Loading... Digital Fortress (1998)by Dan Brown
![]()
No current Talk conversations about this book. 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! Five out of five stars! Digital Fortress is fast paced, surprisingly full of information and yet never dull... I loved the twists and turns the book took... 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. I had already read Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons before I read Digital Fortress. I think the main reason I rate this book so low is that I had this one figured out pretty early on after recognizing some of the elements of Brown's storytelling tactics, and it was kind of a let down. The other thing is this book talks about a subject matter I have professional experience in. A lot of times, I'm able to brush off a lack of reality if the story is compelling enough. But I wasn't able to do that for this one. Others may have a much different experience.
A crescendo of murder, infernos, and explosions... Brown's skill... will rivet cyber-minded readers. Belongs to Publisher SeriesIs contained inContainsIs abridged inDistinctions
