Publisher Description
America's most enduring hero, Jason Bourne, returns in a propulsive, fresh story for the Bourne canon that tests old skills--and uncovers new ones.
After the death of his lover in a mass shooting, secret agent Jason Bourne is convinced that there is more to her murder than it seems. Worse, he believes that Treadstone--the agency that made him who he is, that trained him--is behind the killing. Bourne goes rogue, leaving Treadstone behind and taking on a new mission to infiltrate and expose an anarchist group, Medusa.
But when a congresswoman is assassinated in New York, Bourne is framed for the crime, and he finds himself alone and on the run, hunted by both Treadstone and the tech cabal that had hired him. In his quest to stay one step ahead of his enemies, Bourne teams up with a journalist, Abbey Laurent, to figure out who was behind the frame-up, and to learn as much as he can about the ever-growing threat of the mysterious Medusa group.
As more and more enemies begin to hunt Bourne, it's a race against the clock to discover who led him into a trap...and what their next move may be.
Customer Reviews
Solid Reboot
For some reason the publisher released the audiobook with chapter six in place of chapter four so the early part of the audiobook is confusing and then repetitive when you hear chapter six for the second time.
Other than that, the story is interesting and suspenseful. There are lots of Easter eggs but newcomers won’t feel left out because they appear to fit naturally into the story.
This story is a reboot of the literary series. I still have some fondness for both The Bourne Identity and The Bourne Legacy, but you don’t need to have any history with any of the previous iterations (novels, tv miniseries, or movies) to enjoy The Bourne Evolution.
I’d recommend the written version, assuming that was probably edited more professionally than the audiobook.
Predictable and cheesy
Bourne is pretty nerfed intelligent wise in this story. Makes no sense at times, he comes across as an idiot. Narrator did his best Agent 47 impression as Bourne but overall did an okay job.
