Each book I've done featuring ninja characters has sold better than the previous one."Cocaine and Nuclear WeaponsĪlthough "Angel Eyes" does not have ninjas, it does include many Lustbader trademarks. But the interest my readers have is apparently lasting. "It's become a fad now, and I've read where it's already passing. Ten years ago very few people in this country had heard of ninja. "It's an interesting feeling to see everything that's sprouted from it and to know I was really the person who opened the door. "I'm sort of the godfather of ninjas, certainly in this country," Mr. Lustbader and his wife, Victoria, moved to the East End soon after the publication 10 years ago of "The Ninja," a novel featuring a Japanese-American character that was instrumental in fomenting the ninja phenomenon here. The author lives and writes in a house in Southampton that overlooks Shinnecock Bay and a garden that he and a landscaper, Charles Marder of Bridgehampton, have built up. Indeed, it is a new one, "Angel Eyes," being published this month by Ballantine Books. This must be an Eric Van Lustbader novel. And the certainty that his tale of international intrigue will show up on best-seller lists. Exotic settings that include the Orient, where nothing is as it seems. An American who studied in Japan summoning her wa, or spiritual resources, in a moment of crisis. Fast-paced action that has a reader's eyes rushing from page to page.
A SECRET plot that could result in the upheaval of a country, if not the entire world order.
