Whose gonna watch the watcher?When the NSA’s most classified technological wonder – an invincible code-breaking machine – encounters a mysterious code it cannot break, the agency calls in its head cryptographer, Susan Fletcher, a brilliant and beautiful mathematician. What she uncovers sends shock waves through the corridors of power.
The NSA is begin held hostage… not by guns or bombs, but by a code so ingeniously complex that if released it will cripple US 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 her life, and in the end, for the life of the man she loves.
With a starting twist that leaves the agency scrambling to avert the biggest intelligence disaster in US history, Digital Fortress never lets up.
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 balance of power. Forever.
Oh, I like this book. I am an Information Technology alumni so I understand the story. I can imagine how Susan and NSA tried to open a bunch of unclear words because I got encryption lesson in college. I feel the story walked smoothly in the beginning, faster in the middle and then in the fastest pace in the end when there weren’t so much time to avoid hackers from the whole world. This is a very good suspense novel.
