The President is Missing
By Bill Clinton and James Patterson
When Tom Wolfe noted that “the problem with fiction” is that “it has to be plausible,” he may have had efforts
like this one in mind. Bill Clinton and James Patterson’s ambitious and wildly readable new novel, “The
President Is Missing,” arches more closely toward plausibility in its geopolitical subplots — threats against
the Saudi king, malicious Russian meddling in world affairs — than its main story line of a president who
ditches his handlers and goes rogue from the White House, convinced he is the only one who can foil a huge
cyberterror plot.
The book opens with a charged scene in which President Jonathan Duncan is participating in a mock
hearing to prepare for a congressional inquiry investigating the botched attempt to capture a terrorist. When
the president loses his temper, he vindicates the advisers who have cautioned him not to appear before the
actual committee. It’s a satisfying outcome for the former senior staffer in me — but unrealistic, considering
the picture of the president that unfolds on the subsequent pages.
