THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM
Ratings2
Average rating3
It all starts with a cat-and-mouse chase to the death in a Baltimore funfair: the Jackal, Bourne's age-old antagonist, is back and Bourne is forced from his idyllic retirement with his wife and children to confront his enemy. In Europe 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. Jason Bourne has been the assassin before: now he longs for peace with his family, but the threat of the Jackal puts in jeopardy all possibility of peace...

A bit of a chore to be honest. Narrated very well by Scott Brick - even the Russian is good, and I should know. The plot though, just so bloated and contrived.
This was my second time listening to this book and I remembered very little about it, possibly because if its being so bloated that I simply forgot. I remember having it on in the car taking my daughter to nursery school, so we're taking around 2006. I love the first book, so much so that I don't know how many times I've read it - three of four anyway. I think that's me done though - enough with Bourne. Time to stop rereading and start reading anew.
