Jun 07, Ron Charles rated it it was ok Shelves: war-fiction , political-fiction. Over the past three years, Bill Clinton and James Patterson have developed a bankable formula: In their previous thriller, a U.
And why not? Readers expecting a sequel, though, will discover that this new novel offers an entirely different cast of characters.
With this brave and monogamous hero, Clinton has once again revealed such a naked fantasy version of himself that you almost feel embarrassed for the man. View all 18 comments.

If they think they've kidnapped some typical college kid who's going to demand a pillow and safe place, Mel is relishing the chance to prove them oh so very wrong.
The first novel by the odd couple of James Patterson and former President Bill Clinton, The President is Missing , was If they think they've kidnapped some typical college kid who's going to demand a pillow and safe place, Mel is relishing the chance to prove them oh so very wrong. The first novel by the odd couple of James Patterson and former President Bill Clinton, The President is Missing , was completely unserious and yet completely entertaining. Now, this plot could be the basis for a serious, weighty, and realistic story.
The West Wing did an arc on this exact idea, and those episodes were some of the most emotional and dramatic of the entire series.
And this book does have some interesting observations about the life of an ex-President. The plot moves quickly, and the book is formatted like a typical Patterson novel, with short chapters and lots of little cliffhangers. Eventually the book becomes a military thriller, written by two men who never served, so get ready for some off notes, some lucky coincidences, and a stunningly resourceful kidnap victim.

The 19 year old daughter of former President Matthew Keating is kidnapped by a Libyan terrorist who blames Keating for the deaths of his wife and three daughters. Keating is at odds with the new president, his former vice president, so he forms his own plan to get revenge for the kidnapping.
He uses his contacts in the current administration, as well as contacts he made around the world, to launch a military style operation.

At the same time, Chinese spies have their own plans with respect to the kidnapping. I liked this book more than the first book in the series. Although there is no denying that the plot is improbable, the book is always entertaining and sometimes thrilling.
I hope the authors continue with the series. I listened to the audiobook which was narrated by a full cast. I did recognize the first voice on the recording, it was Dion Graham. As always, he was terrific.

I enjoyed the fact that each chapter was a first-person narrative by different people. I got a personal perspective of a number of pe I was surprised by this book. I got a personal perspective of a number of people which to me made it more interesting. The story is action packed. I found it interesting that there was information about the relationship between the US and the various countries in the story. The book is a good read, and I recommend it.
I read this as a hard back book. Jun 01, Whispering Stories rated it it was amazing. Book Reviewed on www. The book is delivered in five parts with an epilogue at the end. The chapters are short and we see the action in the present tense from a multitude of perspectives in the third person. When we spend time with Keating, the story is told in the first per Book Reviewed on www.
When we spend time with Keating, the story is told in the first person. We meet a SEAL team on a mission to capture a notorious terrorist; as an opening hook, this works well as a catalyst for events that follow and Keating has made a vengeful enemy for life. We witness the adjustment Keating has to make when he no longer has the ultimate power he enjoyed as president. However, this makes her an easy target for a terrorist group who want to extract revenge on her father for ordering the neutralisation of their leader, Asim Al-Asheed.
Will the former president remain passive as the agencies of state try to find his daughter? As an ex-SEAL, the answer to the latter question is emphatically no. He will go back into the field and to the ends of the earth if necessary to find his child.
What unfolds is a story based on the tried and trusted theme of good versus evil. The pages are filled with political intrigue, in-fighting, rivalry, jealously, resentment, frustration, anger, blackmail, betrayal, and fear, versus the unconditional love and loyalty and shared values of a committed family.
There are many diverse individuals, as one would expect in a real life situation but it is often difficult to incorporate so many names into a book. The co-authors get around this by giving the reader a succinct backstory to embed each new person, no matter how brief their appearance. I enjoyed the supercharged relationships between some of the characters, particularly the sour dynamic between Keating and his former vice-president. As with the previous book written by this partnership, the plot, structure and syntax, read very much like a trademark James Patterson novel with literary techniques galore.
I award 4. Aug 16, Woman Reading rated it liked it Shelves: 3-and-half-stars-worthwhile-read , thriller-or-suspense. Because while this thriller is fast-paced entertainment, it also requires a hefty suspension of disbelief. Think of the POTUS from "Independence Day," sprinkle on the father's desperation from "Taken," and then from other films, add some action from an elite military squad against a terrorist cell.
I haven't read their first effort. Clinton's involvement was clear in the depiction of the down-and-dirty politicking, D. As a congressman, vice president, and then POTUS, I at least had the illusion that I could make decisions and choices, and most times, they were followed through with as they filtered down through the bureaucracy.
The President's Daughter had a strong and engaging beginning. Keating described the SEALs' target, Asim Al-Asheed - as a "freelance terrorist with no ties to a nation-state, like one of the evil types Ian Fleming used to come up with back when things were simpler, but with a worldwide network of supporters. Although the plot's pacing remained brisk, Clinton's wishful thinking began to emerge. Not only was former POTUS Keating a veritable eagle scout who was respectful of civil employees, suspicious of politicians' agendas, and yet free of underhanded political machination, but he was also a retired SEAL.
And the fraternity and bonds of the military were titanium strong because the kinds of assistance an ex-politician, even a former POTUS, could muster were eyebrow-raising. The men and women out there now, in the field, doing their very best to find Mel - I trust and believe in them.
But their superiors, the directors and bureaucrats with clean fingernails and stained consciences? Not so much. Out there in those government buildings are deals to be made, grudges to be maintained, and in this emerging crisis, I know that some hard hearted souls will be seeing this as an opportunity for their own advancement, and nothing else. The story did benefit from the political maneuvering between the current and the newly retired POTUS.
The plotline was further flavored by outside interference reflecting that we're in a global society. And given current geopolitical realities, the two authors had chosen an operative from China. This was my second novel from James Patterson , and I remain on the fence about his books. This type of scenario could have turned very intense and gritty but the two authors didn't take The President's Daughter in that direction.
And I couldn't help but compare the historical accounts with the imaginary depictions which sometimes augmented but usually decreased my level of enjoyment. I'm giving this 3. It's a popcorn thriller that will be very satisfying for some. View all 5 comments. My review is on my website www. What I loved about how Bill Clinton and James Patterson is how they had the knack for setting the scenes in the rooms so well with all polished floors filling cabinets, computers, and television screens, it all clearly tapped into my imagination to imagine every room and every character.
He has always cared about his family and his country. Alarm bells should ring for Mr. President when he is told, terrorists are keying up to strike to kill him. What the president is not expecting is for his daughter Mel Keating to be kidnapped. This is every parents nightmare. My mouth went dry fearing the horror of what the kidnappers will do to Mel. The president now has the tough challenges ahead is trying to get his daughter back. The biggest question is just how is the president going to get Mel home and will he have to strike a deal with the kidnappers to get his daughter back safely?

Some of those decisions come back to haunt him years in the future when he is now the former president and his daughter is kidnapped. President Keating has a squeaky clean image, sometimes a bit too much but it works for this type of novel.
