It is Okay

I enjoyed this book and it was not horrible, but not great either.

It starts off well enough and I liked the concept of how the story develops, namely trying to stop a computer virus from wrecking havoc and the intrigue surrounding it.

And for the most part the first part of the book was very strong and entertaining. None of the technical aspects or character actions were something that made me lose interest, but it did start slowing down somewhat towards the later third of the book or so, though there was enough elements to keep me interested in how it was going to work out. Some things were a little overboard, and without playing spoiler, the sequence in the main computer area and offices around it when people start getting a little more revealed about who is who, well it did fall apart a bit there for me.

It is far from perfect, and Brown's other books were better and more consistently gripping, but this one is still a good one to read on a airplane and I think it is and I think it is worth 3-1/2 to 4 stars because the pros outweigh the cons.

What she uncovers sends shock waves through the corridors of power. The NSA is being held hostage--not by guns or bombs -- but by a code so complex that if released would cripple U.S. intelligence. Caught in an accelerating tempest of secrecy and lies, Fletcher battles to save the agency she believes in. Betrayed on all sides, she finds herself fighting not only for her country but for her life, and in the end, for the life of the man she loves.
