ROBERT LUDLUM'S THE BOURNE BETRAYAL

When Jason Bourne, now considered a rogue agent, seeks psychiatric help for troubling dreams, he doesn't know he's meeting with a doctor who intends to tamper with his muddled memories. Bourne doesn't realize the psychiatrist is an impersonator, part of a clever sabotage by Islamic extremists to strike at the heart of America. Jeremy Davidson captures the thriller’s suspense and action, but not until the second half of the book. The plot builds slowly, with too many irrelevant details, but it's worth sticking with because of Davidson’s narration. His delivery and adept pacing of the second half animate the accelerating story to produce a satisfying finish. G.D.W. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC 07/ JAN 08]
