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 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.

Definitivamente éste no es el mejor trabajo de Dan Brown. Me gustaron más sus libros posteriores.

Gets a lot of grief for factual errors, but putting those aside I found it very entertaining. Kept me reading and wanting to find out what happened next. Certainly not a masterpiece which it doesn't try to be, but an easy enjoyable thriller.

Quick fun read, but not Dan Brown's best stuff.
