Default You can usually catch up with the Ludlum books on Bourne just by reading the last one

So I decided to see what the prior books were.

It seems that Robert Ludlum is the original creator of The Bourne novels. This one is labeled Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Deception by Eric Van Lustbader. I looked at the list of books and see that Lustbader has written three other Bourne novels.

My question is - if I go back and read only the three Bourne books written by Eric Van Lustbader will I have the complete story as he has written it along with these refer-backs? Or do I need to go back and read all of the Robert Ludlum books about Jason Bourne also.

I had the same problem with the Eric Van Lustbader books about Jason Bourne. It seemed to me that the Ludlum books about Jason Bourne fill you in on what has occured in previous books from the series. The Lustbader books though kind of require you to go back to the first one and read it so that you can follow along.
