Eric Van Lustbader on Writing Thrillers

"A great thriller is like a roller coaster ride, and every time you go up, you ratchet up the tension a little bit more," says Eric Van Lustbader, author of the continuation of Robert Ludlum's Bourne series, The Ninja, and The Sunset Warrior Cycle. Lustbader talks about writing his action-packed novels, whether he's filling in the gaps about Jason Bourne losing his memory or penning the details that make Nicholas Linnear an infamous outsider.
