The President Is Missing by James Patterson and Bill Clinton

President Jonathan Duncan is under fire because he made a phone call to one of the world's most famous cyber terrorists.  The Speaker of the House and even the Vice President are talking impeachment.  What they don't know is that the country is in eminent threat of a massive cyber attack that could topple America's economy.  Duncan has also discovered that one of his top advisers is a traitor working with the terrorists. Not knowing who he can trust, Jonathan Duncan puts his own life on the line to uncover the virus and its creator and stop them both before it is too late.

That sounds pretty cheesy as a plot, and it was, but I actually really enjoyed this book.  It isn't going to win any Pulitzer prizes, but it was fast paced, exciting, and suspenseful.  Because of the authorship I wondered what was inspired by reality, and what was purely fantasy.  Does the president really have a variety of top secret, totally technically decked out hiding places he can go to during a crisis?  Are there really close and trusting relationships between some world leaders and other world leaders?  Are a president's top staffers really as capable and awesome as they are portrayed?

Caveat, this is what I would classify as a male targeted action/adventure.  That means there is quite a bit of description of violent battle scenes including some gore, some mention of sexual abuse of women, and (mostly biblical) profanity. I didn't feel like it was gratuitous, but if you are bothered by that kind of thing, this is one to skip. (2018, 513 p.)
