Hi. I have watched the 3 Jason Bourne movies so far and I have become a fan. I never read those books. But now after having watched the 3 movies, I am so impressed, I have now bought the latest in the series: Bourne Sanction.

I have merely finished about first 120 pages and I must admit that nothing gives me more pleasure than reading the book and imagining Matt Damon doing the action scenes.

One other great feature of this book is that it does not require one to read previous books of this series (from my personal experience). So you can go ahead and directly start reading this book and I am Dam(o)n sure you’ll enjoy.

Hm. I don’t know. It’s hard for me to imagine someone else writing Bourne’s story. I’m curious whether he’s following Ludlum’s storyline, or tailoring the books more toward the movies (which really, really diverged from the books, which is why I love the books and don’t like the movies much).

Anyway, if I pretend I don’t know the background of all the Bourne books, and don’t bring that baggage with me — I really like the teaser. Heehee!

Meanwhile, my own teaser is at Bookishgal

I used to enjoy Ludlum’s novels a few years ago as quick, reliable action fixes. It will be interesting to hear if you think this one holds up in the same way.

Very nice teaser! I’ve been meaning to read these books – I’ve had the first three since I graduated high school about 6 years ago.

My mother introduced me to the Bourne books years ago, and I believe I bought one of the Lustbader books for her for Mother’s Day. She said it was pretty good, so maybe I’ll have to give it a try here in the near future (meaning sometime this year .

As for where I was this Tuesday, I was on ZZyzx Road.

A friend of mine on Goodreads absolutely despised the Bourne Betrayal by this same author. I don’t know if it was really that bad or the bar was just set so high by Ludlum that any comparison would pale. So I am skeptical.

I must admit, I felt deceived when I saw a Bourne book by another author than Ludlum! There’s not been a thriller that caught my attention as much as The Bourne Identity, and I don’t want to spoil that remembrance.

Your header is great; it must be wonderful to have time that retirement gives!
