Publisher's summary

A killer with no face, no identity, and a name the world wanted to forget: Jason Bourne....

Reenter the shadowy world of Jason Bourne, an expert assassin still plagued by the splintered nightmares of his former life. This time the stakes are higher than ever. For someone else has taken on the Bourne identity, a ruthless killer who must be stopped or the world will pay a devastating price.

To succeed, the real Jason Bourne must maneuver through the dangerous labyrinth of international espionage, an exotic world filled with CIA plots, turncoat agents, and ever-shifting alliances, all the while hoping to find the truth behind his haunted memories and the answers to his own fragmented past. This time there are two Bournes...and one must die.

Much more interesting than the movie

I really liked the Bourne movies but felt they were typical Hollywood super-spy stuff. The books go much deeper into Jason Bourne's psychology. He is basically a highly lethal sociopath and schizophrenic. The movies portray him as a super-spy who lost his memory.

The book is much more interesting than the movie.

Great book, not so great narrator

I love the Bourne books. Scott Brick seems to narrate a lot of books and he has a great voice but his acting is just not up to the same standards of other popular narrators. For me, it distracts from a great story.

OUTSTANDING!!!

Riveting! The detail with which this story winds and unwinds is intoxicating! From the start, I wished I had a fresh pot of strong, hot coffee, and the time to binge this file in one sitting! The motion pictures these books inspired are absolutely a MUST watch! However, what I love most about these volumes by Mr. Ludlum is that they're nearly completly different. Every reason to consume both. If you're a fan of the genre, GET'CHOU some'o this!!!

Nothing like the movie..in a good way

First of all, except for the title and names, this is not at all related to the movie. In this book Bourne is a schizo, emphasis on his two personalities much more represented. A duality of man type of concept. The book starts with a bang then has a slow intro to the stories being told which is kinda of boring but then the pace is picked up strong. A little on the predictable side but action scenes are not bad. A more accurate grade I can give the book is 2 stars for beginning chapters then 4 stars for the rest of the book. Scott Brick is top notch as always

so good

So good that it is near impossible to tear yourself away. Ludlum sets a high standard for fast-paced action and gripping story telling.

great story, bland narration

I love this story so much. it's so good and so detailed and compelling. the major issue I have is with Scott brick. he has a good voice and a unique one at that, but it is so monotoned and constantly the same throughout the story and characters. men, women, American, foreign... they're all pretty much the same with very minor variations.

again, he has a good voice, but it's lack of variety sometimes puts me to sleep. emphasis and stress and action scenes feel extremely forced. many times I don't even know which character is talking and don't feel the urgency of the situation.

it's a great story. you can get through it. it's not a horrible narration, but compared to others out there, it is a C at best

Great story

I don’t get it. The movie is entirely different from this book. The book story is much better than the movie. So why did they change it so drastically? Whoever made the decision to do so is nuts.
I guess that if I go back and listen to the series, I will discover that the books are all much better, and much different from the movies.

We are lucky that this is not one of those crappy abridged versions.

Couldn’t finish it

I loved the narration.
The story line and the plot, not so much.
It dragged on and and on and with 11 plus hours I just gave up
