SPOILERS:
An easy and enjoyable read but oh my god I was so frustrated at the very end when it took them about 20 pages to figure out what the whole ‘prime difference between elements’ code meant. This is supposed to be a room full of some of the most intelligent people in the US and it takes them that long to realise it’s the difference in number of neutrons between isotopes. It was a hilariously simple code (actually it wasn’t even a code it was a literal instruction) and the struggle they had to solve it felt very unrealistic.
