نقد و بررسی
The National Security Agency's secret code-breaking machine is stumped by Digital Fortress, a code created by a former employee that could undermine the agency's efforts to keep tabs on the Information Highway. The code sparks two chains of events--a battle with a traitor within NSA headquarters that envelops Susan Fletcher, its head cryptographer, and a race for the ring containing the key code, which draws in David Becker, Susan's fiancé. Moved along by both the abridgment and Bruce Sabath's breathless reading, this techno-thriller races at a lightning pace. Sabath's offbeat character voices, such as that of an NSA staffer nicknamed Jabba the Hut, are fun. The many twists will keep people guessing to the end. J.A.S. (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine

Digital Fortress is the name of a code that threatens to destroy the world's most advanced computer, located inside the supersecret National Security Agency. Susan Fletcher, a brilliant mathematician, is called in to find out how someone managed to inject a virus into the computer. At the same time, her lover is sent to Spain to retrieve a ring that contains the solution to the virus problem. The story shifts from Spain to Washington, and the suspense is maintained even in some of the technical sections. Paul Michael adroitly leads the listener on a roller coaster ride of murder, deception, and treason. Though people will check this out based on the success of Brown's "The DaVinci Code", it stands on its own as a contemporary technothriller of the highest order. Recommended for all libraries. -Joseph L. Carlson, Allan Hancock Coll., Lompoc, CA
