The Bourne Identity The Bourne Identity by Robert Ludlum

While navigating through a storm, a fishing boat near Marseilles recovers an unconscious man floating in the water with three bullet wounds in his body. When the man wakes up, he remembers nothing of his past, but with the help of a local doctor, he attempts to recover his lost memory and create a new identity for himself. However, while discovering the dark secrets of his past, he soon is thrust deep into danger when for reasons unknown to him, he learns he is being hunted by Carlos, the most deadly assassin in the world. He must now evade Carlos and his subordinates and uncover the truth about his past life before Carlos as well as his haunting fragments of memory destroy him.

Ludlum does a superb job of combining intense action and mystery in this thrilling novel. Although many teens would likely enjoy this fantastic book, adults especially will love this excellent work of fiction with its exciting and unexpected twists and turns throughout the book.
