From the New York Times bestselling author of The President Is Missing, America has elected its most brilliant president ever, but he’s also a psychopath—and about to start a world war with our most dangerous enemy.

US President Keegan Barrett has swept into office on his success as Director of the CIA. Six months into his first term, he devises a clandestine power grab with deadly consequences.

Barrett personally orders CIA agents Liam Grey and Noa Himel to execute his plan, but their loyalties are divided. The CIA serves at the pleasure of the president, yet they’ve sworn to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

When the threat comes directly from the Oval Office, that’s where the blowback begins.

“Pure Patterson… Blowback asks us to imagine what would happen if a narcissistic psychopath were elected to the White House [and] to experience the terror of the world hanging in the balance at a moment when only a handful of determined patriots can save us.” –Ron Charles, Washington Post

I love James Patterson and always enjoy his books. Personally this one wasn’t my favorite though. A lot of characters thrown at you in the beginning so I had a little bit of a hard time following. Overall a good listen though.

Good but not my fav

The end wraps up too quickly for me but it’s a tremendous read. Relevant as usual with Patterson.

Solid but left me wanting a little more.

I bit confusingly written jumping from one character to another. The story had little time to develop until the ending began to formulate.
Still, it's a Patterson and worth the time even if it isn't one of his best.

Good, but not amongst Patterson's best.
