Review: The President Is Missing

The President Is Missing by Bill Clinton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

President Bill Clinton and bestselling novelist James Patterson have written a spellbinding thriller, The President is Missing.

As the novel opens, a threat looms. Enemies are planning an attack of unprecedented scale on America. Uncertainty and fear grip Washington. There are whispers of cyberterror and espionage and a traitor in the cabinet. The President himself becomes a suspect, and then goes missing...

Set in real time, over the course of three days, The President Is Missing is one of the most dramatic thrillers in decades. And it could all really happen. The President Is Missing is Bill Clinton and James Patterson's totally authentic and spellbinding thriller.

This feels very much like a Patterson thriller but with so much detail on presidential matters it's easy to see how it's co-authored with Bill Clinton. The concept of the book, given the code word "Dark Ages" is quite a scary one and it's made to feel reasonably realistic. There were enough twists and turns to keep me turning the pages although I'm not sure that a President could really go "missing" without more concern.
