About this listen
At a small-town carnival two men, each mysteriously summoned by telegram, witness a bizarre killing. The telegrams are signed Jason Bourne. Only they know Bourne's true identity and understand the telegram is really a message from Bourne's mortal enemy, Carlos, known also as the Jackal, the world's deadliest and most elusive terrorist. And furthermore, they know that the Jackal wants: a final confrontation with Bourne.
Now David Webb, professor of Oriental studies, husband, and father, must do what he hoped he would never have to do again: assume the terrible identity of Jason Bourne. His plan is simple: to infiltrate the politically and economically Medusan group and use himself as bait to lure the cunning Jackal into a deadly trap, a trap from which only one of them will escape.

It is the opening move in a chilling game of terror that has caught the international intelligence community completely off-guard, and the CIA turns to the one man they believe can get to the twisted roots of a looming nightmare shrouded in mystery: a former Company operative code-named Scorpion.

“In wartime,” Winston Churchill wrote, “truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies.” For Britain’s counterintelligence operations, this meant finding the unlikeliest agent imaginable - a history professor named Alfred Vicary, handpicked by Churchill himself to expose a highly dangerous, but unknown, traitor. The Nazis, however, have also chosen an unlikely agent.

The best and most memorable of the trilogy
Ludlum and Scott Brick capture the perfect balance of plot, cast, pace, narration, and captivity. You tend to really get to know each of the characters and develop a fond familiarity with good characters and a mixture of hate and respect for the evil characters. Although I recommend listening to the other books first, this book does a good job of filling you in on the past events from the previous books. Great action throughout the book in many different areas of the world.

so. much. better. than. the. movies.
I'm beginning to wonder if there are any other readers at Audible... this is my third book (counting the series as a single book) read by him. No complaints, really. He's clear, and does a good job. I'm just amused by how often I see his name in my library.
Also, the book is good as well. I will never understand why they bothered to purchase the rights for the movies as they really have nothing to do with the books. Movies = mindless "CIA is bad" action flicks with some truly amazing fight choreography. Books = very involved and twisted plots of a brilliant man and his even more brilliant wife struggling to understand and overcome the twists and turns of covert affairs.

Sad dumbed down finale
The Bourne Identity was great! The Bourne Supremacy was pretty good though not near as good as the first. The Bourne Ultimatum was a sad finish to what started out great. The author dragged out the book by way too many "almosts" and by sadly dumbing down Bourne. The Bourne/Webb tumult seemed a little overdone and for some unknown reason everyone was super concerned about good manners when he was yet again trying to save the world. A more succinct two book serious would have been much better.

No let-up in excitement from start to finish.
What a writer. We lost one of the best without him writing any more. Each story adds to what you know about Jason Borne and you never want to stop listening. There aren't many who can keep you going like Robert Ludlum. Scott Brick is superb in his story telling.

Super Agent with Dementia and a Walker
I was really looking forward to this book especially after Born Supremacy was so good. Somehow this book jumps from Supremacy into Jason Bornes elderly years and he spends half of the book fighting himself, the affects of old age and a master Nemesis who has a legion of devout followers who will not hesitate to die. Why does Carlos's men die for the Jackal you ask? No idea. They have no ideals and don't think of the Jackal as a messiah. Carlos just paid their rent for the past 20 years. I'd be like thanks Carlos, peace out. Then Carlos has an intelligence network that is on par with Mossad, CIA and KGB all put together and even then Carlos knows things he just couldn't know. Very unrealistic and Jason Borne loses his mind, it's very frustrating. I won't be moving onto the next 5 or so books to find out how it goes for him in a Nursing home.

Great Ending to a Great Trilogy
What did you love best about The Bourne Ultimatum?
I really like Alex and Morrise. They seem like the most real characters and they play important roles in assisting Jason Bourne Hunt down the Jackel.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
Yes, overall it was a very fast-paced but it does have slow moments (usually with Marie).
What about Scott Brick’s performance did you like?
He did amazing with all the languages and different characters.
Any additional comments?
It is confusing and a second listen will make it more clear but a very good story. I think it beats the movie hands down.
