Former US presidenti­al candidate and secretary-of-state Hillary Clinton admits fear of terrorism in her upcoming novel State of Terror. She collaborat­ed with renowned thriller author Louise Penny.

The political thriller will come out on 12 October published by Simon & Schuster and St. Martin’s Press.

The project is a dream come true for the former stateswoma­n because of her admiration of the genre.

State of Terror is surmised as a reflection of Clinton’s experience when she was US secretary of state because the book’s protagonis­t is a novice secretary of state who works for a rival politician.

The political thriller will also encompass Clinton’s thoughts on the Trump administra­tion.

In a statement issued by the authors to Hollywood Reporter, Penny said that writing State of Terror got her “inside the White House.” The novel also opened her mind to the complexiti­es of terrorism which Clinton admits to being her “worst nightmare.”

Meanwhile, seemingly ecstatic Clinton expressed her happiness for the venture. She considers teaming up with Perry as a “dream come true.”

Her husband, former US President Bill Clinton, also co-wrote novels of the same genre. His recent projects with popular author James Patterson is The President is Missing.

Clinton and Patterson will also release

Daughter in June.
