Before the multi-million, runaway bestseller The Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown set his razor-sharp research and storytelling skills on the most powerful intelligence organization on earth??the National Security Agency (NSA)??in this thrilling novel, Digital Fortress.

I was going to be stingy with the stars but since the book kept me ripping through the pages at what's a fast pace even for me, I'm giving it a five. Suspenseful and mostly well written all the way through. ( )
Dan Brown has yet again made a book that had me hooked onto his every word. This man needs to make more books and fast!
In this novel, Susan is a cryptographer who learns about a brand new, unbreakable code called Digital Fortress. She must try to save the agency back in America while her lover is in Europe trying to save the NSA by finding the "safe key" to stop the code as well.
This novel has twists and turns I didn't see coming, much like every other Dan Brown book I have read. There isn't anything more I could ask of Dan Brown in this book, since it was perfection to me. The chapters weren't super long, I learned many new facts and the novel kept me hooked onto every word he wrote.
Anyone who likes a good mystery novel that is fast paced and addicting should pick up a Dan Brown book. It's so hard to put his novels down!
Technisch wat ingewikkeld verhaal. Cryptologie is niet echt mijn ding, maar wel van Susan Fletcher. Zij is hoofd van de cryptologie afdeling van de NSA (National Security Agency). Als er een virusaanval komt op de supercomputer systemen van de NSA, moet alles op alles worden gezet om op tijd de code te breken, maar daarvoor moeten een aantal gecodeerde sleutels worden gevonden. Susan's verloofde, David Becker, wordt naar Spanje gestuurd door Susan's baas, Trevor Strathmore, om een van de sleutels op te halen. Susan wordt naar het hoofdkantoor geroepen om de code te breken. Maar dat is nog niet zo makkelijk. David loopt in Spanje ondertussen ook tegen de nodige problemen op. Ik vond de stukken met David makkelijker te lezen dan die met Susan. ( )
Having read this some years ago, my memory isn't summoning all the details, though what I recall was outstanding. Brown is a master of unique stories and this one lives up to his abilities and then some. Unlike the "Angel" books, this goes an entirely different direction engaging the reader through great characters, intrigue and the unexpected. ( )
