Great listen
I loved the vast cast of characters, spread throughout the world. Great plot, wonderful narrator. Although the lead character was arrogant and very rude in his dealings with others, His storyline was brilliant.
This will be my third listen/read of this book over the years. Great narrator.

How have the mighty fallen
I had never read a thriller when I first opened The Bourne Identity and was so gripped by it that I read it in one sitting. I can't say the same about this. Even the excellent Scott Brick narration can't save it. It's meant to be a thrill but frankly it just doesn't. I'm surprised that I actually stuck with it until the end because it was dull, repetitive and unnecessarily long. It's actually two stories in one, the first setting up the second. If it had been two books I would never have picked up the second. I'm reluctant to waste anymore time on it except to advise anyone, other than real diehard Ludlum fans, to stay well clear. There are so many good books out there, why waste time with a mediocre one. A long mediocre one.

well performed, good story but hard work.
The verbose writing style and unnatural dialogue obstructs a complex and entertaining story with memorable characters. If I was reading it myself, rather than listening, I would've given up early on. That might be just a personal thing though because I prefer more succinct prose and dialogue that I could imagine real people saying.
