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 also for her life, and in the end, for the life of the man she loves.

I enjoyed the mystery because it had turns constantly throughout the story. You have to keep reading the book to find out what will happen next as you get pulled into the story. Its very descriptive and you have to follow a couple different scenarios at a time. I was able to keep reading because its very interesting and the chapters are short. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes mysteries, thrillers, or if you liked other Dan Brown books. Also, if you like crime shows this book makes you keep guessing what will happen next. It is one of the best books that I have ever read and I enjoyed it. Digital Fortress is another hit for Dan Brown. It felt like I was part of the story, fighting for my life and solving the crime.

Digital Fortress was ingenious! Everytime I thought I knew something, I was evidently proven wrong. As humiliating that may seem, it was thrilling, exciting, wonderful, to discover I had been wrong. Ensei Tankado, a Japanese man, believed that everyone should have had the right to know that people were reading their emails. However, if people knew, the world would be full of more crimes. Susan Fletcher works for NSA, the National Security Agency, which has TRANSLTR, the code-breaker which allows the NSA to read people's emails. The only think TRANSLTR can't break are loops, and viruses. Ensei Tankado, a true genius, he creates an unbreakable code that even the TRANSLTR, which usually takes less than one minute-3 minutes to decode the code needed to view emails has taken over twenty-four hours on Tankado's unbreakable code. The thing is, what could possibly be the answer? I loved this book. I like it the best out of all Dan Brown's books. This was thrilling, and I loved it when I realized what was coming. This book is full of surprises.
