Book Description
The eyes of the world are watching

A powerful world leader is expected to join the Hollywood elite at a star-studded ceremony to be broadcast around the globe. But security has been severely compromised -- and a plot is already in motion to turn the Los Angeles Chamberlain Auditorium into a gruesome slaughterhouse.

When an on-line "Trojan Horse" detected by the CTU cyber unit sends up red flags, rogue operative Jack Bauer is called into action. He has less than twenty-four hours to prevent an unthinkable act of death and destruction from occurring -- a televised massacre intended to topple a foreign government and bring terror into millions of American households.

The countdown is on.

1.Ride the TROJAN HORSE, February 28, 2006
                        By M. E. Zimmerman "ncc1205"

Franchise books -- novels based on popular television and/or movie series -- are a hard sell. In one respect, readers want a return to the characters that make these franchises work, but, in another respect, readers want to be taken to a realm of imagination perhaps just beyond the reach of the franchise, being delivered a product that fits within the established continuity of the program BUT pushes the limits to show them something further.

The world of 24 has an even greater challenge, given that the premise of the show -- the real time ticking clock -- gets a touch lost in translation. The adrenaline drive fueling Jack Bauer and his efforts on behalf of the United States' Counter Terrorist Unit kicks back a bit as novels tend to provide a greater backstory and filler details than one would get in a 24 episode season. This isn't to say that the book format is inferior to the show; it only assures one that the books will have to always work a bit harder at sustaining the level of tension fans have come to expect from Jack.

That said, TROJAN HORSE is a pretty solid yarn involving a terrorist plot that could cripple the World Wide Web, certainly taking the CTU adventures well beyond the boundaries of Los Angeles (where Bauer and his companions are located). In a story that's set outside the scope of the television events (the setting is, in fact, before Season 1 of the hit Fox series), author Marc Cerasini has taken some creative license at exploring not only a much different Jack, but he also fleshes out Teri Bauer (Jack's wife), Tony Almeida, Nina Myers, and even Ryan Chapelle. While some of the events that take place do come off a bit out of character for what we've come to expect on the television show, Cerasini has the perfect explanation: these folks hadn't quite yet become who they were about to be when Season 1 began. So -- though I had some reservations about some behaviors, especially Tony's -- it was easy to dismiss.

TROJAN HORSE is a good read. It doesn't stray too far from the popular formula of the show, but it does explore the ramifications of other forms of terror in the modern world. And, on most accounts, it delivers some more great Jack Bauer moments for fans to enjoy ... while they're watching their own clocks waiting for the next episode on television to premiere.

2.24... at it's finest, February 19, 2006
                          By Jeffrey Clinard "Jeffrey" (Las Vegas, NV USA)
Of the three 24: Declassified novels, this one is by far the best. Jack gets involved, then uninvolved, then involed once again. Tony has his own undercover assignment, and Nina, Jamey, and Milo all play key roles. Even Edgar Stiles, introduced in season 4 has a cameo appearance.

There are many threads, but they all come together. A dead Hollywood producer. An assualt on a drug lab supposedly producing a new meth called Karma. A modelling agency. A Hollywood awards ceremoney Teri Bauer gets an invitation to attend. A techno-terrorist, a papparazii photographer who discovers something strange about a pregnant actress, and a cult loyal only to a man named Hasan.

This is 24... always action packed, and a lot of fun, even if there are plot flaws or big coicindences.

3.Jack Bauer fan - really enjoyed it!, March 8, 2006
                              By B. A. Furman

This was the third of the "24 Declassified" books that I have purchased and read, and it was the best. Don't know how an individual who is not a fan of 24 would feel, but I couldn't put it down. Stayed up far too late at night when my "few minutes of reading" prior to bed kept expanding into hours. It reads easy, and really grabs you. If you are a fan of Jack bauer and 24, you're sure to enjoy this book.
