My pressie! Mine, mine, mine!
I am a good girl, I am.
I've only looked at one present this morning -- the![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
yuletide story written for me -- and it's clear that Santa loves me.
Behavioural Software is a look at Nicky, the operative who "ran" Jason Bourne before the events of the two Bourne movies. Played by Julia Styles, Nicky starts out as a compentent professional secure with her place in the world. By the end of the second film, she's watched Treadstone fall apart, her colleagues lost to murder and suicide, the assassins themselves destroyed by madness, and faced her own death at the hands of an out-of-control Jason Bourne.
Needless to say, she's not in good shape when Behavioural Software opens.
This is the story I wanted without knowing just what I wanted from it. She's a wreck, sure that Bourne is stalking her, just waiting to kill her and destroy the last remnant of Treadstone. It's a stunning evocation of claustrophobia -- the sense of paralysis mixed with the frenzied bursts of panic are such vivid descriptions of fight-or-flight that my heart was in my mouth right along with her. And the resolution as Nicky tries to find absolution and closure is solidly satisfying.
Go. Read!
