Written by Robert Ludlum, The Bourne Ultimatum is the last in the Jason Bourne series (you may have seen the movies based on these books, starring Matt Damon?). This book, published in 1990, starts out in a small-town carnival, where two men summoned by telegram, signed "Jason Bourne," witness a strange murder. However, the messages are really from Bourne's enemy, The Jackal, also known as the most deadly and elusive terrorist in the world. David Webb, professor and devoted husband and father, must assume the identity of Bourne once again in order to lure the Jackal into a trap, leading to a deadly confrontation.
