Digital Fortress transports the reader deep
within the most powerful intelligence organization on
earth - the National Security Agency (NSA), an ultra-
secret, multibillion-dollar agency, which (until now) less
than 3 percent of Americans knew existed. When the NSA's
invincible code-breaking machine encounters a mysterious
code it cannot break, the agency calls in 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. From the
underground hallways of power to the skyscrapers of Tokyo
to the towering cathedrals of Spain, a desperate race
unfolds. It is a battle for survival - a crucial bid to
destroy a creation of inconceivable genius...an
impregnable code-writing formula that threatens to
obliterate the post-cold war balance of power. Forever.
