Product Description
Operating out of a nearly empty space in Los Angeles, the newly created CTU faces its first major crisis. A large amount of plastique explosive has vanished and could be anywhere—with criminals, crazies, outlaw bikers . . . or in the bloodstained hands of Islamic radicals. As powerful representatives of the world's major religions gather for a conference on faith, peace, and coexistence, agents of the newborn elite counterterrorism unit must chase elusive shadows through the underbelly of L.A. A nightmare of assassination and terror is looming, tied to the darkest secrets of the church—an explosive threat that must be exposed and defused within twenty-four hours, or violent repercussions will be felt around the world. And only one man possesses the necessary passion, ruthless skill, and willingness to operate outside his jurisdiction and beyond the limits of the law: a dangerous rogue CIA operative . . . named Jack Bauer.

Great read June 4, 2008 I didn't know there were 24 books, until I stumbled upon them by accident. I enjoy the show so much and thought they might be pretty good. Well, I wasn't disappointed. I've purchased every one, and looking forward to more. Can't wait for the 24 movie, and the show to return in 2009. If you love the show and like to read, you can't go wrong.
Jack is back! May 25, 2008 I loved this book, and after the horrific Storm Force I was a little worried about the series. But here, Jack is back in his full glory, in a wonderfully contorted plot that involves interdenominational terrorists. With action that picks up and doesn't let us down.
I think the only negative for me is that Jack never really gets to meet the man whom the terrorists are after here, and that could have been a real revelation. But there was plenty to enjoy so that I practically read this in one sitting.
Middle of the road May 13, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Put all the 24 novels in chronological order and this is the 1st. Jack is a CIA agent whose case mixes with those of the LAPD, an investigating agent from the NTSB, and the newly created CTU which has just made its very first arrest two days prior to this day. We see CTU in infancy and very disordered. Jack, hesitant to take a job with CTU, begins assisting with a case that eventually will lead to an assassiniation attempt on Pope John Paul II at a peace conference. He partners with Nina for the first time and has a very brief introduction to Tony. He also meets and butts heads with Chappelle which is just a sign of things to come. Overall, the book is an OK read. I enjoyed reading the beginnings and Hendersons attempts to recruit Jack into CTU. I also liked Jack's first hesitation to use a torture technique yet he allows himself to do so in order to get information needed. There were things I did not care for but this is entirely my opinion and certainly different for other readers. I am not big on the humorous foreshadowing that took place. Things like Jack telling Teri that if he worked for a guy like Chappelle he would "end up shooting him in the head". Nina's extremely aggressive come-on to Jack was also a bit out of character. I would expect a slight attraction from each to hint at an affair but not something so obvious and desperate. Kim also plays a very big role as the indirect cause for CTU's successful first mission with Jack. Not really something I cared for. Even Jack and other CTU members admit their failure if it weren't for the interference of an outside character. Like other 24 novels, the last climactic hours are condensed into a small number of pages. The last 6 hours are spread over 70 pages (the last 3 hours are written in 28 pages) and seemed very rushed. There are lots of players and decoys including Hell's Angels Bikers and an over-the-hill actor all of which seem too much to occur on the same day. Action sequences are good and but there really was no "what is Jack going to do now" moments. Still, any 24 fan will enjoy a 24 read while we wait until January. There are better 24 novels out there but there are worse ones as well.
Read How Jack Bauer Was Recruited To CTU May 7, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
As a die-hard "24" fan, I have really enjoyed all the "24" Declassified novels (except for "Storm Force"). This one was interesting because through the main storyline featuring a terrorist threat surrounding a historical "peace" conference gathering of the major religions of the world, we learn about the early days of CTU and how Jack Bauer is recruited to work at CTU. We also find out that Jack and Ryan Chapelle didn't get along from the very beginning. This made for some interesting dialog/conflict between these two characters. It was also fun to read about when Jack & Nina first met & worked together. All and all another interesting and fun read.
There's only one problem though; I read through these novels so fast I wish two of them were released at one time. I hope more are coming. They are great for us "24" fans waiting for Season 7 of the series.
