To try to convince people that Japanese SF novels tend to be shorter than Anglospheric SF novels because Japanese has fewer words than English? And a lot of Japanese consists of words borrowed from other languages.

That's Digital Fortress you're thinking of.

It's the first Dan Brown book I read, so I knew how execrably vile his writing was long before he was famous.

Its extraordinary badness, is the reason I haven't read a Dan Brown book since. (I guess that makes it a sort of vaccination.)
