Another Robert Ludlum - after his death?

Browsing in my favourite bookstore the other day, I was pleasantly surprised to find yet another Bourne novel - the Bourne Betrayal. The title said:

Jason Bourne Returns in
Robert Ludlum's (biggest font)
The Bourne Betrayal
A new novel by
Eric Van Lustbader

Isn't it cool? I mean - years after your death, writers want to use your character, and your name, to sell their work?

The book, of course, is OK - it has the familiar feel of a Ludlum book, but it's not really the same!
