The One Hundred language puzzles in this book are rendered in an assortment of runic alphabets -- some in the traditional Norse runes and many in beautiful new runic characters. Some puzzles are simple, others very difficult, and their encrypted messages swing from silly to curious to profound. But Cryptorunes is much more than a book of puzzles. You'll also find engaging notes on runic alphabets and the ancient cultures from which they arose, a brief history of cryptography, guidelines for creating and solving many kinds of codes, and a wildly imaginative (but disturbingly plausible) story about the first extraterrestrial message to reach Earth.
