Audio Book Summary

Abridged edition.

Code to Zero is a fast-paced thriller about the satellite space race in the Cold War, from the master of suspense and author of The Pillars of the Earth, Ken Follett.

A Man with No Memory
A man wakes up to find himself lying on the ground in a railway station, his mind stripped bare of all recollection. He has no idea how he got there; he does not even know his own name. Convinced he is a drunken down and out, it isn’t until a newspaper report about a satellite launch catches his eye, that he suspects all is not what it seems . . .

A Race for the Future
The year is 1958, and America is about to launch its first satellite in a desperate attempt to match the Soviet Sputnik and regain the lead in the space race. As Luke Lucas gradually unravels the mystery of his amnesia, he realizes that his fate is bound up with that of the rocket that stands ready on launch pad 26B at Cape Canaveral.

A World on the Brink
As he relearns the story of his life, he uncovers long-kept secrets about his wife, his best friend and the woman he once loved more than life itself. But even more terrifying is the dark secret they tried to make him forget, a secret that threatens America’s survival.

    Classic Follett at his best. A truly unique plot told brilliantly. The twists and turns, embellished with the background and stories of the characters, kept me gripped throughout. In fact I was so held I had to binge this book over two days. The technical elements were also fascinating. Once again, Follett makes it impossible to differentiate the fiction from reality - it could easily be a true story. And skilfully narrated as well. I loved it!

    I knew of Ken Follett from his brilliant Pillars of Earth series, so this novel was a divergence. His writing style showed through an created an exciting mystery from the first paragraph. The Narrator, Lorelei King, brought the story to life; using her skills to give each character a recognisable accent. Thoroughly enjoyed the novel.
