Digital Fortress
Susan Fletcher, a brilliant, beautiful mathematician who works in “crypto,” a top-secret department of the National Security Agency (NSA), receives two urgent phone calls just minutes apart. The first call is from her fiancé David, a civilian professor, who mysteriously cancels their romantic weekend. The second is an urgent call from her boss. It seems the TRANSLTR, a top-secret super-computer that can read communications among suspected terrorists, has for the first time received a code it simply can’t crack. Then Susan discovers two more startling pieces of news: the sender of this code, former NSA programmer, Ensei Tankado, has just been discovered dead in Spain. And David has been sent there to recover a mysterious ring on Tankado’s finger!
As Susan begins to investigate, she uncovers information that will send shock waves through the corridors of power. The NSA is being held hostage—not by guns or bombs—but by a computer code so complex that if released would cripple the United States! With Tankado’s death, all hope seems lost, but is he the only one who can crack the code? Betrayals begin to mount on all sides and Susan finds herself fighting not only for her country, but also for her life and the life of the man she loves…

A cute boy's romance with sorta probable techno thrills. I skipped through a lot of it, too formulaic.

This was very much up to the Dan Brown style and excellent story as Davinci Code. I like how one of his main character was both good and evil

Digital Fortress and Deception Point may not be on the same lines as DaVinci Code and Angel & Demons but they both are worth the time spent. If you like action you will be kept in suspense from the first pages.

I was not impressed
August 11, 2009
Although I am a huge fan of The DaVinci Code and Angels and Demons, this one left me less than enthused. Boring and predictable, the characters were highly unoriginal and quite two-dimensional. I also feel that the premise was completely overblown, and the resolution to the story was underdelivered. I will await another work to see if it is as good as the other two titles mentioned, but this one was a total waste of money.
