I was absolutely gripped by this book. I loved the blend of politics and human emotion throughout. The explanation of the more technical sides was well done and added good context to the plot. I loved the way the intensity built slowly at the start but got exponentially more intense. Through to the end I was holding out hope they would somehow find a way to avoid nuclear war, but had the dread of knowing it would come. It’s a shame the US doesn’t have such a level headed president now!
