furthest distance between two points in a thriller

[Feliks, Moderator]

Name a spy/spec ops thriller novel where--between the first page and the last page--the hero crosses the farthest amount of spatial distance. Doesn't have to be geographic space; for example if he spiritually travels to an astral plane and back, that will also suffice. On the other hand, nix on 'time travel'.

In this book, hired assassin Courtland Gentry goes on an epic saga across the length of Europe. Starts in Prague, hikes across the Swiss Alps, only gets a car in Paris. Crashes in Dover, walks the rest of the way to the house of the men he's trying to kill.

How about the second Bourne story, BOURNE IDENTITY? It started in India and went on as a wild chase by a Russian assassin, switches to Europe and ends in a spectacular car crash in Russia.

That was the Supremacy film, but the rest is correct.
Covered two continents.

Identity- (finds identity)
Supremacy- (Two killers. Only one will have supremacy over the other)
Ultimatum- (in name only adaption)

I loved that Car Chase. David Vs Goliath through rush hour Moscow. That Mercedes G-Wagen was brutal.

Not to mention the fact both of them were hammered when they tried to kill each other. Krill from that nightclub trip and Bourne from all the vodka he was using to dull the pain of his gunshot wound.

There was an action adventure conspiracy video game a friend of mine once showed me. It featured a scene where the main character ends up in this desert and manages to barely walk across it without dying.

There was espionage in Isaac Asimov's 'Fantastic Voyage'--where the medical crew is shrunk (submarine and all) to microscopic size to enter the body of a defector and retrieve a secret. That's quite a distance!

Indeed.
