Robert Ludlum
For 30 years, Robert
Ludlum, acclaimed as the master of suspense and international intrigue,
never wrote a failure. Each of his 21 novels was a New York Times bestseller.
The more than 210 million copies of his books in print appear in 32 languages
in 40 different countries.
In 1977, Ludlum told Writer's Digest, "I think arresting fiction is written out of a sense of outrage. I try to find something with an underpinning of reality. I generally go back over recent history looking for a situation where the events have a conceivable official explanation but where the solution might be other than it is purported to be."
It was a formula that worked with his readers from 1971 to 2003 (with his final three books published in the two years after his death on March 12, 2001). Many of his novels, including The Bourne Identity and Vault of Horror, were made into movies.
Ludlum, born May 25, 1927, also wrote under the names Jonathan Ryder and Michael Shepherd.
