There are some minor and major discrepancies in the surroundings that Jack finds himself in, but they do not detract from the plot. Would have given this 5 stars if it weren't for those!
Without spoiling the plot too much, Jack Bauer finds himself stranded in New York, trying to stop a terrorist plot, without any 'real' support from CTU.
Like the series, the novel consists of 24 chapters, with each chapter representing 1 hour in Jack Bauer's day. There's even the clock from the TV series. There's the usual multiple story lines and plot twists you'd expect from the TV series, but it doesn't go into as much detail as the TV series. Not really suprising, given that the book itself is only 316 pages.
A minor disappointment I felt, but it did make the book a light read, and also allowed me a read a chapter within a 20 minute coffee break at work.
My only real gripe about this book was at one point one of the characters hides under an office desk, whilst the office is shot up. The gunman stays in the room and changes the magazine in the submachine gun. Nothing new - but this takes about a whole 20 minutes according to the clock in the book. A minor problem - but it jumped straight out of the page at me!
Another thing I didn't really like, which you might just feel is down to taste, was that the author made the book a little too 'techy'. Jack Bauer has a tracking device in his watch, that CTU can use to track him, and at one point he uses to track his PDA (which he's given to another charcter so he can track them). This is Jack Bauer in 24, not James Bond as 007!
A good read, with what I felt were a few minor problems. But on the whole it stuck to the 'feel' of the TV series.
It wasn't a bad way to spend a week's worth of Coffee Breaks!
