The Area 51 is America's top-secret advanced military testing ground, hidden away in the Nevada desert, where the awesome weapons of tomorrow are being developed. But a mole inside the impregnable facility has been leaking highly advanced killing technology to America's worst enemies ...who intend to turn its destructive power on an unsuspecting nation before the day is out. Agent Jack Bauer has a mere twenty-four hours to derail a horrific plot, as a deadly endgame takes shape in the neon glare of nearby Las Vegas. But to do so, the rogue CTU operative will have to lead an impossible assault on Area 51 itself - and expose a lethal string of betrayal and corruption that leads from the terrorists to the underworld and all the way into the heart of the U.S. government.
Within twenty-four hours a nightmare will be unleashed that could cause the death of untold millions and devastate a continent. It's a plot being carried out by the unlikeliest of allies. A powerful mole within the deepest reaches of US Intelligence has secretly conscripted the very criminals he's been charged with investigating – former IRA terrorists, Latino and Asian gang members, Middle Eastern assassins and others – creating one of the most insidious terrorist networks law enforcement has ever had to deal with. One man stands between the destroyers and the death tide: Jack Bauer, lone wolf operative for America's brand-new elite Counter Terrorist Unit. But he's three thousand miles from the CTU command centre without backup in a strange city, New York. He's been artfully set up and is being hunted by the FBI for the murder of two of its agents. And time's almost up…
The annual Silver Screen Awards are being held in the Los Angeles Chamberlain Auditorium. Hollywood's elite will be there, as well as political dignitaries, including the wife and daughter of the Russian Prime Minister. When CTU's cyber unit discover a 'Trojan Horse' - a computer virus that hides in downloadable files - that attacks the payroll systems of Movie industry giants, it appears initially to be a rogue criminal intent on derailing one movie studio's summer blockbuster release. But a mysterious string of linked murders alert CTU that something bigger is on the cards. They are right. Chechen rebels are getting ready to strike very publicly, as they have done before in Russia - the awards ceremony will be televised in over 50 nations. They have gained control of all of the security systems in the Chamberlain Auditorium. Only this time, their target is in the United States. This time, they have to contend with Agent Jack Bauer.
