his main character, Mitch Rapp, is loosely portrayed in the Bourne trilogy movie series and Jack Bauer on the TV show 24
​
I don't think this means what you think it does, unless you are accusing Robert Ludlum of somehow plagiarising a set of books decades in advance. I can see how Jack Bauer's character could have been influenced since the books started coming out a year before 24 series one, but I don't think the character portrayed in the Bourne series is supposed to be anyone but Jason Bourne.
​
Actually, looking at the precis of the first Rapp book it certainly reminds me of the plot of 24 season 7.

Re: Random.
I'm a big Neal Stephenson fan, I really enjoyed his pseudoprequel trilogy to 'Cryptonomicon'. I haven't tried his latest book 'Anathem' yet, but apparently if you thought the graphs and equations were the best bits of 'Cryptonomicon' you should love it.
