“Trident Code” is the follow up to last year’s mile a minute cyber attack thriller, “Lethal Code”. As with the previous book, “Trident Code” was pretty intense and required the reader to suspend reality and to accept some rather unlikely scenarios.

While the previous book involved multiple cyperattacks, in this book there is really just one, but it involves a nuclear submarine. Yet again, the US is portrayed as woefully unprepared and once again it is only a handful of heroes who can save the day. To say that this doesn’t seem credible is putting it mildly. However, if you are willing suspend reality and accept the worst case scenarios presented by the author as you read the book, then it becomes a fun race-to-the-end story.

This is a fast-paced police procedural that spans a two day period. DS Allie Shenton is at a cross roads in her life. Her beloved sister, who was horribly brain-damaged in an attack seventeen years before, has taken a turn for the worse and may not have much more time.

Even though her personal life is at a breaking point, Allie is called in to help solve a puzzling murder. The story takes us through the almost hourly process of finding clues, processing information, and interviewing suspects. We get to see how the picture of the crime is reconstructed from the bits and pieces and how each bit of information reveals the next step in solving the crime.
