*Lee Child*
The President Is Missing is a big, splashy juggernaut of a novel,
combining thrills with a truly authentic look at the inner
happenings in Washington. I read it in one gulp. You will too.
*Harlan Coben, #1 bestselling author of DON'T LET GO*
The book’s biggest selling point is the guarantee of political
authenticity… the kite-mark of unmatchable psychological veracity…
The eventual revelation of the villain, which is satisfying and
surprising, really does feel like the outcome of a conversation
between one writer with an unusual skill at thriller plotting and
another with an exceptional grasp of global politics. The literary
running mates have earned a second term.
*The Guardian*
An entertaining romp… thoroughly enjoyable… it works. It is a
quick, slick, gripping read
*The Times*
Page-turning… In a plot crammed with twists, readers are granted
thriller writing that delivers… Nobody will walk away from The
President Is Missing feeling disappointed if they are looking for a
vigorous, fast-moving thriller that takes the reader into the
corridors of power
*i newspaper*
A brilliant, tricksy first chapter… unmistakably shows that their
partnership works… The President Is Missing enthrallingly
interweaves a cyber-thriller, a Homeland-style battle against
jihadi terrorism and a find-the-mole hunt à la Tinker Tailor
Soldier Spy – and it has aspects of a Cold War geopolitical
thriller, too… To paraphrase Katherine Hepburn on Fred Astaire and
Ginger Rogers, Bill gives James class and James gives Bill sexed-up
plotting
*Sunday Times*
The plotting is immaculate… the writing is taut
*Sunday Times*
Marry the political savvy of Bill Clinton with the craftsmanship of
James Patterson and you get a fabulously entertaining thriller that
is meticulous in its portrayal of Washington politics, gripping in
its pacing, and harrowing in its depiction of the perils of
cyberwarfare. This dark tale is, at bottom, a warning and a
prophecy about the mortal threats to our democracy posed by
terrorists abroad, homegrown extremism, and the technological
miracles that have rendered us both powerful and defenceless at
once.
*Ron Chernow, #1 bestselling and Pulitzer Prize-winning author of
ALEXANDER HAMILTON and GRANT*
A high-octane collaboration... the addictive qualities are
undeniable
*Daily Telegraph*
A bullet train of a thriller. The Day of the Jackal for the
twenty-first century.
*A.J. Finn, author of THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW*
A first-rate collaboration from a couple of real pros! Engrossing
from page one.
*David Baldacci*
Relentless in its plotting and honest in its examination of issues
that strike close to our hearts.
*Jeffery Deaver*
A showstopper… if you like thrillers and you like American
politics, you’re going to love this book... You feel the
authenticity of the two writers writing hand in glove... It’s a
cracker
*RTE*
Fast-paced and well-engineered… Clinton’s input is well deployed on
the White House insider scenes, and… Patterson can tell a story
*Financial Times*
The political thriller of the year
*The Sun*
