James Patterson has always been a favorite author of mine--always--I have read many of his novels--but none of them hit me with the force this one did. Collaborating with Bill Clinton they wrote a novel that should open your eyes to what could and may already be going on in this crazy world we now live in. The political arena is in worse shape then I ever remember it--they only look out for their interests--not caring who they step on to get what they want.
I did not stop reading this novel for one NY second--it was gripping with twists and turns and thoroughly thought provoking. I think this book should be required reading for all college aged students especially those going into the political arena!
There is a speech near the end by President Duncan which left me close to tears but finding myself wishing it could be so. That was by far a speech every politician and President should read and live by here and all around the world.

Bill Clinton
William Jefferson Clinton was the 42nd president of the United States. Under his leadership, the country enjoyed the strongest economy in a generation and the longest economic expansion in United States history. President Clinton's core values of building community, creating opportunity, and demanding responsibility resulted in unprecedented progress for America, including moving the nation from record deficits to record surpluses; the creation of over 22 million jobs--more than any other administration; low levels of unemployment, poverty, and crime; and the highest home ownership and college enrollment rates in history. After leaving the White House, President Clinton established the William J. Clinton Foundation with the mission to strengthen the capacity of people in the United States and throughout the world to meet the challenges of global interdependence. His Clinton Global Initiative brings together global leaders to devise and implement innovative solutions to some of the world's most pressing issues. He served as the UN Envoy for Tsunami Recovery and is now the UN Special Envoy to Haiti.

I have heard a lot of good things about James Patterson's writing.
I love how you include a link in your review for us to be able to read some samples of the book! That is extra useful in knowing if it feels and sounds like the right book for someone or not, by being able to sample some of it. Thanks for doing that.
I love James Patterson books. It is unfortunate that he chose to partner with an infamous person. That will hurt sales.
Hopefully this is only Bill's 1st of many novels.
It sounds like an interesting read. I would never have imagined how our political system has turned out. There is a ad lack of any leadership. I think the whole system is corrupt.
