![]() When a politician is assassinated and Bourne is framed for it, he kicks off the story by going on the run, being hunted by multiple parties including his former employers(The legendary black ops unit Treadstone), and an anarchist secret group – Medusa – which he was formerly a part of, and even his current employers – a tech cabal consisting of the CEOs of the top tech companies in the world. ![]() ![]() This new ‘fresh start’ for the character is not disappointing as the plot with its large-scale Ludlum-esque conspiracy is timely for our era and a certain plot element is a relevant concept for spy thrillers in our time that hits close to reality. The legendary amnesiac assassin’s character has been retconned from most of his previously known backstory and actions, being different from Eric Van Lustbader’s Bourne books, Ludlum’s original trilogy, and the movies, while still being a treat for fans of all those previous versions of Bourne. ![]() Jason Bourne returns in the Ludlumverse 3.0 reboot in Brian Freeman’s The Bourne Evolution, revamped for the current day socio-political climate, and is a fun espionage action thriller. ![]()
