24: The Ultimate Guide
 |
"24: The Ultimate Guide" is an essential for any hardcore 24 fan who cannot get enough of their favourite real-time drama. The 150 page book covers everything you could ever want to know about the greatest CTU agent, as well as all of his Counter Terrorist colleagues and people who have influenced him (and who he has influenced) over the last six years. The book begins with information on the man himself: images and text illustrating Jack Bauer's life since we met him, a fact file, his field gear and a list of his blood relatives and past relationships. After that we are led into the world of CTU, being thrown information about the CTU bullpen with impressive pictures and blueprints to help show us around the heart of the show. |
| That takes the book onto the personnel of CTU: guiding us through everything that happened in lives of Tony Almeida, Michelle Dessler, Nina Myers, Chloe O'Brian and all the other CTU techies. After that, the CTU commander files are listed, filling us in on the likes of Bill Buchanan and George Mason. The CTU gadgets and tactics are analysed next, showing off images of all the clever machinery the CTU team use to stop terrorists; both contraptions and weaponry. The government of 24 is next on the hit list: David Palmer's fact file reveals his uneasy alliances, his advisory skills and his assassination. Sherry Palmer, Wayne Palmer and Charles Logan are also analysed, giving vast character details from all their time on the show. |

Other notable figures in the Presidency, such as Secretary of Defence James Heller and Vice Presidents Jim Prescott and Noah Daniels, and Presidential advisors like Mike Novick and Karen Hayes. On top of all that, Presidential Locations are explored, showing blueprints and photographs of the places the Presidents have been since Day 1. We now move onto looking at each day in detail: right up to Season Six there are ten large pages for each season documenting what happened on that day. Key points throughout the episodes are displayed along the bottom, with other trivia and tidbits from the episodes on that page displayed above. There are also many pictures, and a round-up of what happens between the hours displayed. |
| Coming towards the end of the book, the "Citizens and CTU" section details all the people that have been mixed up with CTU during each season. From Jane Saunders and Miriam Henderson to Ray Wallace and Danny Dessler, you'll find them here. Finally, the index page documents everything there is to know about the book, and the show. Think of something from 24 - anything - and you will be able to find it here. With everything you could want to know about all the characters from the past six years, as well as detailed information on everything that happened each season, this is surely something every 24 fan should want. |  |
