Again I got lucky. The number on the cover didn't match any BCID#s. I had deleted the release notes but found a copy of the release alert and figured out the correct number...it was just missing a 7. I LOVED the Da Vinci code so am so excited to read this one. Thank you again, Layla...you made my DAY...twice!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.

This was a really quick, interesting read. It definately was not as enthralling or thought provoking as the Da Vinci Code, but a great mystery nonetheless. Thanks Layla1! I am thinking I will mail this to someone with a request for it on their wish list...just waiting to hear back.

After its long harrowing journey of twenty-five miles, this one has arrived in Apple Valley.
I really liked this book. I was better than Angels & Demons, but not as good as The DaVinci Code. Then again I am an engineer so this type of techie thing is right up my alley. It was a bit predictable towards the end but rivetting nonetheless. Hubs kept interrupting me while I was reading the last fifty pages until I finally had to put the smack down and tell him to "LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!" Heh! I will release it soon. Thanks for sharing.
