Description
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, 1958—the darkest hour of the Cold War and the early dawn of the space race. On the launch pad at Cape Canaveral sits America’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 he’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 I—and America’s future. . . .

One to Zero
5By BjT srA great story that will hold your inter3st to the very last line…Great Book
5By TerriLou1This a good book with an exciting story line. But there is a glaring mistake in the first paragraph of the epilogue. Dr Van Allen was not at Iowa State University. He was in fact at the University of Iowa. There is a big difference between Iowa State and the University of Iowa.Code to Zero. Ken Follett
5By Wet againA man wakes up and finds himself lying on the ground with another man he does not recognize. He suddenly realizes he has no idea how he got there or who he is. What fold is a tale of deceit, treason and the betrayal of his wife who is actually a Russian Colonel and his friend Anthony also a Russian agent. They are both trying to hold the United States back in the space race. This excellent read weaves into its story actual fact mixed with fictional characters. Enjoyed immensely !!!Great story line
5By daft do vcc c hI think this was one of his best read in 2 night S and I’m not a readerWorst follet book
1By stgoldb99I have read so many of his books. This was not worth the time or money!Don't waste your time or money!
2By Strawberryshortcake5476577It seemed good at first...but the characters are shallow and you can figure out what's going to happen after about 50 pages. Kept waiting for a plot twist, never happened. I hated the heroines by the end and was pulling for the villains. It reads like it was written in a hurry.Code to Zero
4By gratefulsteedEntertaining and suspenseful. A few surprises.Code to Zero
5By NWbwormA high speed thriller, full of Cold War intrigue, romance, betrayal and science. Well researched, with compelling characters and an imaginative plot line. Although it was a bit predictable, it was , none the less, nearly impossible to put down.Code to Zero
3By R HillburyVery good character and plot development. It fell apart at the end with the unbelievable / “Hollywood” ending. A disappointment.Fast and exciting
