  1. Robert Ludlum’s Bourne books whetted my appetite for these high adrenaline spy and espionage books, but Brian Freeman has got me well and truly hooked on the genre. I’m currently reading Freeman’s Bourne Shadow and finding it totally gripping and wanting more.

  2. Just finished Spilled Blood. Great book. I will buy a few more. I don’t think I will be disappointed.

  3. Holy wowsers, picked up “The Deep Deep Snow” and almost finished it in one day but fell asleep. Great story and great writing. Will now tackle all the other books Mr. Freeman has written. HOORAY.

  4. Where have you been all my life. Someone gave me Deep Deep Snow and I haven’t stopped reading you.

  5. Congrats on being chosen to continue the Jason Bourne series.
