'Digital Fortress' by Dan Brown

On Tuesday I finished another great piece of work by Dan Brown.
It's the third book I've read from Dan Brown.
After reading 'Deception Point' - with it's political plots - and 'Angels and Demons' - with it's ancient myths, I have to say that 'Digital Fortress' would be in my ranking in the middle of these three. There is more action then in 'Angels and Demons' but I like the myth a bit more then technoligy thillers.
'Digital Fortress' is full of suspense and unexpected twists.
I really enjoyed reading it!

The only book by Dan Brown left to be read is the legendary 'The Da Vinci Code'. Unless until he publishes 'The Solomon Key'. ;-)

The plot:

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.
