I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I have not yet gotten around to reading The Da Vinci Code, also from Dan Brown- I do own it, I just haven't gotten around to reading it yet. Digital Fortress however piqued my interest because it related directly to computer and network security. Dan Brown certainly does his homework as it relates to computer security technology and talks intelligently about encryption algorithms.The crux of this story revolves around a new encryption algorithm which, even with a relatively small key, is completely unbreakable. I found the book fast-paced and engaging. I almost literally didn't put it down until I was done.

I don't take many forays into the world of fiction, but if you like cyber-thrillers I highly recommend you pick this book up and read it.
