Abridged version is excellent
I accidentally bought the abridged version of this book instead of the unabridged one, but am not disappointed. The story is excellent, and while I don't think it does read like a Ludlum book (even though it IS abridged), it is very good. Lustbader included the perfect amount of action, politics, and emotion to the book. And in the end, Scott Brick does a fantastic narration and keeps you glued to what's happening.
If you enjoyed the previous Bourne books, this one is a must. If you haven't read the previous Bourne books, then beware: the movie is COMPLETELY different from the books, and there will be many confusing elements. I suggest you read the previous books, or at least have someone explain them to you before getting this one. Enjoy!

Simply Packed with Action and Excitement
This book competes with James Bond and in some instances surpasses Bond's character. An action packed thriller displaying the many facets of its antagonist. The book blends together interesting and colorful characters and brings them to life. Once you begin listening to this story you won't want to stop listening until the very end.
