Synopsis

After Bourne is ambushed and nearly killed while in Indonesia, he fakes his death to take on a new identity and mission- to find out who is trying to assassinate him. In the process, Bourne begins to question who he really is and what he would become if he no longer carried the Bourne identity. Across the globe, an American passenger airliner is shot down over Egypt-apparently by an Iranian missile-leaving the world wondering if it was an accident or an act of aggression. A massive global team lead by Soraya Moore is assembled to investigate the attack before the situation escalates.
When Bourne's search for his would-be assassin intersects with Soraya's search for the group behind the airplane bombing, Bourne is thrust into a race to prevent a new world war. But it may already be too late.

From AudioFile

Jason Bourne hits the ground running as he seeks an important artifact at the same time that he tantalizingly uncovers bits of his impaired memory. The trail of deadly mayhem moves through Africa and Bali, and ultimately involves a Russian mercenary who was part of the same covert CIA training program as Bourne. This installment explores secret societies, amassed gold, and hidden temples. Bourne fans will enjoy the audio portions peppered with gunfire and other realistic sound effects. Scott Sowers ably narrates various foreign accents, as well as Bourne's youthful and jaded vocalizations. Sowers delivers the book's nonstop action by speeding up his performance as we follow the characters through one fast-paced chase scene after another. The background music gives the story the feel of a movie. A.W. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
