  <default-description>Washington, Hong Kong and Peking - terror sweeps the globe. The Vice- Premier of the People's Republic has been brutally murdered by a legendary assassin and everyone is asking the same fearful questions: Why has Bourne come back? Who is paying him? Who is next on his death list? But US officials know the shocking truth: there is no Jason Bourne. There never was. But someone has resurrected the name, and if he is not stopped, the world will pay a devastating price.    Jason Bourne must live again. He must utilise his murderous skills. But this time the will to survive is not enough. This time Bourne must reign supreme...  </default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[I read it because after Gayle Lynds's <em>Masquerade</em> I was in the espionage mode, and because I also really enjoyed the first Bourne title (and the movie). Somehow, this one just never grabbed me (the movie, though completely unrelated, was much more fun). The other weird thing was how similar in style ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/38877546">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[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 ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/58288506">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[For a potboiler, it wasn't that bad.  I initially picked this book up because of how much I enjoyed the Bourne Identity (movie) and wanted to read the Supremacy before I saw that movie.  It turned out that it was a good book to read on the bus each day (took my mind off the crazies around me) though...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4164980">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[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...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/64780125">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[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...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/69822848">more...</a>]]></body>
