Product Description:
Still reeling but rebuilding after Katrina's fury, New Orleans braces for another major hurricane heading her way. But a far greater threat is looming on the horizon—a manmade terror storm that will dwarf the destructive force of anything Mother Nature could have devised.
Following a tip, agent Jack Bauer has come to the Big Easy—and watches helplessly as two prime players representing America's most dangerous Latin American adversaries fall in a surprising hail of gunfire. With winds rapidly approaching gale force, the rogue CTU operative must now follow the blood trail to a completely unexpected source. Because in less than 24 hours, a ruthless enemy hiding among 'friends' plans to take out the already damaged Crescent City—and deliver a staggering blow from which the U.S. 'Satan' may never recover.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Couldn't finish it
I could not finish this book. I threw it away a few days ago. The other books by John Whitman and Marc Cerasini are great, but this guy wouldn't know how to write a kid's book. He's a terrible author.
Rating: - Worst of the worst
This is, without a doubt, one of the most boring things I've read in my life. Does something happens at all? Jack Bauer spends half the time on a SUV driving around, WAITING for clues, and TALKING to suspects in a sweet way. WHAT??? Is this even Bauer we're talking about? A General escaping from an assasination attempt and what he does to escape gets two paragraphs, while the description of a hat factory gets like 10 pages. Then, if this author really is into that stupid excessive descriptive narration of the useless, at least get it right. I guess even he got bored and he got the "final hour" done in 4 lines. 4 LINES for the "thrilling" final chapter!. A hurricane was minutes away from ravaging New Orleans but turned 180 degrees at the last second and then ravaged Cuba. This happens between 4 and 5 AM. Does he even know what a hurricane is?? This is stupid and there's no way I'm gonna read anything from this author. This novel was a total waste of time and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
Rating: - HERESY! Annual Book Burning August 21st
Wost 24 book ever. No, its not a 24 book. Its some sick author's wet dream of a boring detective story with 24 and Jack Bauer sprinkled in once every 90 pages. My friends and I burned this book in my backyard. We made a face book group about it called 24 Burning Day where we will buy a copy of this book and burn it. Some things are not supposed to be seen by mortal eyes.
Rating: - The Longest / Worst in the 24 Series - take your pick!
I'm a die-hard 24 fan, and am responsible for making my share of believers out of disbelievers, where Bauer is concerned. So, when these books began appearing on the shelves, naturally, I had to have mine!
I've read 3 "Declassified" adventures till date, and this book is way at the bottom (and digging!). It is by far the longest book, when in reality, had it been written using half the pages, it would perhaps have made a slightly more bearable reading.
This might perhaps be the only book in which Jack's appearances are smaller than the other characters. And to think we blind followers thought Jack was the central character in 24! Well, this book forced me to either reconsider, or trash it. No surprise what I chose.
To say nothing of the diatribe that the author goes into, from time to time. The only other book where I've read so many pages written describing a scene, without a single spoken word was Victor Hugo's classic Les Miserables in its unabridged version - and that's saying something. I recollect there was this particular piece describing the background of Beltran (one of the renegade criminals whom Jack is pursuing), which went into useless loops, as if the author wanted to put all his ideas into the single book he would ever get a chance to write.
That's it. I'm done here.
Actual rating: 0 / 5
Rating:  - A Failed Attempt
I am giving this book by David Jacobs 2-stars because, among other reasons, this title does not fit in with the "24 Declassified" Series. This series, together with the TV series is based on fast-paced action.
This book has serious flaws in the storyline as well. Some items are picked up and dropped and until the very end there is no real mention of the threat that is out there. Also, one page chapters (chapter 24) show how inadeqaute the editing on this book is.
