Product Description

Review
"In this fast-paced, plausible tale, Brown blurs the line between good and evil enough to delight patriots and paranoids alike." -"Publishers Weekly"
""Digital Fortress" is the best and most realistic techno-thriller to reach the market in years... A chilling thrill a minute." -"The Midwest Book Review"


Product Description
A former National Security Agency programmer threatens to release a mathematical formula that will allow organized crime and terrorism to skyrocket, unless the code-breaking computer that is used to keep them in check but that violates civil rights is not exposed to the public.

1.0 out of 5 stars PUT THIS BOOK DOWN !!!, 25 Jan 2006
By A Customer
This review is from: Digital Fortress (Paperback)
Reading the Da Vinci code by Dan brown was a breath of fresh air and made me pick up this book to see if Dan Brown could recreate his exploits into another book. How wrong I was. The Digital Fortress has a storyline way too farfetched and the characters are as linear as a 2d platform game. I was very dissapointed with actually buying this book as I got caught in the Dan Brown hype and dismissed all negative comments of this book being blinded by the brilliance of the Da Vinci Code.

Dont buy this book....It is a complete waste of time and you will be more enthralled watching the contestants of big brother sleeping than reading this.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not Good, 25 Jul 2005
By Mr. Philip Relph "purchzguru" (Wolverhampton, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Digital Fortress (Paperback)
I spent my summer holidays reading five DB books that my wife had purchased. After my second book it was pretty apparent that DB uses a pretty plot/character approach to every novel. The only good one being the Da Vinci code that was done well. Digital Fortress came after I had read Neil Stephensons Cryptonomicon an excellent book with a crypto plot . DF is very poor, most of the techie stuff is garbage and fantasy. Skip it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Hard to believe its the same author!, 9 Aug 2004
This review is from: Digital Fortress (Paperback)
Having read 'The Da Vinci Code' and 'Deception Point', both of which I thoroughly enjoyed, It is difficult to believe this is Dan Brown and not a 'Bay Watch' script writer trying to make a few quid on the side.

Unlike the rest of his books, the plot here is paper thin (close to none existent) and the pace is incredibly slow (up until the last couple of chapters). What really kills it is the obviously poor research into IT, Computers, Viruses and Encryption - I cringed the whole way through the book.

If you like Dan Brown because you've read his other books, do yourself a favour and avoid reading this one as it will only spoil your opinion of the author.
