One of China's bestselling novels, an unusual literary thriller
that takes us deep into the world of code breaking
In his gripping debut novel, Mai Jia reveals the mysterious world
of Unit 701, a top-secret Chinese intelligence agency whose sole
purpose is counterespionage and code breaking.
Rong Jinzhen, an autistic math genius with a past shrouded in myth,
is forced to abandon his academic pursuits when he is recruited
into Unit 701. As China's greatest cryptographer, Rong discovers
that the mastermind behind the maddeningly difficult Purple Code is
his former teacher and best friend, who is now working for China's
enemy--but this is only the first of many betrayals.
Brilliantly combining the mystery and tension of a spy thriller
with the psychological nuance of an intimate character study and
the magical qualities of a Chinese fable, "Decoded" discovers in
cryptography the key to the human heart. Both a riveting mystery
and a metaphysical examination of the mind of an inspired genius,
it is the first novel to be published in English by one of China's
greatest and most popular contemporary writers.
