| Condition Notes | Mass-market paperback in Good condition with substantial but typical reading wear. The front cover shows multiple creases, rubbing and surface wear, with heavier creasing across the upper portion and along the spine edge. Corners are bumped and worn, with small areas of paper loss at the top and bottom edges. The gold title lettering remains bright and attractive, and the cover is intact and fully readable. A well-read vintage copy that remains suitable for reading or completing an original Ludlum Bourne set. |

Jason Bourne was supposed to be gone. David Webb has tried to leave behind the violent identity created during his hunt for the infamous assassin Carlos—but someone has stolen the Bourne name.
When a ruthless killer begins operating as Jason Bourne, the deception threatens to ignite an international crisis. American officials realize that only one man has the experience and skills necessary to hunt down the impostor: the real Jason Bourne.
Webb is forced back into the dangerous world he desperately tried to escape. When the woman he loves is taken from him, the mission becomes intensely personal. His search leads into a maze of espionage, betrayal, political manipulation, and shifting alliances stretching into Hong Kong and China.
To save Marie, expose the impostor, and prevent a potentially catastrophic political conspiracy, David Webb must once again become the man he fears most—Jason Bourne.
EugeneBookStore Summary
There are two Jason Bournes—but only one of them is real.
Robert Ludlum’s second Bourne novel brings David Webb back into the shadowy world of international espionage when another assassin begins using his legendary identity. What starts as an intelligence crisis becomes personal when Marie is taken and Webb is forced to resurrect the deadly skills he hoped never to use again.
The Bourne Supremacy expands the story far beyond The Bourne Identity, combining psychological suspense with CIA operations, political intrigue, betrayal, and high-stakes action across Asia.
For readers who know Bourne primarily from the movies, the novel is especially interesting because the 2004 film uses the title but tells a substantially different story.
Collector Notes
This is the 1987 Bantam mass-market paperback edition, ISBN 9780553263220, and represents the first Bantam paperback edition of The Bourne Supremacy. Goodreads identifies it as a First Edition Bantam edition, and current bookseller listings also describe copies of this ISBN as the 1987 Bantam First Edition.
Although not especially rare, this edition has good appeal for collectors who want matching vintage paperback copies of Ludlum’s original three Bourne novels. Its period cover design and early paperback status make it more interesting than later movie-tie-in and modern reprint editions.
