Last season, CIA agent Jack Bauer, played by Golden Globe award-winning actor Keifer Sutherland, had us glued to our TVs and cursing the time clock as he uncovered a plot to assassinate presidential nominee, David Palmer. With just 24 hours to identify the killer, Bauer also had to deal with the kidnapping of his wife and daughter and the existence of a mole at the agency.

This season he's at it again, helping President David Palmer save Los Angeles from nuclear ravage.

Lest you think Jack had some down time between life-altering experiences, check out 24: The House Special Subcommittees Findings at CTU. It's a new book providing a riveting account of Jack's grueling appearance before our government's most inquiring minds during their probe into alleged wrongdoings at CTU that first fateful 24 hour period. The testimony from these closed hearings was leaked to investigative journalist Marc Cerasini, who then ran with it to publisher HarperCollins.

With some of the finest reporting seen since Woodward's coverage of the Pentagon Papers, this book contains:

• Jack Bauer's complete Grand Jury Testimony
• Press statements from President-elect David Palmer
• Transcribed debriefings with other key CTU agents
• Previously sealed files on Bauer's related undercover act6ivities
• The arrest, detainment and transport records for Victor Drazen
• Teri Bauer's medical records
• Autopsy reports
• Campaign finance records
• Commentary from the Beltway's most celebrated political pundits
• Theories as to how and why key players within CTU turned.

Customer reviews:

BEST SHOW EVER, 2006-07-28
In my opinion, 24 is the best show on TV right now. It is suspenseful and keeps your interest all through the show. There are also surprise twists throughtout the show. When I watched the first episode, I didn't think that I would watch anymore of it, but I soon realized that after you watch one episode, YOU ARE HOOKED!! If you watch this show...believe me....you won't regret it!!

Good for anyone who digs 24, 2005-09-03
This book is essentially just a recap of everything that happened Season 1. The author just made up the words as a transcript for a Congressional Hearing about the events that occured that day. It's a fun read for anyone who likes 24, and the author has the voice of the characters down, it just seems kind of cheap. There is some good information about what happened in the series between Seasons 1 and 2, and it also provides some more detailed character analysis.

I know this author is writing a few more 24 books, so I'd be advised to to review them first before I bought them. If they are the same thing for Seasons 2-4 I'd probably pass on them.

Overall though, it is a fun read, and the style (it poses as an investigative reporter who is telling the "true" story of that day's events) is cool, it's just not the most thrilling book in the world.
