About This Audiobook

Jason Bourne is convinced that Treadstone ordered the death of his lover at a mass shooting, and the suspicion drives him off the grid. When he takes on a mission to infiltrate an anarchist group called Medusa and a congresswoman is assassinated in New York, Bourne is framed and hunted simultaneously by Treadstone and the tech cabal that hired him. Brian Freeman's reinvention of the franchise for the Ludlum continuation novels brings contemporary technological threats into contact with the series' espionage foundations.

Scott Brick handles the expanded mythology with the confidence of a narrator who understands what the franchise delivers to its listeners: propulsive action, global geography, and a protagonist whose competence is never quite sufficient to outrun everything pursuing him. At just over twelve hours, The Bourne Evolution moves with the series' characteristic speed and introduces the journalist character Abbey Laurent with the attention that carries into subsequent entries.
