Chillingly current and filled with more intelligence secrets than Tom Clancy, Digital Fortress transports the reader deep within the most powerful intelligence organization on earth--the National Security Agency (NSA)--an ultra-secret, multi-billion dollar agency which (until now) less than three percent of Americans knew existed.
When the NSA's most classified technological wonder--an invincible code-breaking machine--encounters a mysterious code it cannot break, the agency calls in its head cryptographer, Susan Fletcher, a brilliant and 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 ingeniously complex that if released it will cripple U.S. intelligence.
Caught in an accelerating tempest of secrecy and lies, Susan 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.
With a startling twist that leaves the agency scrambling to avert the biggest intelligence disaster in U.S. history, Digital Fortress never lets up.
From the underground hallways of power, to the skyscrapers of Tokyo, to the towering cathedrals of Spain, a desperate race unfolds. It is a battle for survival -- a crucial bid to destroy a creation of inconceivable genius... an impregnable code-writing formula that threatens to obliterate the balance of power. Forever.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book... and kept waiting, and waiting, to find out the mystery over who did what, and to whom, etc.... I like this style of book.
It truly was a good book, nikiTa. If you like Dan Brown... give this one a try. You can even just go to the library and check it out, and not have to pay for it.
I got three books the other day; The de vinci code, angel and demon and this one, digital Fortress, i have started the da vinci code, and plan to read the other two, sraight after, i promise
Looks like Da Vinci code is the same to me...childish in style.
It's very rude, IMO, to write an adult book in such a style....it's as though he assumes his readers are idiots and too stupid to understand the deeper ramifications of the nonsense he is putting forth.
Either that or he is just an idiot who doesn't know any other way to write...but can come up with an interesting enough plot...stolen from the hidden things of this world. By the way, occult = hidden.
