"Ambitious and wildly readable... Clinton and Patterson's fictionalcommander in chief brims with humanity, character and stoicism."
—New York Times Book Review
"It's a go-to read. It maximizesits potency and fulfills its mission. There's a twist or two of which FrederickForsyth might be proud. So, if you want to make the most of yourlate-capitalist leisure-time, hit thecouch, crack a Bud, punch the book open, focus your squint, and enjoy."
—The New Yorker

—New York Times
"An extraordinary event . . . the pages spark to DEFCON 1."
—Washington Post
"This book moves like Air Force One. Big and fast. Clinton and Patterson are a dream combo. Two great storytellers, one inside and one outside, both at the top of the game. They've put together an undeniably gripping ride through the hidden passageways of power and politics. This book teaches as much as it entertains."
—Michael Connelly, #1 bestselling author of the Ballard and Bosch series
"The pagesofThe President Is Missingare filled with the classic tropes of a big commercial thriller . . . butthe authors resist pure escapism . .. The pleasure of this book is in imagining the wild tales Clinton mightdisclose about his own years as President, if only he could."
—Time
"The plotting is immaculate...the writing is taut."—Sunday Times (London)
"The dream team delivers big time . . . Clinton's insider secrets and Patterson's storytelling genius make this the political thriller of the decade."—Lee Child, author of the Jack Reacher series

"A high-octanecollaboration . . . the addictive qualitiesare undeniable."
—Daily Telegraph (London)
"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 defenseless at once."
—Ron Chernow, #1 bestselling and Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Grant
"The novel's accelerated pace ofaction is one of the novel's strongest assets, along with a roster of intriguing characters . . . a clever, braveand moral leader that any free nation would be lucky to have at the helm."

My knuckles are still white!"
—Louise Penny, #1 bestselling author of Glass Houses
"A blockbuster."
—Express (London)
"Bill Clinton and James Patterson seamlessly craft a heady thriller revealing the razor-thin edge between policy and ambition, politics and patriotism. They provide a front-row seat to the inner workings of our political system, a plot that is frighteningly plausible, and a cast of complex characters--both men and women--who all have their own stake to claim. The result: a fast-paced summer read you'll see on planes, trains, and every beach across the country and around the world."
—Walter Mosley, bestselling author of the Easy Rawlins series
*"Clinton and Patterson are a dynamic duo weaving a suspenseful and gripping technothriller that will leave readers wondering,'Could this really happen?' Highly recommended for thriller and suspense fans."

—Nelson DeMille, #1 bestselling author of The Cuban Affair

—Brad Meltzer, #1 bestselling author of The Escape Artist
