Language expert Tikaya Komitopis is gifted. So gifted that she was recruited to be her country's cryptanalyst. With the war finally coming to an end and her skills no longer needed, Tikaya returns home to live in peace. For a year. Then she's swiped from her home, kidnapped by Turgonians. Turgonians who are perfectly aware of her role in the war, a role that prevented their complete win. But now that they've found her, they need her help. And will get it whether she's willing or not.
Set in the same world as The Emperor's Edge, Encrypted holds much of the same charm. An intelligent woman, her intelligent male counterpart, an interesting plot, what's not to like? I had a great time imagining all of the interesting places and events but the best part was probably making all of the connections to The Emperor's Edge series. It gave me a lot of insight into some of the stranger parts of the series. I totally recommend reading both this book and the series, because neither one is as satisfactory alone as with the other, even though they can be read independently. This book takes place roughly 15 years before The Emperor's Edge but both include Sicarius as a character. In any case, I found Encrypted very enjoyable and expect Lindsay Buroker's other books to be just as good.
