Nicholas M. (nickandkatie) reviewed You read it and think "Wow, a stereotypical novel." on 1/2/2009

Helpful Score: 2

This was the first of Brown's novels I had read, and it looks likely to be my last. The characters were as flat as pancakes and not especially believable, Brown's treatment of the technology shallow and uninteresting, and the sadistic coworker villain straight from central casting. Next!

Check out Neal Stephenson's tome "Cryptonomicon" for a good novel with cryptography as a plot element.
