Product Description
In a remote corner of New Jersey is a nation within a nation—a refuge for fanatical converts and fervent believers. But within the confines of the secluded Islamic community of Kurmastan, plans are underway to spread fear, death, and untold destruction across America . . . and to deliver one fatal blow to the country's exposed and vulnerable heart.
On the East coast to supervise the activation of CTU's New York office, rogue agent Jack Bauer finds himself in the center of an unleashed hurricane perhaps already too powerful to stop. But if it isn't, in twenty-four hours the U.S. will be brought to its knees by a secret army grown on its own earth. And there is no one Jack Bauer can trust—because the roots of the terror go very deep . . . and frighteningly high.

Different enough from the standard CTU fare,
By
This review is from: 24 Declassified: Collateral Damage (Mass Market Paperback)
This book suffers from the same thing all of the books do, which is Jack's dialogue not sounding true to life. Otherwise it does enough right to recommend it to people looking for something "fresh" in the otherwise incredibly repetitive world of Jack Bauer's America. It would be remiss of me to neglect to mention the substantial increase in violence in this book as compared to the show, comics, or other books I've so far. People are torn to pieces by angry mobs, not in Stephen King/Clive Barker level detail but still with enough clarity to turn weaker stomachs

JACK, THE HERO WE NEED...,
By SarahKlein "Sarah" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 24 Declassified: Collateral Damage (Mass Market Paperback)
I enjoyed this entry in the 24 series. Full of action and violence but also full of wonderful moments of heroism. You see, it's the heroism, not the politics, that draws us 24 fans again and again to Jack Bauer. He sacrifices for a greater good, wrestles with doing a wrong thing for the right reason, and this author delivers those moments beautifully. Don't miss Collateral Damage if you are a fan of 24. As a New Yorker, I found it especially refreshing to have the setting moved East and accurate to the city I live in.
Don't be afraid of this book if you have never seen 24. It reads very well as a stand-alone thriller. All of the characters are well explained and well defined, all of the settings are well described, and all of the organizations are well explained, too, including CTU, the CIA unit for which Jack Bauer works. In fact, if you read this book, you may better understand the show itself--how Jack thinks, how CTU fits into the larger scheme of government, and what it is attempting to accomplish. In any event, I agree with the other reviews. Good read. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful:
5.0 out of 5 stars
Even better!,
By S. Wang - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 24 Declassified: Collateral Damage (Mass Market Paperback)
Wow..I just finished this book today and it was awesome. It's better than the other ones. The plot is very interesting. Instead of saving the world from terrorists in LA, Bauer gets sent to the Big Apple to fix all the problems that the CTU branch in New York has! It's very interesting and the book has kinda a twist in the middle. You think that it starts out as a book where the enemy is just a bunch of terrorists that don't like the US but then there is a twist and you find out that they actually want to bring down the US economy! It's also good because Almeida and Morris o Brian are the supporting characters. Almeida is great and Morris Brian provides good comic relief during tense moments in the book. Yeah. This book rocks! Marc Cerasini....don't stop writing....

True to the Fans....,
By Priscilla Dowling - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 24 Declassified: Collateral Damage (Mass Market Paperback)
I'm a huge 24 fan and have been reading the declassified books since the first one was released. The last book (Storm Force) left a bad taste in my mouth. Worst "24" book ever. I wrote a review for that book as well.
Marc Cerasini, however, does not disappoint. Collateral Damage is a great read. He continues to be the best at conveying a compelling Jack Bauer novel. He weaves plenty of action and suspense throughout a well told story. The book moves fast. It starts off with Jack and company being ambushed and the action doesn't stop until the last page. There are many of our favorite characters as well as new ones. If you are a 24 fan, you'll love the book. |
