About This Audiobook

Jason Bourne is posing as a government minister at a political summit in Qatar when armed gunmen storm the room and kill everyone except him, revealing that Bourne himself was the target all along. Kidnapped by a terrorist known as El Ghadan, Bourne discovers that El Ghadan holds his colleague Soraya Moore and her young daughter captive, and his price for their freedom is a demand that Bourne assassinate the President of the United States, whose peace negotiations El Ghadan is determined to prevent.

Holter Graham brings the sustained tension that the Bourne series requires, giving the narrative's escalating impossible choices the proper urgency. His command of the international ensemble, from intelligence operatives to political antagonists, keeps the large cast organized and distinct. At just under fifteen hours, this twelfth entry in the Bourne series delivers the high-stakes dilemma that defines the character: how to protect the innocent when the only resources you have are lethal skills.
