About this audiobook
Jason Bourne.
He has no past. And he may have no future. His memory is blank. He only knows that he was flushed out of the Mediterranean Sea, his body riddled with bullets.
There are a few clues. A frame of microfilm surgically implanted beneath the flesh of his hip. Evidence that plastic surgery has altered his face. Strange things that he says in his delirium -- maybe code words. Initial: "J.B." And a number on the film negative that leads to a Swiss bank account, a fortune of four million dollars, and, at last, a name: Jason Bourne.
But now he is marked for death, caught in a maddening puzzle, racing for survival through the deep layers of his buried past into a bizarre world of murderous conspirators -- led by Carlos, the world's most dangerous assassin. And no one can help Jason Bourne but the woman who once wanted to escape him.

WAIT! ⚠️ Read the reviews before you buy. I should have read the reviews so I would have been more aware of the type of audiobook I purchased. This abridged version is very entertaining but it is not the full book. This audiobook includes three books, not just the Bourne Identity. My rating of three stars is because I enjoyed the storytelling. However, I would have preferred to have the unabridged version of the first volume instead.

This is an extremely abridged version. It's actually less than 3 hours long and includes the other 3 in the original trilogy. This is not what I wanted and not what it said it was. Trying to get a refund.
