Robert Ludlum Fans
So tell me, what have you read? I have a copy of The Cassandra Compact which is part of the Covert One series, but I don't know about it.

I am a big fan though. I have been since the first time I read Trevayne years ago. Followed that with The Parsifal Mosaic and have been hooked ever since. Admitedly, The Sigma Protocol was a little out there, but...

So anyway, your thoughts?

1. only one: The Bourne Identity
And didn't the movie from a couple of years ago just trash it all to hell? What a lousy adaptation.

Great novel.

2. Read almost all his books starting with the Gemini Contenders and
worked up through the sequel to the Bourne Identity. Basically, they're pretty much the same book, just with different characters. But that doesn't stop me from reading them. Duh.

The best one was The Road to Gandolfo. But unfortunately he had to settle a lawsuit regarding plagarism because I guess he didn't exactly write the entire book himself. But regardless, that was a great book.

I've read them all and loved them all, but my real fave is the Bourne Identity. I do agree with you that basically they are all the same book only with different characters. But they really are a good read.
