"Code Three" by Rick Raphael is a science fiction narrative likely written in the early 1960s. The story unfolds within a futuristic context where high-speed highways are governed by a unique police force known as the North American Thruway Patrol (NorCon). The focus centers around the dynamic interactions of Patrol Sergeant Ben Martin, his junior partner Patrol Trooper Clay Ferguson, and Medical-Surgical Officer Kelly Lightfoot as they embark on a ten-day patrol through the heavily trafficked and technologically advanced highways of North America. The opening of the book introduces readers to the routines and banter among the characters as they prepare for their patrol duties. Sergeant Martin, along with Ferguson and Lightfoot, is shown gearing up in their specialized patrol vehicle, affectionately named Beulah. The trio’s interactions highlight their camaraderie and individuality, setting the stage for their cooperative dynamic throughout their mission. As they navigate the complexities of their futuristic environment, they confront various challenges, including a serious accident on the busy thruway, illustrating the high stakes of maintaining safety on the roads while integrating a touch of humor and interpersonal challenges into their lives on patrol.
