The Bourne Legacy

August 2, 2004 by Michael R. Mennenga

Eric Van Lustbader
Now, you may be wondering why we’re talking about The Bourne Legacy on a science fiction talk show, and why it is that the book is written by someone other than the guy who wrote the original trilogy. Eric will clear things up for you, don’t sweat it!
