About Digital Fortress: A Thriller
Product Description 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. 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. 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 complex that if released would cripple U.S. intelligence. Caught in an accelerating tempest of secrecy and lies, 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. It is a battle for survival―a crucial bid to destroy a creation of inconceivable genius that threatens to obliterate the balance of world power…for all time.This edition of the book is the deluxe, tall rack mass market paperback.

Marry me?” Looking up from their canopy bed, she knew he was the one. Forever. As she stared into his deep-green eyes, somewhere in the distance a deafening bell began to ring. It was pulling him away. She reached for him, but her arms clutched empty air. It was the sound of the phone that fully awoke Susan Fletcher from her dream. She gasped, sat up in bed, and fumbled for the receiver. “Hello?” “Susan, it’s David. Did I wake you?” She smiled, rolling over in bed. “I was just dreaming of you. Come over and play.” He laughed. “It’s still dark out.” “Mmm” She moaned sensuously. “Then definitely come over and play. We can sleep in before we head north.” David let out a frustrated sigh. “That’s why I’m calling. It’s about our trip. I’ve got to postpone.” Susan was suddenly wide awake. “What!” “I’m sorry. I’ve got to leave town. I’ll be back by tomorrow. We can head up first thing in the morning
