"I am big Ken Follett fan and this was the first book of his I picked. He carries the stories and personalities of his characters through years and sets them in the historical moments of the space race."
"I found this book exceedingly entertaining. In most spy thriller books you know from the beginning the good guy, the bad guy, and the basic construction of the final confrontation scene. In this book because of the main character's amnesia, I spend almost the entire book wondering is he good? Or is this a Bourne Identity (movie not book) situation? The same applied to the ancillary characters. Who is the Russian spy? Was anybody an actual spy? Were the people pursuing the hero doing so because they were loyal Americans mistaking him for a spy, or because they were spies themselves? I found the final actions of the final antagonist bizarre and unrealistic, but otherwise I highly recommend this book."
"The character interaction was awkward and there was some serious TMI. The plot concept was a good one and would have been enjoyable if the character development and interaction had even been mediocre."
"Very Good; man with loss of memory tries to figure out who he is, then once he has to determine why his memory was wiped and what it has to do with a rocket launch. Set in late 1950s."
