Product Description:
The next twenty-four hours will be crucial to America's survival. A determined band of terrorists holds the key to bringing down the government by plunging the country into darkness, fear, and chaos -- a nightmare born not in a distant enemy land . . . but rather in the heart of America itself.
After a mission gone bad, Counter Terrorist Unit operative Jack Bauer is relegated to infiltrating a dangerous homegrown militia group -- and stumbles upon information about an activated sleeper cell of Middle Eastern terrorists on American soil. But the roots of the insidious threat may go deeper than he suspects, firmly planted in the lies and treacheries of powerful government agencies. And without the trust and support of his CTU superiors, Jack may have to rely on the very fanatics he's sworn to destroy . . . or face an earth-shattering catastrophe at the end of the day.

As a fan of the TV show I looked forward to reading novels based on '24'. The first book I read (Operation Hell Gate) was a decent novel and it supplemented the down time between seasons. With respect to this book, however, I would agree with other comments that have been made - generic thriller, plot holes, confusing timing, poor character development, inconsistencies, and some editing errors.
I also have a personal gripe with this book (and others that are based on popular TV shows). ... Read More

My gripe with this book is a couple of the sexist sentences ... On page 179, Nina says to Jack Bauer "You are going to want to make out with me when I show you this". A few such bits to me were so exasperating & just plain stupid that they distracted me from the otherwise good plot. I'm no militant femnist, but come on!
And I was also suprised to see former Detroit Piston's Bad Boy Bill Laimbeer's name misspelled. That's so easy to check.

The writer continues to bring the characters to life as in the series. Jack Bauer, CTU and the supporting cast are well represented.

I agree that this book wasn't very well written. As a thriller, it wasn't that bad of a book, but as an 'episode' of 24, it wasn't good at all. The characters may have been named Jack Bauer, Nina Meyers, Tony Almeida, etc., but they weren't at all the same as the TV characters. They might have been named Joe Smith and Mary Jones for all the resemblance they had to their TV counterparts, which is none. Also, some of the mistakes made in this book were just plain stupid (check the president's itinerary, ... Read More

From the reviews I've read on here, it seems like this is a "love it or hate it" novel, with strong arguments from both sides. What I found is that it's an average thriller, one not nearly up to the standards of the amazing show from which it's taken.
The plot has been covered already, so I'll skip it. What I will say is that Jack Bauer comes across much better as a TV character, at least when compared to this novel. His actions here are similar to what he does on TV each week, but there just ... Read More
