Newt Gingrich’s oeuvre is distinguished by its sheer quantity and its numbingly repetitive jingoism. Less successful politician-novelists include Barbara Boxer, Gary Hart, and Steve Israel former Congressman Peter King stands out from the pack because of the “ execrable” Islamophobia infecting his work, while former Senator Jim Webb’s military romances are memorable for their deeply weird eroticism. The first president to publish a novel was Jimmy Carter, whose deeply researched Revolutionary War saga, The Hornet’s Nest, was apparently pretty good. Not to be outdone, Hillary Clinton recently announced her own political thriller, co-authored with the mystery writer Louise Penny, about a secretary of state racing to solve a spate of terrorist attacks. Bill Clinton, collaborating with the novelist James Patterson, released The President Is Missing in 2018 (the plot is self-explanatory) the book received middling reviews but positively flew off shelves (a sequel arrived this month). Bored, famous, and perhaps hoping to distract from the inevitable reassessment of their legacies, a couple of ex-presidents and several legislators have tried their hand at fiction over the years. The politician as novelist is certainly nothing new.

Markley is an immensely gifted novelist, but he set himself a nearly impossible task, which appears to be his MO. It is, if nothing else, an astonishing feat of procedural imagination, narrative construction and scientific acumen. Over nearly 900 pages, Markley moves methodically from 2013 to the 2040s, presenting a kaleidoscopic sampling of American citizenry, an unrelenting series of increasingly tragic events and an in-depth examination of the desperate corner into which the world has painted itself. This is an accomplishment - in the way, for example, a city can be the best kind of character - but it also detracts from the novel’s humanity, as the people animating it are secondary to the concepts.

A year later, the two are a couple and have settled in an apartment in Seattle. Exhausted, he stops at a diner and meets a waitress named Rita who sympathizes with his plight and looks after him. Three years later, Jeff has become obsessed with finding out what happened, posting fliers and following leads relentlessly.
