Back Channel: A novel by Stephen L. Carter
4.0
You know those books that invigorate you? That lead you to read other books, especially nonfiction and everything else the author has written? That leave you aching to talk to someone about the book?
This was my first of 2015, and a wonderful one. Any aspect that seemed historically unlikely was worked in such a fashion as to be believable, nay, desirable. Suspenseful despite knowing the general outcome, spies, Russians, nuclear weapons, academia, and patriotism. Fantastic.
Now I must go to the library to further my knowledge. The time period involved must be one of the most thrilling in American history, if it comes even close to this fictionalized account.
