The President is Missing

Authors: Bill Clinton and James Patterson Publisher: Century ISBN: 9781780898407

WHAT do you get when a former US president (Clinton) and a popular novelist (Patterson) get together to write a thriller? Tom Clancy-lite.

The story begins with US President Jonathan Duncan being grilled by the House Select Committee for his failure to apprehend a terrorist called Suliman, the mastermind behind some major cyber attacks across the globe.

Fed up with politicians trying to take him down and unable to explain his actions due to national security, Duncan leaves the White House with some secret service agents.

He goes to meet some people who can help him track down Suliman and stop an attack that will leave the US vulnerable.

Throw in the recentlywidowed Duncan having serious medical problems, a mole among those closest to him, and a heavilypregnant assassin hot on his trail, and you get a book that takes you on a roller-coaster ride.

This book reads like it is ready to be turned into a Hollywood action flick. – S. Indra Sathiabalan
