▲''[[Digital Fortress]]'' is the first novel by [[Dan Brown]].
Susan Fletcher, star of the NSA's cryptography division, is called in by NSA Deputy Director Trevor Strathmore after TRANSLTR, the NSA's code-breaking computer, encounters a code that it can't break. This code, called [[Title Drop|Digital Fortress]], was created by Ensei Tankado, a disgruntled NSA operative. When Tankado is found dead in Seville, Spain, Strathmore dispatches David Becker, Fletcher's fiancée, to investigate in the hope of finding a clue to breaking the code, while Fletcher and Strathmore investigate Tankado's mysterious partner "North Dakota", who unknown to them is in talks with a Japanese corporation to release the Digital Fortress code publicly. But as in any [[Dan Brown]] novel, all is not as it seems...
As with any [[Dan Brown]] book,
Compare ''[[The Da Vinci Code]]'', ''[[Angels & Demons]]'', ''[[Deception Point]]'' and ''[[The Lost Symbol]]''. Contrast with ''[[Cryptonomicon]]''.
