THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM

This final title in the Bourne Trilogy weaves together all the major components that have made this series so popular: intense action; familiar characters, including Jason Bourne and his alter ego David Webb as well as Carlos the Jackal; the revival of the Medusa organization; and intricate plot threads. Scott Brick, in essence the voice of the series, having now narrated all three books, does not disappoint. His familiarity with the author's action-packed style and fast pace brings a continuity of performance that lends authenticity to the audio version. The only slight weak spot is Brick's delivery of foreign accents. Overall, the audio enhances the experience of the book and elevates the series to "classic," as opposed to "dated."
