THE BOURNE IDENTITY-He is a man with an unknown past and an uncertain future. A man dragged from the sea riddled with bullets, his face altered by plastic surgery-a man bearing the dubious identity of Jason Bourne. Now he is running for his life, the target of professional assassins, at the center of a maddening deadly puzzle. Who is Jason Bourne? To answer that question, he must find the secret buried deep in his own past. And the only one who can help him is a beautiful stranger-the woman who once would do anything to escape him.
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen by Kevin J. Anderson
(Movie Novelization)
London, 1899. As the British Empire lies in mortal jeopardy, a
top-secret initiative unites several of the most illustrious (and
sometimes infamous) personages of the age: Allan Quartermain, famed
explorer and adventurer; Captain Nemo, master of the undersea
submersible Nautilus; Dr. Henry Jekyll, and his brutish alter ego, Mr.
Hyde; Rodney Skinner, the Invisible Man; Dorian Gray, the ageless
subject of a diabolical portrait; Mina Harker, surviving victim of the
late Count Dracula; and a scrappy American secret agent named Tom
Sawyer. Together, they form... LXG. When a criminal mastermind known
only as ""The Fantom"" plots to hurl the world into war, the League
must race across the globe to foil the masked madman's insidious
scheme. But they may not have reckoned with the traitor in their
midst...!
