what happen to robert Ludlum's life

Posthumous releases

Ludlum died in 2001, yet he continues to release books (albeit co-written). Does anyone know the truth about this? It seems to me that Ludlum has become a trademark, with other writers using his name to write (admittedly good) books. I am reading The Lazarus Vendetta now, and although it is written by Patrick Larkin, his name barely appears on the book. I bought it because it says Robert Ludlum on the cover.--Ezeu 16:21, 19 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The late Robert Ludlum's name has become a trademark, as The Amber Warning has his name listed as the author but signified as a trade mark. I'd say in that capacity someone is definitely writing for him because the prose and sentence construction is actually better in this book. I never ran into a one sentence paragraph, thought it was evident the "author" was trying to emulate Ludlum. No source, but reader's intuition. I've love to source this though.
