About This Audiobook

Jason Bourne has tried to build a quiet life as a Georgetown professor, but the reputation he earned as the CIA's most dangerous operative has followed him home. When two of his closest associates are murdered and he narrowly avoids an assassin's bullet, Bourne finds himself framed and hunted by the agency that made him, with only his instincts and training standing between him and the people who have decided he is more useful dead than retired. Eric Van Lustbader's first continuation of Robert Ludlum's series established the template for the franchise's ongoing life.

Scott Brick's authoritative narration brings the same grounded intensity to this earlier entry that he brings to the Freeman-era novels, his voice suited to Bourne's particular brand of dangerous competence under extreme pressure. The global chase structure that defines the series is fully operational here, and Brick keeps the geography legible across the pursuit. This is essential listening for Bourne franchise completists.
