Let me start by saying that I really enjoyed Da Vinci code and its prequel, so I was optimistic about this read.

The NSA is being held hostage…not by guns or bombs but by a code so complex that if released would cripple U.S. What she uncovers sends shock waves through the corridors of power. When the National Security Agency’s invincible code-breaking machine encounters a mysterious code it cannot break, the agency calls its head cryptographer, Susan Fletcher, a brilliant, beautiful mathematician. However, the slight inaccuracies don’t take away from the plot.Before the multi-million, runaway bestseller The Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown set his razor-sharp research and storytelling skills on the most powerful intelligence organization on earth-the National Security Agency (NSA)-in this thrilling novel, Digital Fortress. If you are interested in those fields, this book is not your best source. Some of the information about cryptology and the NSA isn't entirely accurate. The story is told from various perspectives which can be difficult to follow, especially if you read the book in more than one sitting. The surprise about who created TRANSLATR is probably my favorite part. Abundant plot twists are my favorite parts. Suspenseful cliffhangers throughout the novel kept me glued to every chapter.

This is one of the best science fiction books I have read.
