Summary

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 National Security Agency’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. It is a battle for survival—a crucial bid to destroy a creation of inconceivable genius that threatens to obliterate the balance of world power…for all time.

"Exciting...will rivet cyber-minded readers." ( Booklist)

Engaging and smart

I love Dan Brown books, they always dive deep into the subject matter, this one been computers and the ethics of power and control. Although this one was different to his other books which had mystical powers, cults, religion and the best of historic facts.
I liked the variety of characters of this book and what they each brought to the story.

Entertaining light reading

Good story. But of a predictable ending, as always the research and detail of Dan's work is outstanding.

Not as good a story as his others

Bought this off the back of his other books like the lost symbol, inferno and if course the davinci code. Found this one to be too drawn out, especially the ending, seemed to go on for ever, without any real value to the story which was a shame as this was the thing I ended up taking away from it. Disappointed
