In a remote corner of New Jersey is a nation within a nation--a refuge
for fanatical converts and fervent believers. But within the confines of
the secluded Islamic community of Kurmastan, plans are underway to
spread fear, death, and untold destruction across America . . . and to
deliver one fatal blow to the country's exposed and vulnerable heart.
On the East coast to supervise the activation of CTU's New York office,
rogue agent Jack Bauer finds himself in the center of an unleashed
hurricane perhaps already too powerful to stop. But if it isn't, in
twenty-four hours the U.S. will be brought to its knees by a secret army
grown on its own earth. And there is no one Jack Bauer can
trust--because the roots of the terror go very deep . . . and
frighteningly high.
