Book Description:
When the NSA's invincible code-breaking machine encounters a mysterious code it cannot break, the agency calls its head cryptographer, Susan Fletcher, a brilliant, beautiful mathematician. What she uncovers sends shock waves through the corridors of power. The NSA is being held hostage--not by guns or bombs -- but by a code so complex that if released would cripple U.S. intelligence. Caught in an accelerating tempest of secrecy and lies, Fletcher battles to save the agency she believes in. Betrayed on all sides, she finds herself fighting not only for her country but for her life, and in the end, for the life of the man she loves.Members who requested this book also requested:

It was good enough to keep me reading, but seemed to go on and on. Outdated on computer security.

Fast-paced, quick chapters, same style as his other novels. I am in the Software profession so I particularly enjoyed this plot unfolding.

Another fast-paced, Dan Brown thriller, Digital Fortress is a good read, based on a breach of the National Security Agency's code breaking machine and the consequent adventures of its head cryptographer, Susan Fletcher and her super-resourceful, self-effacing, crafty linguist fiancee, David Becker as they try to save the day!

One of Dan Brown's (The Da Vinci Code) earlier stories. This one is about codebreaking and the NSA. Dan Brown's typical intellectual thriller.

Donna C. from KENT, WA wrote on 5/29/2007...dan brown is an excellent author. this book is as good as the devinci code
Mary B. S. from SAINT LOUIS, MO wrote on 3/25/2007...A little technical for me but a good story of codebreaking and national security.
oversize - softback - National Security Agency secret code thriller. An unbreakable code is discovered being used, and NSA is unable to break it - it's for he suspense keeps getting thicker and thicker.
Top notch story.
This is a great book, except that it uses the same formula as Dan Brown's other books
