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 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 would 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.
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 post-cold war balance of power. Forever.

I loved how fast-paced and suspenseful it was from beginning to end. The mix of cryptography, government secrets, technology, and unexpected twists kept me completely hooked. Every time I thought I had figured things out, the story surprised me again. It's one of those books that's hard to put down once you start, and I found myself constantly wanting to know what happened next. Definitely one of my favorite thrillers.

First of all, I wouldn’t have been able to pull off a novel as technical as this. Kudos to Dan Brown for being able to do that and have multiple people involved in the storyline. Unfortunately, I didn’t think Digital Fortress had near the impact that his other novels had.
