I had this book in my library for a year and finally got to it and loved it. The thing Ken Follett does is he puts real history in his books. This book is set in Huntsville AL, at Red Stone Arsnal base,I live in Huntsville and i was blew back by how much he knew about this place.Now a little about the book you have Luke that has lost his memory and he is peacing everything back together.His college friends help him out with his memory or did they cause memory loss? The NASA race hits home and Luke is the missing link he has a lot of info he just cant remember what he knows..Check it out

I LOVE KEN FOLLETT!!!

The excellent narration told the story of space/rocketry in the late 50's. I liked learning about the events that happened though the story of the lead character was rather weak.

Found this book difficult to stop listening to.
I listen to audio books all the time while driving, before I go to bed, while doing tasks, relaxing. And this one was exciting that I wanted to just lay down and listen to!!!

Another excellent Follett book!

As always with Ken Follet's books I got mesmerized and involved in the plot. Sure, there are some illogical moments but overall the story is involving and credoble.

Ken Follet has done it again!
