Good thriller but several plot issues. Why would the johadists who bought the Timor try to trick France into a nuclear strike against Russia???? Second, if telephone communication from Titan to Formidable was open the whole time(socks call Grandchamp at end) why didn’t Alforst or socks try to call sooner and have socks explain the whole Timor trick. Grandchamp believed him and aborted the strike with no explanation at the end.
