Synopsis

Before the multi-million, runaway bestseller The Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown set his razor-sharp research and storytelling skills on the most powerful intelligence organization on earth—the National Security Agency (NSA)—in this thrilling novel, Digital Fortress. 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.

BookLender review by Elie on 2007-06-26 21:40:13

While not the DaVinci Code, one only has to go through the first dozen pages to tell it is the same author. Dan Brown's attention to detail is extrordinary, his action is not gratuitous, and the reader definitely gets a sense of being a part of the drama. Once you begin reading this book you can't put it down. Highly recommended for fans of techno-espionage thrillers.
