fighting, linguistics and self-defense that speaks of a dangerous past. In the present he is disoriented and wary as he is propelled into an urgent search to discover who he is and why his life has taken a perilous turn. A Zurich safe deposit box yields an assortment of passports, a hefty load of cash, an automatic weapon and a name--Jason Bourne--with a Paris address. What it means remains a mystery, but Bourne quickly realizes that although he knows no one, there are people who recognize him--and do not wish him well. When he meets Marie Kreutz, a hard-luck German-born wanderer, he makes a desperate pitch--$10,000 for a ride to Paris. Despite her reservations, Marie takes the cash and begins a journey with Bourne that changes her life forever. The trail of Jason Bourne's past snakes from Europe to CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, where Treadstone, a clandestine operation is based. As Bourne and Marie struggle to stay below the radar in France, all of the stealthy muscle of Treadstone is focused on tracking them and neutralizing Bourne as quickly and efficiently as possible.

I was very please to come across this video. I love Robert Ludlum. In 2007 I read my first Ludlum novel, wanted to read every book he had written. I'd buy a few books at a time and when I finished reading them, I was like a junkie needing a fix--in my case it was another Robert Ludlum novel. Before reading any of his novels I had probably read only10 books in my life. I was 53. Now, I have read all 27 Ludlum novels, plus the 5 books with co-authors. I still read daily; same genre authors.

@voxnulla First off, comparing Ludlum to Eco, Po and Prattchet is a completely ridiculous concept, very different writers in very different areas of literature. Second, the movies do not follow the plot of the books whatsoever so comparing THEM is also irrelevant. Go write something better before arrogantly shutting down a hard working authors carreer.

@chirayuarc It's pulp, pure and simple. Perhaps Clancy is even worst, but Ludlum is purely flaccid and superficial tripe. See how the film adaptations of his books are empty and shallow. That says something about the emptiness of the drivel he wrote.

You could never compare a real writer like Eco, Po or Prattchet to the low life likes of Ludlem. This comment has more literary aspiration then the man's entire career.
