Description: Jason Bourne is forced back in to action when his wife is taken hostage. The trail leads him to Hong Kong, where he must track down a trained assassin and use him to stop a plot that would plunge the world into war.
Thoughts: Like the first Bourne book, this one was a real page-turner. I thought it had a great plot, but it seemed to drag a bit. It probably could have been two thirds as long and I would have liked it better. Anyway, it was fun to read, and at some point I'll definitely read the last book in the series. Also, this one was completely different from the movie, so no worries if you've seen the movie already. They're not the same at all.
Disclaimer: Lots of violence, and quite a bit of swearing.
