3.0 out of 5 stars More Detail Please 13 Dec 2000
By C. Kuschel-Toerber
Format:Hardcover
Having been a long-time fan of Mr Follett's early work, I was a bit disappointed by his last two novels (The Third Twin & The Hammer of Eden).

"Code to Zero", which is again set in the Eastern US, starts off quite well and is an entertaining read over all, but after finishing it (which doesn't take very long at barely 300 pages net) I found it suffered from the same flaws that Ken Follett's other recent novels had: it's just too superficial.

The lost memory idea is not really new, but a gifted author like Mr Follett should have made so much more out of a pretty simple storyline. Like its two predecessors, "Code to Zero" reads like a TV-thriller script which includes a strangely shallow love interest sideline.

I'd rather wait two or even three years for a new Follett novel that's up to the standards of "The Pillars of the Earth", "Night Over Water" or "Eye of the Needle" than be slightly disappointed again by another rush-job like the new book.

I really wish this review could've been more positive, but in comparison to earlier Follett classics "Code to Zero" is a terribly flat affair.

5.0 out of 5 stars SUSPENSE IS HEIGHTENED BY ACCOMPLISHED READERS 8 Dec 2000
By A Customer
Espionage is at the core of this Cold War era thriller and the suspense sizzles. The time is 1958 when the space race was young and the Soviets seemed to be outdistancing the America. The protagonist is an inventive, complex study - he's Dr. Claude Lucas, an important cog in a new space launch. However, he's also a victim of amnesia, an apparent vagrant in Washington D.C.'s Union Station. Toss in the CIA, a covey of spies, and an old college buddy of Lucas's who is more foe than friend. Some might deem this a classic take on chased and chasers - not so. Thanks to the deft Mr. Follett, it's a no-holds-barred, riveting epic. And, so are the readings. Frank Muller, who has been featured on over 150 audiobooks, offers a splendid rendering of crisp, character driven dialogue in the two abridged versions on cassette and CD. While Obie award-winner George Guidall, an actor for 40 plus years, reads the unabridged version. He takes sinister and dramatic to their zenith.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book 14 Jan 2001
By A Customer
Format:Hardcover
This book had me reading it at all hours wanting to know what was going to happen next. This is the first Ken Follett book I have read so I can not compare it to others but I will certainly be reading others. The book at nearly "400" pages may have been a little short for some people but over all a good read and gets my thumbs up!

An excellent book, as expected from Ken Follett. His research is always well carried out and the story really makes you want to keep on reading.

3.0 out of 5 stars Okay
Not the most riveting Ken Follett I have read, it is about average for a spook book. Lots of twists but I think the baddie is pretty obvious from the beginning.

3.0 out of 5 stars Average
Ken Follett's books are always light relief: a good read. I chose this one because of the low price (I think I got it as a special offer) and the 4 star average rating by reviewers... Read more

The fact I can't remember it does not speak well of this book. You should not give much weight to this assessment!
