Bill gives James class and James gives Bill sexed-up plotting * Sunday Times *

immaculate… the writing is taut -- Josh Glancy * Sunday Times *
Marry the political savvy of Bill Clinton with the craftsmanship of James Patterson and you get
a fabulously entertaining thriller that is meticulous in its portrayal of Washington politics,
gripping in its pacing, and harrowing in its depiction of the perils of cyberwarfare.
