I got this book recently as a gift and remember thinking...

"A new book?...I thought he died..."

Well...no shit...I was right...

In tiny little print on the bibliography page it says something like...

"The estate of Robert Ludlum working with a specially selected author has created this novel"

What the fuck? Look at the cover! It clearly says "Robert Ludlum" in bolder print than the title of the book...

This is total bullshit!

BTW, I read the book, it's OK, but this "specially selected author" AIN'T Robert Ludlum...

i know they are letting ERIK VON LUSTBADER pen new bourne novels. surprised they don't have the actual author on the cover though. very misleading to say the least.
edit: ok i just saw that he left behind several unfinished manuscripts that they are letting ghostwriters edit and complete. they should definitely be giving more information about that. this book in particular was written based off a plot outline ludlum did.
