Bourne Supremacy by Robert Ludlum (1986, Hardcover)

Description: The name is scrolled through the pool of human blood at the scene of the massacre in Kowloon , Hong Kong frenzied sister city across Victoria Harbor. “We are dead,” whispers an observer. “ Kowloon is dead, Hong Kong is dead. All is dead! The assassin has come back to Asia. Jason Bourne is back!“ Suddenly, in Washington, London, and Peking, powerful men are terrified that the stability of the far east will be destroyed, for among those brutally slain is a vice premier of the peoples republic. Who is paying the assassin and for what purpose? Who is next on the death list? Whispers abound: the Crown governor? Taipans? Overlords of crime? Bourne, the supreme killer, can throw the volatile east into chaos. And in an unmapped complex in the Colorado mountains, other men – high officials of the United States government – ponda the impossible. They know that there is no Jason Bourne – there never was! For the legend was created by them, the killer is a myth! Bourne Was the assumed name of David Webb, a tragedy – ridden American scholar, who posed as the deadly assassin for the sole purpose of unearthing the world’s most notorious killer, Carlos the Jackal. For three years, Webb lived the lie of “”Jason Bourne,” – Violently wounded in mind and body – he no longer knew who he was. Only then were his life and sanity saved by the extraordinary woman who loved and trusted him. In the university town, David Webb lives quietly under protective custody. With therapy, he has begun to regain his memory. And with the loving care of his wife, the extraordinary Marie, he deals with the past, one harrowing memory at a time. Together, they are beginning to find peace. But that piece is shattered by the judgment of one man in the most secret reaches of government. Jason Bourne must exist once again. He must return to Asia. He must hunt his own impostor. The decision is made. And an inhuman outrage is committed: Marie is forcefully taken , and flown halfway across the world – leaving a trail for a frantic David Webb to follow. This time, there is no choice. Webb must force his fragile identity once more into that of the impeccable, murderous Jason Bourne . In a desperate Odyssey that takes him from the official corridors of Washington to the treacherous depths of Hong Kong, Kowloon and Macao, Webb ultimately penetrates the hidden centers of power in Peking – where an army of fanatics has Peking – where an army of fanatics has been ordered to find him. Kill him. Every murderous strategy, every brutal trick Webb had ever perfected he must use now: to find Marie; to trap his own impostor; to uncover the identity of the “client“ who threatens to plunge the Far East into a war the world might not survive.
