A propos de cet article

First edition, February 1998, stated; first printing, full number line (1-10). Brown's first thriller didn't become an instant megaseller like The Da Vinci Code, The Lost Symbol, and Inferno; first printings are uncommon, and this one is not remaindered. Bound in black paper-covered boards with a silver-lettered spine. Book is unmarked; slight spine slant; corners sharp, spine ends bumped. The dust jacket is not price-clipped (original price $24.95); light edgewear at spine ends and corners. Jacket design by Steve Snider; blurbs from John Nance, Larry Lasker, David Pogue, and MacDonnell Ulsch on back panel. Brodart protected. N° de réf. du vendeur 004692

Synopsis :

Book by Dan Brown

Quatrième de couverture:

National Security Agency, Fort Meade, Maryland: when the most powerful intelligence organization on earth's invincible code-breaking machine encounters a mysterious code it cannot break, it calls for its head cryptographer, Susan Fletcher, a brilliant and beautiful mathematician. 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 ingeniously complex that if released it would cripple US intelligence.

Seville, Spain: the creator of the code, Ensei Tankado, is found dead. And with him has died the secret to an impregnable code-writing formula that threatens to obliterate the post-cold war balance of power. Forever.

From the underground hallways of power to the skyscrapers of Tokyo to the towering cathedrals of Spain, a desperate race unfolds. Caught in an accelerating tempest of secrecy and lies, betrayed on all sides, Susan Fletcher finds herself fighting not only for her country but for her life, and in the end, for the life of the man she loves.
