Digital fortress is the first Dan Brown book I have ever read and it has made me a huge fan of his. I have always been skeptical about his books for no reason at all. But this book is terrific. It has all the elements a book needs. The book seamlessly intertwines the romantic closeness of Susan and David in the background of a thrilling plot. TRANSLTR a multi billion dollar code breaking machine unexpectedly encounters an unbreakable code. What unfolds thereafter not only threatens NSA’s credibility but also the lives of Susan Fletcher, NSA’s best cryptographer and her fiance David Becker. The simple yet page turning way of writing made me a huge fan of Dan Brown.
