24 Declassified: Collateral Damage

Marc Cerasini is the bomb. I'm only on page 68, but this book rocks. 

He's weaving in character details from stuff in the sets of the show, is all I'm saying. And Greek mythology in the humourous dialogue! Lufs.

That is all.

What! A GOOD 24 novelization? Those things are as rare as perimeters that peremiterize.

What's the time frame of the novel?

It's in that magically-expanding time before Day 1, but after Jack joins CTU. The books follow each other, although I notice that they usually only refer to events in other books by the same author. It must be a nightmare of continuity, because they keep having to work new characters from the show into the past. This one has a mention of Bill, and Morris plays a role.

(Cue Logan: "You played a role, Morris. You played a role.")

It's a bit AU, because it seemed like Jack did not know Morris when he was introduced in Season 5. I could be wrong. I'm not up to that point in my re-watch. The characterization is awesome, so I'm willing to forgive timeline issues. Especially as the show doesn't treat the books as canon, from what I can make out.
