Launch code is a great read. Set between the present day and November 1983 it tells the story of a near miss aboard a US submarine and how close the world was to ending had a slightly different course of action occurred.
Bill Guth, submarine lieutenant, now lives in England and is hosting the annual thanksgiving dinner for his family. During the meal, secrets begin to be revealed and more questions are asked than can easily be answered.
Launch Code is a fast faced thriller which keeps the reader guessing right up until the end. Going back and forth between time periods and having a core group of key characters makes it flow and keeps the readers attention. Whilst it may be a work of fiction, it is worrisome that some of the themes could become reality and that we never really quite know what is going on within our defences.
