24 Declassified: Storm Force

As evident by the previous reviews, you will either love the more "Tom Clancy" like approach to this 24 novel, or you will hate it. I, myself, found it to be a refreshing change from the "stalk, trap, release" storylines of the past. But in all fairness to David Jacobs, any author writing a franchise novel (Star Trek, 24, Batman, Spiderman, to name a few) must follow stringent guidelines and have their plot outline, writing style and character development approved by the franchise owner(s) before they can proceed. The people who developed and/or hold the rights to 24, as well as the editors at Harper Entertainment, sanctioned Mr. Jacobs' interpretation of the 24 World and to suggest that Storm Force is not a "real" 24 novel is ridiculous.
