The Bourne Saga: Book Three

De: Robert Ludlum

In Europe, Russia and America there are men and women whose lust for power is disguised by their positions and respectability. Their aim: to gain control at the highest level, to avenge, to destroy.

Superb... the pace and tension are stupendous, the solution devastating... compulsive entertainment

A fast-paced thriller from a reliable master

The real titan of the genre is Robert Ludlum

A page-turner of non-stop action

Bourne is more mysterious than Bond, more real than Batman and more complex than Bruce Willis

Olympic style, all-out espionage

A writer who bests the bestsellers

Ok story, hitchy writing, terribly read

I’ll not go into the story here. I needed to ventilate about Scott Brick. He has a very pleasing narrating voice, but it makes my hair stand on end to hear him attempting French. Bourne is supposed to be fluent in multiple languages, but it would appear mr Brick has yet to meet a native speaker in real life. It is so appalling that some parts in French are not even understandable. This completely ruins the omnipotence of the main character who now comes across as yet another idiotic tourist in France. Cringe.
