About This Audiobook

The Bourne Imperative, the tenth in the series, opens with Bourne pulling a near-dead stranger from Arctic waters — a man with no memory who carries the seeds of a vast conspiracy. Simultaneously, Treadstone operatives Soraya Moore and Peter Marks are pursuing a terrorist known only as Nicodemo. The two investigations converge in a global thriller that takes Bourne from Stockholm to Mexico City to Beijing. Lustbader maintains the series' globe-trotting pace while deepening Bourne's fractured relationship with his own identity.

Holter Graham narrates with a commanding, propulsive energy suited to action-heavy material. His Bourne carries the right calibration of lethal efficiency and psychological tentativeness. At nearly fourteen hours Graham sustains the multiple-thread structure, and his vocal range keeps the large cast of operatives and adversaries distinguishable.
