Hope Never Dies: An Obama Biden Mystery (Obama Biden Mysteries Book 1)
>Vice President Joe Biden and President Barack Obama team up in this high-stakes thriller that combines a mystery worthy of Watson and Holmes with the laugh-out-loud bromantic chemistry of Lethal Weapon’s Murtaugh and Riggs.
>Vice President Joe Biden is fresh out of the Obama White House and feeling adrift when his favorite railroad conductor dies in a suspicious accident, leaving behind an ailing wife and a trail of clues. To unravel the mystery, “Amtrak Joe” re-teams with the only man he’s ever fully trusted: the 44th president of the United States. Together they’ll plumb the darkest corners of Delaware, traveling from cheap motels to biker bars and beyond, as they uncover the sinister forces advancing America’s opioid epidemic.
>Part noir thriller and part bromance, Hope Never Dies is essentially the first published work of Obama/Biden fiction—and a cathartic read for anyone distressed by the current state of affairs.

> Blood Song as a one-off book is astounding
To clarify for anyone reading this, Blood Song has a story that stands alone, but it also has sequels. Blood Song is one of my favorite fantasy books of all time. You can buy it right now for $2.99, and I recommend it to anyone who loves progression fantasy, although it probably doesn't strictly fall into that genre. Its sequels are some of my least favorite fantasy novels I've ever read. I fortunately read them long enough ago that I have mostly forgotten them and can enjoy Blood Song again as the stand-alone novel it was meant to be.
tldr read Blood Song, don't read sequels
This is quite a wild fan fic you have wrote.
It's like I'm reading an excerpt from https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077X12YNG/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1
Published a decade ago. The author has an extensive IT background. The basic premise was plausible then, imagine how much further we’ve advanced since. Kill Decision https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0073XV2W2/
Shibumi: A Novel by Trevanian
"A classic spy novel from the bestselling author, Trevanian, about a westerner raised in Japan who becomes one of the world's most accomplished assassins."
"Nicholai Hel is the world’s most wanted man. Born in Shanghai during the chaos of World War I, he is the son of an aristocratic Russian mother and a mysterious German father and is the protégé of a Japanese Go master. Hel survived the destruction of Hiroshima to emerge as the world’s most artful lover and its most accomplished—and well-paid—assassin. Hel is a genius, a mystic, and a master of language and culture, and his secret is his determination to attain a rare kind of personal excellence, a state of effortless perfection known only as shibumi."
"Now living in an isolated mountain fortress with his exquisite mistress, Hel is unwillingly drawn back into the life he’d tried to leave behind when a beautiful young stranger arrives at his door, seeking help and refuge. It soon becomes clear that Hel is being tracked by his most sinister enemy—a supermonolith of international espionage known only as the Mother Company. The battle lines are drawn: ruthless power and corruption on one side, and on the other . . . shibumi."
The Sandman Slim series has been a very guilty pleasure of mine. Urban fantasy. It's like really great fast food; not exactly mentally nourishing but eminently readable.
Oh man, this book looks amazing. It appears to be a thriller written by a machine learning bot fed Fox News stories.

Considering that James Patterson and President Clinton wrote a book about the president being MIA (but for a completely different reason), I wouldn’t put it past Trump to attempt it.

I've noticed a lot of these people view the world as just one big hierarchy where there has to be someone holding power over another at all times. When they hear someone say they don't like the country and want to make it better for minorities, women, LGBT people, etc. they think it means those people want to take control of the top spot on the hierarchy, which means straight white cis dudes with old fashioned values get kicked to the bottom.
From personal experience on a smaller scale, I see this a lot in the pro writing community. There's always complaining that publishers wanting diverse casts and diverse authors means straight white guys have no chance to tell their stories, but this unironic right wing power fantasy got published by an actual company and made money. POC and LGBT stories/authors being picked up more often doesn't mean there aren't any opportunities for everyone else. It just means they lost their unfair advantage now that all stories are being told. That's a pretty good metaphor for the liberal view of equality I guess.

Timeline byMichael Crichton. 4 stars Amazon avg with 2,171 customer reviews
"In this thriller from the author of Jurassic Park, Sphere, and Congo, a group of young scientists travel back in time to medieval France on a daring rescue mission that becomes a struggle to stay alive."
IMHO, vastly better than Outlander which I felt was little more than a bodice ripper.
Much of Trevanian's novel Shibumi is set in the Basque country of Spain. One of my favorite spy thrillers.
The great thing about Trevanian is you never know exactly if he's putting you on.
