Publisher's Summary

James Patterson and Bill Clinton - the “dream team” (Lee Child) - return with a thriller even more compelling than The President Is Missing. Every detail is accurate - because one of the authors is President Bill Clinton. The drama and action never stop - because the other author is James Patterson. 

Matthew Keating, a one-time Navy SEAL - and a past president - has always defended his family as staunchly as he has his country. Now those defenses are under attack. A madman abducts Keating’s teenage daughter, Melanie - turning every parent’s deepest fear into a matter of national security. As the world watches in real time, Keating embarks on a one-man special-ops mission that tests his strengths: as a leader, a warrior, and a father. 

The authors’ first collaboration, The President Is Missing, a number one New York Times best seller and the number one best-selling novel of 2018, was praised as “ambitious and wildly readable” (New York Times Book Review) and “a fabulously entertaining thriller” (Pulitzer Prize-winning author Ron Chernow).

Critic Reviews

“Clinton and Patterson’s standalone sequel to their 2018 thriller, The President Is Missing, puts their respective expertise to good use in a twisting plot.”—TIME

"The President's Daughter is an absolute rocket. Rich with authenticity only a president could deliver, this story of a father's desperate search for his daughter will have readers burning through pages. Clinton and Patterson are simply the best in the thriller business."—Robert Crais, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Elvis Cole series

“Brace yourself for a thriller with inside secrets and riveting excitement that only the partnership of Patterson and Clinton could produce. From the president’s opening phone call to the politically tense ending, it’s a page turner with resonance for our times.”—Walter Isaacson, #1 New York Times bestselling author

Amurica, F--- Yeah!

Good guys, bad guys, Americans vs Arab terrorists, revenge plot... lots of hardware very explicitly identified (type of weapons, ammunition, etc) and military jargon make this satisfying for many but I find it all-too-predictable and typical of this type of story (YES, this is a type of story). If you want a go-get-the-bad-guy tale where the white hats win, this is perfect.

I will go back to British murder mysteries, Elmore Leonard, or Michael Connelly stories for more cerebral challenges. Enough of the rah-rah-rah novels.

Started it but couldn’t finish it

I liked their last book, so I thought I might like this one. Sorry, but I didn’t.
Just a personal choice, I don’t like to listen to anything about children being killed. Just felt the story was unbelievable and I didn’t like it.
Also, it’s the first time I’ve been denied, returning a book. If I had been allowed to return it, I would not have written this review, and just moved on.

Both are in top form, as is the cast.

Though I recognize only a few of the narrators, all are in top form here. Storyline is very interesting and well-written as well, both authors giving it their all.

Great Book!

I highly recommend this book. It was hard to put down once started. The story was very engaging. Fast paced, well plotted, very entertaining. Felt like I was reading the headlines with all the twists and turns. WOW, Patterson and Clinton are a great team. Well done! Narrators did an excellent job, and helped propel the story along.

Enjoyable

I enjoyed listening to this book. I listened to it in a day. Make the time read or listen.

Patterson-Clinton did it again!

I must say that Patterson-Clinton certainly have created a wonderful series and I hope they will continue. The performance was wonderful and because of it I listened almost none stop. I rate this book a 5

Terrific story with a cast of excellent readers

It's James Patterson, so, of course the story is going to be a winner. Having Clinton's input adds to the feeling of credibility.
The range of great readers adds even more texture and excitement to the audio experience.

Great Book!

After a slow start that was needed to explain the actions in the story, this was a great read. I loved that the narrators changed for each point of view. I highly recommend this book!

Patterson never fails !

James Patterson and Bill Clinton have came up with a winner again! Its a nail bitter with lots of energy. The cast of performers did a great job. I highly recommend this to everyone!

Really well constructed for keeping you hooked.

Fast paced and difficult to put down. Great detail, likable characters well drawn and great story

A Great Read

Lots of additional details clearly supplied by Bill Clinton leads to a great plot. Well worth a read.

Good story, irksome narration.

Good story line but not an easy narration to listen to due to the over used use of '" I say " when Matt Keating was in dialogue. This became almost irritating only surpassed by the need to find out what happened!

Wow 😮.

Janalgarve.
I loved this book , it really was full of heart stopping twits and turns and I didn’t want to stop listening. The narrators were all fantastic and in my imagination I had a face for every character and their surroundings. The only thing I didn’t like was the references to the types of weapons which were being used - I hadn’t a clue apart from the fact they were guns and I’m supposing this was where Bill Clinton came in but as usual a great read by James Patterson and Bill Clinton. Brilliant.
