If you like codes and codebreaking . . .
A huge disappointment. I don't know how the author or the publisher have the nerve to title the book this way. There wasn't a single instance of more than casual decoding of any code whatsoever. Furthermore it was not very suspenseful.
Fast-paced, good tech thriller
This one reminds me of the genius of Katherine Neville (The Eight [0345366239], A Calculated Risk [0345386825]), who features strong, leading lady protagonists facing mysterious circumstances and using their know-how to fight, unravel, and solve heavy-duty problems of the metaphysical and physical nature. Codebreaker's leading sleuth is Meg Parrish, who excels at breaking codes and becomes entangled in a surreal, high-intensity chase (from/to herself as well as some evil dudes). Great book.
