Pretty good spy novel set in 60s as US is trying to send up first successful satellite. Story stretches believability but pretty good pace. A very good and fast read. I loved the setting and the characters were interesting. It's amazing how much better this was than another rocket sabotage book that I read recently by Tom Clancy. Where that one was full of extraneous characters and extra locations and techno-babble, this book was streamlined and arrow sharp. I almost gave it less than a four-star rating due to the blandness of the prose and the somewhat predictable plot. However, the author managed to inject tension in every page and keep everything real, creating a definitely recommendable read. This is the first of Follett's books I've ever read, and I wasn't too impressed. I've read many books that were set in the past, but for some reason this one seemed to be dated to me, and I'm not sure why. I also kinda caught on about three quarters of the way through, which usually doesn't happen to me, because I usually like to let the book dictate what happens, instead of trying to figure it out, but this one just clicked. All in all, it was a good, Interesting story. A fun little spy novel, but nothing really more than that. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

HTML:In this classic Cold War thriller, #1 New York Times bestselling author Ken Follett puts his own electrifying twist on the space race between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. As the clock counts down to a shocking climax, "Code to Zero's split-second suspense proves that . . . [Follett is] still a hell of a storyteller" (Entertainment Weekly). January, 1958â??the darkest hour of the Cold War and the early dawn of the space race. On the launch pad at Cape Canaveral sits Americaâ??s best hope to catch up with the Russians: the Explorer I satellite. But at the last moment, the launch is delayed due to weather, even though everyone can see it is a perfectly sunny day. The real reason for the delay rests deep in the mind of a NASA scientist who has awoken that morning to find his memory completely erased. Knowing only that heâ??s being followed and watched at every turn, he must find the clues to his own identity before he can discover who is responsible. But even more terrible is the dark secret that they want him to forget. A secret that can destroy the Explorer Iâ??and Americaâ??s future. . . .
