Description
From the world's #1 bestselling author, 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

5By Gary43Keeps you on the edge of your seat, chapter after chapterBlow back
5By Bee britchesThis is obviously a five star book. in the first 1/3 of the book the authors biases were obvious against Donald Trump and the conservative political party. After we got past the first third of the book you’re writing to look for exciting and moved rapidly. I’m not sure that I’ll be reading anymore of Mr. Patterson’s books.

3By olddue1Great page turner but wildly unrealistic. It was fun to read and has food for thought. Stereotypes, clichés and nonsense linked by breathless prose.Great book
