A remarkable epic adventure of soldiers, secrets, gold, spies, codemakers and codebreakers, conspiracies, power, pirates, prisoners, lovers and great escapes-from one of the boldest imaginations in contemporary fiction.*

*Back of the book Cryptonomicon

Three novels in one. Featuring healthy protions of World War II adventure, cryptography and high-tech finance, with treasure hunting thrown in for good measure...But that's only half of it."*
