    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)
    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.
    An entertaining romp… thoroughly enjoyable… it works. It is a quick, slick, gripping read
    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 (Barry Forshaw)
    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
    The plotting is immaculate… the writing is taut (Josh Glancy)
    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
    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)

    The book's plot had a sluggish start, causing me to abandon it multiple times before finally persevering. However, once I made it past the first two hours, the story started to become more engaging. Despite this, I still struggled with the narration. Dennis Quaid's portrayal of the president was hampered by a forced hoarse voice, and his additional characters felt overly stereotyped and unnatural, with fake accents that detracted from the experience. This issue was so frustrating that it almost made me give up again. To my surprise, speeding up the audio to 1.4x made it more bearable, and I ended up enjoying the story more at that pace. Ultimately, I think it's a good story, but I might have preferred reading it over listening to it due to my dislike of the narration.

    Interesting story, but I didn’t appreciate the narration
