“Jim and I always have a great time writing together, but we’re admittedly pretty tough on our fictional presidents,” Clinton said in a statement shared with PEOPLE. “We’ve sent one chief executive into hiding to stop a global terror attack, and thrust another into a deadly firefight to protect his family. In our new book, we really take the gloves off. I hope this one is as much fun to read as it was to write.”
“President Clinton and I have written a couple of well-received thrillers so far. ButThe First Gentlemanis at a whole new level,” Patterson said. “When we first got writing — two presidential administrations ago — we simply could not have dreamt this one up.”
