I just finished reading Digital Fortress. Took me about three days. I would probably have finished reading it before if it hadn't been for school though. It was hard to put the book away and do something else, but I'm not going to write a whole book report now. There's plenty of reviews on the net already. Now I'm just going to explain the code which is found at the end of the book (there's plenty of explanations of this too, though, I believe):
128-10-93-85-10-128-98-112-6-6-25-126-39-1-68-78 (English Version)
103-88-60-105-42-113-18-70-62-116-55-110-41-88-59-85 (Norwegian Version)
Read on if you want the answer right on the table. If you want to solve it on your own, don't read on (it's more fun when you solve it on your own).
The code isn't that hard really. I'll admit that I didn't have the patience to solve it on my own so I just looked it up on the net. Anyway:
Each number corresponds to a chapter. What you need to do first is to take the first letter from each chapter.
Do this and you will get this:
W E C G E W H Y A A I O R T N U (English)
V L T E I A I D V L D E I L S G (Norwegian)
If you remember the Caesars Box (square), you will need to make a "square" with the letters. There are 16 letters so there are 4 rows and 4 columns with letters:
English:
W E C G
E W H Y
A A I O
R T N U
Norwegian:
V L T E
I A I D
V L D E
I L S G
To get the code in plaintext just read from above and downwards:
English: "WE ARE WATCHING YOU"
Norwegian: "VI VIL ALLTID SE DEG"
Dan Brown is a genius! At the moment, he is working on a new book with the Harvard professor, Robert Langdon, as protagonist: Widow's Son: The Solomon Key
