Digital Fortress - Dan Brown




Hi Everyone,




Another must read from Dan Brown. This book is called Digital Fortress and it is about the U.S National Security Agency.




The U.S. National Security Agency is in charge of cracking codes that come through on the internet, and it is a very important job because this is the way that most terrorist plots and other schemes are discovered.




When the National Security Agency's invincible code-breaking machine encounters a mysterious code that it cannot break, the agency calls in its head cryptographer, Susan Fletcher, a brilliant, beautiful mathematician. What she uncovers sends shock waves through the corridors of power. The National Security Agency is being held hostage - not by guns or bombs, but by a code so intelligent 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....




I give Digital Fortress a 10/10. Dan Brown is one of the smartest writers writing today.




Thanks
