Digital Fortress by Dan Brown

“Everything is possible. The impossible just takes longer.” 
― Dan Brown, Digital Fortress

Young and charming Susan Fletcher is a head cryptologist in National Security Agency (NSA). One Saturday morning she gets a sudden call from Commander Strathmore, her boss, saying there’s emergency in Crypto. The  United States  National Security Agency's code-breaking supercomputer (TRANSLTR) encounters a new and complex code—Digital Fortress—that it cannot break. The code is created by Ensei Tankado -  a former NSA  employee who became released from NSA. Strathmore downloaded the file through Internet, like many others. Everyone who had the encrypted copy couldn’t open it unless they had a pass-code that Tankado planned to sell on an auction. But something came in the way, Tankado was killed…

I’m not fan of thrillers, but Digital Fortress is awesome! It is definitely one of those books you grab and sit in an armchair all weekend in order to finish it. I’m sure it won’t disappoint thriller lovers as like 400 pages are filled with events of barely a day. The events change each other very fast, the story plot is complicated and unpredictable - you have to be an experienced reader to guess how it’ll end. Also, I like the way of 4 parallel, separate, twisted story lines ending in a one (like Lord of the Rings: Two Towers, but better). The style of writing is plain, but I liked it. This book has everything you can ask from one: it has action, love story and it makes you think! However, I was a little bit disappointed in an ending, so, my rating is 9/10. I've never read anything like Digital Fortress before.
