Summary
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.

Not that impressed with the story, but the biggest problem is that the sound quality is poor. Narration keeps dropping volume to the point you can't hear the read.

This was a short book for 2 hours long I was able to read it in one day. The story was fast pace and the sound effects were a nice touch. Plus the music with it. It feels like you were reading the movie.

Poor sound quality with music overlaying narration. Abridged version felt like they were reading cliff notes. Overall a bad experience.

Terrible narrator; hard to follow the story…probably because I’ve seen the movie. But the narrator did not help.

Never listen to an abridged book! Very hard to follow, does not do the author justice. Total waste of time, you would be better off renting the movie.

Amazing! Super interesting listen and the narrator was perfect.

I did not like the narrator. He seemed to try and fit as many words into one treath as he could making very difficult to understand the story. His tone and style made, what I understand to be a good book, sound like a cheap detective story from the 50's.
