The Bourne Trilogy

Have recently finished reading the final part of the Bourne Trilogy by Robert Ludlum : The Bourne Ultimatum.

Have to say, the dude knows his stuff. All the three books : The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum are brilliant pieces of fast paced spy thrillers. Though the books are complete in themselves, the trilogy has a distinct undercurrent which joins the three books.

The first part begins with the story of a brilliant spy who happens to lose his memory and the final book ends in him finally facing his old enemies again. Fast paced, Ludlum keeps a taut hold on the storyline and weaves the story around a guy instead of the gadgets. Simply Unputdownable !

A must read for everyone who enjoys a good book with a cup of coffee on a rainy day...
