Most Dan Brown fans will probably enjoy this book, as will those that like techno-thrillers. However, as a few other reviewers have noted, if you are computer-savvy (or in the field of computer security as I am), this book will make you cringe. Dan Brown obviously has very little understanding of the technical realities of computer systems and security. It was amusing at first, but just got too annoying.

Again, most fans will probably be satisfied with the book. Computer geeks are advised not to waste time reading it. It will just tick you off.

Warning: if you know how physical and computer security works, your ability to suspend disbelief will be sorely tested. In particular, the idea of where the main computer core's power supply should be.

Still a fun read, and for me, funny.

Whent he National Security Agency runs into an unbreakable code everything starts to go bad. The head cryptographer, Susan, and her fiancee' David are in for a wild ride and there is a time limit on both of them. Can she decode the final encryption of Enai Tankado in time to save the NSA's super computer? Very good read and it definitely sparks alot of questions about what type of security our government really does have.

One of best action novels every read. Outstanding.
