NEW YORK -- Richard A. Clarke, the former anti-terrorism adviser whose best-selling Against All Enemies offered a harsh, insider's portrait of the Bush administration, has written a novel.
Clarke's "cutting-edge geopolitical thriller," not yet titled, will be published next year by G.P. Putnam's Sons, an imprint of Penguin Group USA.
"Fiction can often tell the truth better than nonfiction; characters and plot can drive home that truth to the reader more effectively than cold facts and analysis," Clarke, an anti-terrorism adviser at the time of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, said in a statement issued Monday by his publisher.
Fiction is more truthful than non-fiction? Gee Rich, we didn't know you felt that way.
