Praise for The President Is Missing

"Ambitious and wildly readable... Clinton and Patterson's fictional commander in chief brims with humanity, character and stoicism."
--New York Times Book Review


"It's a go-to read. It maximizes its potency and fulfills its mission. There's a twist or two of which Frederick Forsyth might be proud. So, if you want to make the most of your late-capitalist leisure-time, hit the couch, crack a Bud, punch the book open, focus your squint, and enjoy."

--The New Yorker


"Harrowing . . . Mr. Patterson withholds details until the moment of maximum dramatic effect . . . beach reading of a high order."
--The Wall Street Journal


"Sure to entice millions of readers . . . the novel is fascinating . . . President Duncan for a second term!"
--USA Today


"The President Is Missing feels like the result of a strong collaboration . . . It's driven by star power and persuasive-sounding presidential candor . . . This book's a big one."
--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 pages of The President Is Missing are filled with the classic tropes of a big commercial thriller . . . but the authors resist pure escapism . . . The pleasure of this book is in imagining the wild tales Clinton might disclose about his own years as President, if only he could."
--Time


"The plotting is immaculate... the writing is taut."--Sunday Times (London)
