<i>The President Is Missing</i> is a big, splashy juggernaut of a novel, combining thrills with a <b>truly authentic</b> look at the inner happenings in Washington. <b>I read it in one gulp. You will too.</b>
- 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 <b>unmatchable psychological veracity</b>… The eventual revelation of the villain, which is <b>satisfying and surprising</b>, really does feel like the outcome of a conversation between one writer with an <b>unusual skill at thriller plotting</b> and another with <b>an exceptional grasp of global politics</b>. The literary running mates <b>have earned a second term</b>.
The Guardian
<b>An entertaining romp</b>… thoroughly enjoyable… it works. It is <b>a quick, slick, gripping read</b>
The Times
<b>Page-turning</b>… In a plot <b>crammed with twists</b>, readers are granted thriller writing that delivers… <b>Nobody will walk away from <i>The President Is Missing</i> feeling disappointed</b> if they are looking for <b>a vigorous, fast-moving thriller</b> that takes the reader into the corridors of power
- Barry Forshaw, i newspaper
A <b>brilliant</b>, <b>tricksy</b> first chapter… unmistakably shows that <b>their partnership works</b>… <i>The President Is Missing</i> enthrallingly interweaves a cyber-thriller, a <i>Homeland</i>-style battle against jihadi terrorism and a find-the-mole hunt à la <i>Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy</i> – and it has aspects of a Cold War geopolitical thriller, too… To paraphrase Katherine Hepburn on Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, <b>Bill gives James class and James gives Bill sexed-up plotting</b>
Sunday Times
The plotting is <b>immaculate</b>… the writing is taut
- Josh Glancy, Sunday Times
Marry the political savvy of Bill Clinton with the craftsmanship of James Patterson and you get <b>a fabulously entertaining thriller</b> that is meticulous in its portrayal of Washington politics, <b>gripping in its pacing</b>, 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 <b>high-octane</b> collaboration... the <b>addictive </b>qualities are undeniable
Daily Telegraph
<b>A bullet train of a thriller.</b> <i>The Day of the Jackal</i> for the twenty-first century.
- A.J. Finn, author of THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW,
