Most authors specialize in one particular genre. Ken Follett has the extraordinary talent to write anything. My first introduction to him was Pillars of the Earth. This spurred me on to its sequel World Without End and I was hooked. On Wings of Eagles proved him a master of both fiction and non-fiction. Code to Zero is set in the post WWII Cold War Era. The Soviet Union is winning the space race and the United States is desperate to catch up. Claude Lucas, a rocket scientist, wakes up in a public restroom with no memory of his past. A search for his past and the reason for his amnesia weave the reader on a hunt for the truth. As his past is revealed so is a conspiracy by his closest friends but the exact purpose of the treachery remains masterfully concealed until the end. In the end Dr. Luke Lucas had to lose his memory to find his mind. Some of the details strained my intellect and took up residence on the edge of possibility but at the conclusion of the last page, the Code to Zero proves a masterful piece of writing by a man at the top of his game. I recommend this to all Ken Follett fans and anyone that is looking for a masterly suspenseful read.
