I wonder who the two of them will get to actually write the book. The last one they did was written in 2018 and Patterson made $86M that year. Don't know how much was tied to that particular title.

I loathe the Patterson style of automated conveyor belt hack factory that he instigated, with each book appallingly written with about 130, 3 page chapters. Everything that is wrong with modern thriller writing.

To say nothing of the fact that in general he doesn't actually write them. A friend of mine adapted one of Patterson's books for the screen - don't remember which one, because I'm not a fan and didn't pay attention - and he said that Patterson took a totally hands off position, because someone else actually wrote "that one." Best thing I can see so far about Patterson is his willingness to give to charities. A literature guy he ain't.
Yeah, his system supposedly is to give the "co author" the title and a very basic plot synopsis and they come up with the novel and he gives them a set fee. His "name" is the guarantee of sales it would appear, a bland formulaic story is all people want. Depressing. Nice to hear about the charity donations though.
