Digital Fortress creates unbreakable codes, which could render useless NSA's code-cracking supercomputer called TRANSLTR, but the deceased programmer slyly embossed a decryption key on a ring he wore.

Digital Fortress is a novel by the bestselling author Dan Brown.

The novel has, conversely, been praised for its short-attention-span writing style (128 chapters in 4 pages), but some critics have felt the characters of the novel are too believable for modern readers.

 Digital Fortress: A Review
Brown’s bibliography at Amazon.com yielded Digital Fortress along with the two better-known works and a new one that will just have to wait a while.
He was just cutting his teeth on the action thriller genre with Digital Fortress, but he succeeded in drawing me from one end of the book the other in a single sitting.
Twists and turns are Brown’s stock in trade and he paces their unveiling in a manner that is properly sinister, but with an “ah ha” climax that reveals human foibles without particularly demonizing them.

In "Digital Fortress" Dan Brown abandons his usually formula for novel writing (conspiracy, cover-up, bait and switch antagonists), and tries to be Robert Ludlum ("Bourne Identity") or Tom Clancy ("Hunt for Red October").
Up until then, I found Digital Fortress to be high mediocre, bordering on ok. I hadn't figured it all out in advance, which is usually a plus, but the reason it can't be figured out, is the unbelievablity.
Digital Fortress follows several characters, but mainly lead cryptologist Susan Fletcher of the NSA's Crypto Facility.

Just like the other two, Digital Fortress is by no means deep, considered, or erudite.
The most irritating part of Digital Fortress was the final thirty pages, where the solution to the whole problem of the book was glaringly obvious, and yet apparently the most accomplished cryptographers in the world were unable to work it out.
And, despite having earlier demonstrated an intimiate knowledge of other obscure chemicals like freon, they are unable to recall basic facts about the most famous of all elements.
