SUMMARY:
Susan Fletcher works in a rather interesting agency- the NSA. It is an American secret intelligence agency working to protect the U.S government by intercepting and decoding messages from terrorists, criminals and dangerous foreign powers. It is home to the best cryptographic minds in the world, including Susan Fletcher.
On a Saturday afternoon she receive a call from her commander telling her their is an emergency situation in the NSA. She is yet to find out how worse her day is going to be. The TRANSLT (the NSA’s secret machine used to unscramble messages) has hit something hard- an unbreakable code! This would mean the end for this secret organisation… and much worse!
COMMENT: This is a thriller full of suspense, drama and action. It is one of those books that you cannot stop reading. It also questions the use of today’s technologies, and all the problems they can cause. However, the most amazing part of this book is that you learn a lot, unconsciously! Without mentioning the fact that Digital Fortress is easy to read, and well written!
