Prior Knowledge

None really, I had read the DaVinci Code in the past and bought this book sometime there after since I was so impressed. Seeing as how it was something like 4 years since I read DaVinci Code and I found the book laying on my book shelf, I actually had no idea what it was about.

Story Line

The NSA has the world's most powerful computer, TRANSLTR, and best minds policing the cyber world attempting to save us common folk from the security horrors that we can not even begin to imagine. However, the crypto world has been turned upside down by an unbreakable algorithm that threatens to turn security on its ear and essentially make the minds and multi-billion dollar computer and facility worthless. You go along with the characters as they attempt to keep such a tragedy from occurring… or would it be a tragedy??? I guess that depends on where your morals lie.

What I Thought

This is one of the best books I have ever read. It was every bit as good as the Davinci Code. Non stop action with the typical Dan Brown plot that has you twisting and turning not only trying to decipher the codes but trying to decipher what is really going on and who is on whos side. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone
