Book Description:
When the NSAs 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.

This is a most excellent suspense/thriller that kept me reading. I never wanted to put it down. If you liked the DaVinci Code and Demons & Angels, then you'll love this too!

This is an enjoyable high-tech thriller from the best-selling author of The DaVinci Code and Angels and Demons. The story shifts quite frequently between suburban Washington (NSA headquarters) and Spain, so you get the feeling of jump-cuts like in a film. While several of the technology references are certainly outdated (ISDN, Netscape for instance), the story still holds together quite well. If you enjoy Dan Brown's breezy style, and especially if you work in IT or are interested in computer security, Digital Fortress is highly recommended.

Barbara M. (One of Dan Browns Best. Forget the Davinci Code. This Book is PG and won't corrupt the youth. In fact it will appeal to the teen culture with its techno-speak and thrill seeking altruistic causes. True to his writing ability it is a page turner that will keep you up all night wanting to know what is going to happen next. I'm sure he didn't sell as many copies of this one because it is not controversial, but it is a better book overall.
