Video transcript:

President Bill Clinton: Hi, I’m President Bill Clinton. That impressive looking fellow is James Patterson.

James Patterson: Well, thank you. President Clinton and I have written a novel together, it’s called The President Is Missing. It’s about a United States President who’s involved in a terrifying world crisis and goes missing. Sound dramatic? It is.

President Bill Clinton: I’m not going to spoil the suspense and tell you where the president is or why he’s missing. In other words, you have to read The President Is Missing to find out the ending. I think that’s more than fair.

James Patterson: I agree. But we will tell you this much. The President Is Missing will take you right into the White House. This novel will make you feel the impossible decisions, the stress, the dangers out there in today’s world. And the importance of the American presidency.

President Bill Clinton: Being president is a profound honor, but it can also be the most difficult job in the world. Because every day brings something new, and it’s not all good.

James Patterson: The following cliché happens to be true about The President Is Missing: you absolutely, positively, will not put this novel down. It’s full of twists and turns, kind of like being president.

President Bill Clinton: Jim, you have no idea.
