And worse, you do not know who you are. Well, that's the situation that Jason Bourne finds himself in Robert Ludlum's thriller, "The Bourne Identity." Ludlum, author of eight I other novels including the Matarese Circle,' which topped the New York Times Bestsellers List for 30 |v,uiiduv;uuvc ua^ uhvc again followed the formula II that has made him one of ;';j America's most successful authors. And once again, that formula has produced another thrilling novel.

More often than not, he has no idea who the people are or why they are after him. And to find out, he must subject himself to even greater danger. Yet the use of this pattern, does not make "The Bourne Identity" a stale rehash of Ludlum's earlier works. The reason for this is obvious. Ludlum is a gifted storyteller who is able to get the readers involved in the book. And it's that involvement by the readers that makes his novels so I popular. We identify with Jason Bourne. We feel his confusion as he searches for who he is. We share Bourne's amazement as he defends with skills he didn't know he had against assailants who try to kill him. And we understand his growing love for the woman he has kidnapped but who has become I his willing companion. Together they find clues to the person Bourne really is.

DURING THE THIRD year of operation, the corsairs (another word for pirates not used before) had a brilliant idea. They started competition between the two stores, alternately raising prices as people scrambled between the two places to see which gave a better deal. All the time this was going on, the employees of both stores were saying, "Ay." Back at the home base of the Caribbean, where the cool, clear water melts into the hot sands of the golden beach, the "pirate publishers," were laughing their skull and crossbones off.

When the creeps wanted dinner, they'd order out: snails flown from France; lobster from Iceland; cheeseburgers from Spartanburg. Even their slaves were millionaires who had their own slaves, who made more money than the president of the University of South Carolina. There's no real ending to this story. The robbing is still going on today and the profits are going to a place most people don't know how to spell.
