Ludlum died of a heart attack on March 12, 2001, at his home in Naples, Florida, while recovering from severe burns caused by a mysterious fire which occurred on February 10, 2001. The Bourne movies, starring Matt Damon in the title role, have been commercially and critically successful ( The Bourne Ultimatum won three Academy Awards in 2008), although the story lines depart significantly from the source material.Дuring the 1970s, Ludlum lived in Leonia, New Jersey, where he spent hours each day writing at his home. Covert One: The Hades Factor, a book co-written with Gayle Lynds, was originally conceived as a mini-series the book evolved from a short treatment Ludlum wrote for NBC. Many of Ludlum's novels have been made into films and mini-series, including The Osterman Weekend, The Holcroft Covenant, The Apocalypse Watch, The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum. From that point of view, yes, I guess, I am theatrical.' I think it's all suspense and what-happens-next. He once remarked: 'I equate suspense and good theater in a very similar way. His theatrical experience may have contributed to his understanding of the energy, escapism and action that the public wanted in a novel. From 1960 to 1970, he managed and produced shows at the Playhouse on the Mall at Bergen Mall in Paramus, New Jersey. In the 1950s, he produced shows at the Grant Lee theater in Fort Lee, New Jersey. Prior to becoming an author, he had been a United States Marine, a theatrical actor and producer. After becoming an author later in life, Ludlum would set his mystery novel The Matlock Paper at the fictitious Carlyle University in Connecticut, a thinly disguised Wesleyan. While at Wesleyan, Ludlum joined the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity. He was educated at the Rectory School then Cheshire Academy and Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut, where he earned a B.A.

Ludlum was born in New York City, the son of Margaret (nГ©e Wadsworth) and George Hartford Ludlum. When the Omega plan is finally revealed, John realizes that he has been manipulated all along.Life and career Early life and education John realizes that he doesnвЂ™t know his closest friends as well as he thought. The host of an investigative news show, John Tanner, is told by an agent of the CIA and his friends who are invited to a weekend in the country are plotting a conspiracy to threaten national security. IвЂ™ve enjoyed this book (not as much as I enjoyed LudlumвЂ™s later releases) simply because it intrigued me, the characters were interesting and the plot was fascinating since both the reader and the main character have no idea whatвЂ™s going on.Д®ven though The Osterman Weekend might seem thick, as are most of LudlumвЂ™s books, it is a quick read and a page turner. The characters come to life, even though not all of them are likeable or pleasant. This is a clever, intriguing and fun book which has glimmers of the genius which Robert Ludlum is about to become. The host, John Tanner, invites his friends to his home for the weekend in order for the traitor to reveal themselves so the CIA could capture them.
