"The president is missing," you say? "Christ, I wish!" Sorry, that\'s not what this book is about, though. This episode drops the bucket down into the ever-reliable well of James Patterson and when we pull it back up we find that it\'s also got a few viscous droplets of ol\' Bill Clinton mixed in. In The President Is Missing, we encounter a red-blooded, two-fisted kind of President of the United States, the kind of rugged leader who isn\'t afraid to...call terrorist leaders on the phone...or...go to a baseball game in disguise to meet with a possible source of information, the kind of guy with exactly two friends: a movie star who doesn\'t need anybody\'s help to resolve sexual harassment issues, and a venture capitalist who got rich on tech companies he brags about not understanding.

Look, we\'re not going to pretend this one makes a whole lot of sense. But hey, at least when this president drones on and on, it doesn\'t end up costing anybody their lives. If you\'re ready for a president who writes poems to square off against bad guys who thought of everything, but one thing they forgot: the United States has helicopters and knows how to use them, then you just might be ready for ... The President Is Missing.
