Robert Ludlum began his writing career in 1971 when he published 'The Scarlatti Inheritance', which was about the Nazis and international investors. Two years later, he wrote another book called 'The Osterman Weekend', which later became a film. In the 1980's, he started to write his most famous series, starting with 'The Bourne Identity'. The series is about an American CIA counter assassin who lost his memory. Many of Ludlum's books such as 'The Aquitaine Progression' (1984) and 'In the Matarese Circle' (1979) follow a story line that is about characters that had to fight against governments or other forces that were power hungry. Even after Ludlum's 2001, several books have been published under his name such as 'The Sigma Protocol', 'The Janson Directive', and 'The Tristan Betrayal'. Although he started writing there books and left some unpublished and/or unfinished manuscripts, an unknown author is finishing and publishing these. |
