If you want to read a suspenseful, somewhat romantic story, then I recommend this book. The story does have a somewhat X-Files flavor as told by a previous reviewer, and the romance between Meg and Ross is one that develops steady throughout the book. The only reason I gave this four stars is that I saw grammatical and improper word usage in the story. Thankfully, it was erratic but it sure slowed me down when reading.

In the beginning I thought this was going to be a straight-forward suspense novel about computer codes, encryption, etc. Then suddenly the plot veered to the left and it was a date with the X Files--very clever! Not only that, but the fast-paced flight of the two main characters throughout the story kept taking unexpected turns. I really appreciate reading an unpredictable book.

I really liked the interesting idea of a female cryptographer and felt the details of how she broke codes was definitely believable; very computer-savy writing. Combining realistic details with the eerie and unexpected plot turns this novel took, it was hard for me to put it down. The biggest plus, though, were the two main characters. By the end of the book they were real to me. Loved it! Not quite Koontz, but almost there.
