Jason Bourne takes a mission to rescue his only friend
in the CIA, Martin Lindros, who disappeared in Africa
while tracking shipments of yellowcake uranium. Once
safely back in America, Lindros persuades Bourne to
help track the money trail of terrorists buying the nuclear
material in Odessa. But once there, Bourne is hampered
by confusing flashbacks of unfamiliar places and events
and he wonders: Is someone brainwashing him in order
to throw him off the trail? Worse, is the man he saved in
Africa really Martin Lindros? Now, Bourne is alone
gathering evidence while trying to stay one step ahead
of the terrorists who won't let anyone stand in their way
of destroying the U.S.
Ok so he's a fictional super CIA guy...but there is absolutely too much science fiction woven into the story line. The plot line is way out there and just when you think it can not get any more preposterous...well it does. So many traitors, so many sci-fi story lines....it just is way over the top.
The Bourne Betrayal

Book Rating: 4/5
Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings at a single bound..... well, you get the idea. I would have given this 5 stars except that many of the situations the author puts Bourne in and his inevitable escape/victory really go way past the end of my believablity meter. Other than that, a really good Jason Bourne yarn. Should be a great summer listen. Order early because it spent several months at the top of my list before I actually got it.
