One Response to “Eric Van Lustbader”

  1. Henry Pratt: 7 years ago

    I started reading Van Lustbader because he comtinued Robert Ludlum’s Jason Bourne character. 2/3 thru ANY MINUTE NOW I could not take it any more. Supernatural, undead, voodoo does not entertain me. I am crossing this author off my list. He jumps around too much. He should not be a #1 NewYork Times Bestselling Author. There are far too many more with talent that write so that you have trouble putting it down. The opposite is true of Van Lustbader.
