Robert Ludlum

Writer

Robert Ludlum (1927–2001) was an American author best known for thriller and spy novels, and for creating the Jason Bourne character.

Ludlum wrote the Jason Bourne trilogy; his novels have been adapted into major films that diverge from the books. Reviews note comparisons with Frederick Forsyth and describe Ludlum's style as commercial and fast-flowing.

The available review compares Ludlum's work to Frederick Forsyth's, highlights the Jason Bourne trilogy and its film adaptations, and praises Ludlum's engaging, flowing prose. The reviewer finds the book entertaining and well-managed as a showdown between Bourne and Carlos. Overall a favourable, accessible take on commercial spy fiction.

For:Readers of spy thrillers; fans of Jason Bourne films; readers who enjoy commercial, plot-driven thrillers

A curious chain of events links two books written in different periods by two different authors who I don't know how much they had to do with each other.
