Book
Code to zero / Ken Follett.
A man wakes up shaking with fear on the cold rest room floor in Union Station, Washington, D.C. He doesn't know how he got there, or even his own name. His ragged, dirty clothes imply that he's a bum, probably getting over a bender. But something seems terribly wrong--and shadowy figures follow his every move. Searching for answers, the man uncovers a shocking truth that threatens to derail America's space program, even while Cape Canaveral counts down to liftoff.

Explorer I is about to blast off at Cape Canaveral, ready to challenge Sputnik in space, and Luke Lucas finds himself lying on the ground in a train station. He doesn't remember who he is, but he does know a terrible secret that could affect blast-off and peace in the time of Cold War. Sounds like a classic Follett thriller.

With Eye of the Needle and the numerous novels that followed, Follett established himself as a master of the thriller. This latest tale of Cold War espionage is one more bit of evidence. In a narrative that moves smoothly between the World War II years and 1958, when the Soviet Union began the space race by launching Sputnik, Follett reminds us of an almost forgotten time when the very thought of Soviet successes in space terrified us. Scientist and former OSS agent Dr. Claude ("Luke") Lukas knows that something terrible will happen to a coming space launch, but he has been drugged and now suffers from amnesia. What follows is the taut and exciting story of Luke's attempt to find his identity and stop an unknown disaster from occurring. Recommended for all popular fiction collections.
