Robert Ludlum

Robert Ludlum was an American thriller novelist best known for fast-moving espionage, conspiracy, secret organizations, and international pursuit. The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy, The Bourne Ultimatum, The Osterman Weekend, The Janson Directive, and The Sigma Protocol show his talent for paranoia, hidden identities, political danger, and protagonists hunted through complex global plots.

For English-language readers, Ludlum helped define the modern conspiracy thriller.

Readers interested in spy fiction, action thrillers, Cold War shadows, the Jason Bourne series, international suspense, and large-scale plots of deception will find a major popular novelist.
