About this title: This sequel to the fan-favorite spy thriller THE BOURNE IDENTITY inspired a 2004 film starring Matt Damon in the title role. Jason Bourne does not exist. He is merely a cover identity for CIA assassin David Webb, now in retirement. Nevertheless, someone has taken the Bourne identity--and used it to kill the Chinese Vice-Premier. Disturbed by this event, the CIA kidnaps Webb/Bourne's wife in order to force him to go after both the impostor and his master, a Chinese minister with a devastating secret agenda.

"Read it as soon as it hit the shelf, after reading all of Ludlum's earlier books. Great suspense writer. The stories all sort of melt into one another. Other than Jason Bourne, I don't remember any specific characters. Just tons of suspense, lots of killings, many hours that I escaped and now wish I had back to live over."
"I apologize because my reviews will be very shallow since I'm at work on my lunch break. I enjoyed this book because of the deep character development with the Bourne Identity/David Webb. The book starts out very fast especially when David Webb is transplanted back into society after his eye opening experience in the initial book. In this book, you notice that David Webb grasps the difference between the two identities and frequently he is forced through stress/trauma into his Delta/Bourne ego and that's the best part about the book. Through the course of the book, you are taken all around China while Bourne tracks down the kidnappers of his wife, of course with Ludlum the story spins out of control as it unravels violently towards the last page."
"I'm really surprised that other than the basics of the story, there is very little relationship with the movie version. Ludlum has found the formula for success, but the steps he takes to move the story along start to show through the writing and aren't seamlessly woven into the storyline. It's like when you can spot an actor acting."
"The second book in the Jason Bourne series, the Bourne Supremacy is absolutely nothing like the movie. Ludlum breaks Jason into three different characters (David Webb, Jason Bourne, and Delta) depending on the situation he's facing. It's interesting to read as he battles between his personalities while experiencing typical Ludlum espionage and battle scenes. Easy read and a good page turner once you're invested in the story."
