Negative Positive
Title: Exciting historical novel
Review: Follet's Code to Zero shows me that the horrible "Third Twin" is just an abberration on his otherwise great collection of novels.Code to Zero, written in 2000, covers the 2 days preceding the launch of the United States' first successful satellite rocket launch.The story revolves around 4 friends who met at Harvard before WWII. Follet throws in some background about Luke, Anthony, Elspeth, and Billie's days at Harvard and then time spent as spies during the war. The lives of the four are intertwined till the very end and there is love and betrayal at every corner.Follett's strength is his charactarization and his research of the time period and the subject matter. This is a solid novel that is fun to read, but the end isn't a jolting climax, just a logical ending to all that preceded it.
