There are 2 other Bourne books written by Eric Van Lustbadder so the story does continue. I'm no fan of Eric's work, his Nicholas Linear series that started with The Ninja (sucked) was just ok with 2 out of 4 books to my liking. He writes a good fight scene but he's one of those authors who tries to tell 2 stories at once all the time, every one of the Nicholas Linear series is half in the past half in the present, same with Jian, another book of his I read. He also is way into writing sex scenes and sexual violence (there's a pretty brutal man rape scene in one of his books as well as very well detailed pedophilia) and I'm not big on reading sex, I prefer how Fleming handles it, more subtle.

So having said that his writing the Bourne series was enough of a reason for me to hold off on it for now.
