Kritikerstimmen

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)

Am relevantesten

The basic idea of this story is a nightmare that is -of course- averted in the end. The interesting parts are what the President of the story says, his political and almost philosophical thoughts, as well as his last statement before Congress. I assume that the President in the story is the mouthpiece of Bill Clinton. I find the warnings and the political ideas very topical in light of the current situation in the US. I wish more politicians shared these views. The fictitious President's statements also fit in perfectly with a book I just finished and that I can only recommend to anybody interested in US politics. The title is 'How Democracies Die'.
