Synopsis
A computer encryption device known as "Digital Fortress" threatens the security of the United States when it falls into the wrong hands.

In superstar author Dan Brown's gripping debut, a disgruntled former employee cripples the computer system of the National Security Agency with a seemingly unbreakable algorithmic code. As the computer locks up its circuits trying to decipher the encryption, mathematician Susan Fletcher, the NSA's resident code expert is called on to expedite the process. Unfortunately, Fletcher soon discovers that, by unlocking the algorithm, the computer will actually expose its precious database to invasion by hackers around the world. When the angry employee who unleashed the code turns up dead, it becomes apparent that larger forces are at work, and the security of the entire nation is at stake. When Dan Brown's later book, THE DA VINCI CODE, became one of the most lucrative books of all time, DIGITAL FORTRESS soon joined it on bestseller lists, and spawned some controversy when residents of Seville, Spain objected to Brown's unflattering descriptions of their city.

Industry Reviews
"Inordinately complicated but reasonably exciting; should find a home in the middle reaches of the intelligence-bureau/techno-whiz readership."

    The book was fantastic! Dan Brown (like all his books) keeps you on the edge of your seat in just about every chapter, from beginning to end. The book certainly has action and adventure, with and a hint of romance towards the end. Dan Brown also gives true facts about life, and places you may have never known before. The book made me think a lot about different perspectives of the book on who the good guy was versus who the bad guy was because Dan Brown uses a lot reverse psychology and false impressions of characters throughout the book.

    If you have read any of Dan Brown's other books and liked them, then you probably wont be dissapointed with this one.

    Only Criticism: They lead this certain guy (trying not to reveal anything) on a "goose chase" to find this one ring and that started to bug me just a little bit. Also, I thought this was not his best book he wrote. In fact, this was the least entertaining for me AFTER i read some of his other books (Deception Point, Angels and Demons), but it was definately the best book i read before reading some of his other books, and still nothing short of amazing.
    P.S. if you HATE computers and they are like quantum physics to you, you may not like this book.
