Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Treachery

By: Brian Freeman

Narrated by: Scott Brick

The world’s most ruthlessly efficient assassin, Jason Bourne, is facing the one force he can’t defeat—his own past—in the latest thrilling entry in Robert Ludlum’s New York Times bestselling series.


Three years ago, Jason Bourne embarked on a mission in Estonia with his partner and lover, a fiery Treadstone agent code-named Nova. Their job was to rescue a Russian double agent who’d been smuggled out of St. Petersburg in the midst of an FSB manhunt.

They failed. The Russian died at the hands of a shadowy assassin known only by the nickname Lennon.

Now everything has changed for Bourne. Nova is gone, killed in a mass shooting in Las Vegas. Bourne is a lone operative, working in the shadows for Treadstone, when he’s called in for a new mission in London—to prevent another assassination masterminded by Lennon.

But nothing about this mission is what it seems. As Bourne engages in a cat-and-mouse game with Lennon across the British countryside, he discovers that everything he thought he knew about the past was a lie. And with the body count rising, he comes to an inevitable conclusion: Some secrets should stay buried.

Great Series

Well done on all fronts of this audio book. Can’t wait to see what Jason does next.

Vintage Bourne

I read all the original books and this was consistent with them. Loved the movies, but always questioned the psychological problems that Bourne has and in this case the brainwashing of Nova. Scott Brick does his usual best job and the story ends well but overall the story is a little far fetched.

Narrator

I like Scott Brick .
But, his narration has lost understanding of context. His tone in speaking is angry all the time. Though good in some places, it ruins the story. I think it’s laziness. (I think he thinks it brings intensity. It only becomes monotonous)
Anyway, it made it hard to finish the book. My two cents.

Over done

Way to many synonym filled paragraphs it was like Steve Martin in the Jerk “ is all I need is this lamp and this… “ seems like they were trying to make the book longer by filling it with useless phrases

Looking forward to the movie

This will make a great movie, I hope it happens, great book loved it.
