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 and beautiful mathematician. What she uncovers sends shock waves through the corridors of power. The NSA is being held hostage... not by guns or bombs, but by a code so ingeniously complex that if released it would cripple U.S. intelligence.
Caught in an accelerating tempest of secrecy and lies, Susan Fletcher battles to save the agency she believes in. Betrayed on all sides, she finds herself fighting not only for her country but for her life, and in the end, for the life of the man she loves.

Gets a lot of grief for factual errors, but putting those aside I found it very entertaining. Kept me reading and wanting to find out what happened next. Certainly not a masterpiece which it doesn't try to be, but an easy enjoyable thriller.
Beautiful NSA cryptographer and her boyfriend save the NSA's classified data from a fate worse than deletion. Mostly, I wanted to smack the main characters upside the head and get to the end of the book.
The author, Dan Brown, also wrote The Da Vinci Code, which I found entertaining for the historical references. Mr. Brown's rollercoaster ride narrative style seems to be his trademark, but the ride is a little rough in Digital Fortress, his first thriller.
The mass-market paperback edition was published by St. Martin's Paperbacks.
2.5
Definitivamente éste no es el mejor trabajo de Dan Brown. Me gustaron más sus libros posteriores.
