    Name of the Book: Digital Fortress.

    Author of the Book: Dan Brown.

    About the Author:-


    Dan Brown is the author of numerous #1 bestselling novels, including The Da Vinci
    Code, which has become one of the bestselling novels of all time as well as the
    subject of intellectual debate among readers and scholars. Brown’s novels are
    published in 56 languages around the world with over 200 million copies in print.
    In 2005, Brown was named one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World by
    TIME Magazine, whose editors credited him with “keeping the publishing industry
    afloat; renewed interest in Leonardo da Vinci and early Christian history; spiking
    tourism to Paris and Rome; a growing membership in secret societies; the ire of
    Cardinals in Rome; eight books denying the claims of the novel and seven guides
    to read along with it; a flood of historical thrillers; and a major motion picture
    franchise.”
    The son of a mathematics teacher and a church organist, Brown was raised on a
    prep school campus where he developed a fascination with the paradoxical
    interplay between science and religion. These themes eventually formed the
    backdrop for his books. He is a graduate of Amherst College and Phillips Exeter
    Academy, where he later returned to teach English before focusing his attention
    full time to writing. He lives in New England with his wife.
    Brown’s latest novel, Origin, explores two of the fundamental questions of
    humankind: Where do we come from? Where are we going?
    Book Review:-
    The ultra-secret NSA (National Security Agency) is responsible for monitoring and
    protecting the U.S. communications. Its secret weapon is the multi-billion dollar
    supercomputer called TRANSLTR which can instantly decode any encrypted
    message in cyberspace, allowing the NSA to stop numerous terrorist threats,
    some of them nuclear. TRANSLTR can decode almost instantly any message sent
    and intercepted anywhere in the world over the Internet -- until now. When
    TRANSLTR meets a code it cannot break, the agency calls in its top cryptographer
    Susan Fletcher, a beautiful and brilliant mathematical genius, and her fiancé,
    David Becker, a professor and foreign language specialist who has assisted the
    NSA before. While Becker is dispatched to Spain to retrieve the password to the
    new code which disappeared after Tankado's murder, Susan starts to dig into the
    origins of the mysterious code known as Digital Fortress, finding layers upon
    layers of shocking secrets, lies and betrayals. Programmed by computer genius
    Ensei Tankado, Digital Fortress could literally topple the U.S. government and
    open the world to terrorist annihilation. Tankado is blackmailing the U.S.
    Government from his grave and the race is on to find Tankado and break the code
    before the U.S. government's entire security system is irretrievably breached
    giving terrorists access to everything including nuclear missile launch codes.
    Digital Fortress is an exciting and thought-provoking debut from author Dan
    Brown. With nonstop action, intrigue and a fascinating plot Digital Fortress is an
    example of the techno-thriller at its very best. But what makes Digital Fortress
    stand out from the crowd are its other elements: a real love story and an
    examination of the struggles between right and wrong and protection of the
    public versus the preservation of that same public's privacy. The issues raised in
    Digital Fortress concerning privacy of communications and the very real threat of
    terrorism will have readers thinking about Digital Fortress long after they have put
    the book down. Brown does an excellent job at presenting technological wizardry
    and cutting edge intelligence information in such a way so as to please techno
    lovers and yet make the complex subject of encryption interesting and easy to
    understand. A must read for lovers of intrigue, thrillers and for anyone who loves
    an exciting story with a complex, layered plot and intriguing characters.
