Declassified, Vanishing Point, by Marc Cerasini

Monday, January 28th, 2008

Okay, this was one of the worst books I’ve read. Oh, it satisfied some of the “24″ fix that the reader would want, but it was just consistently below average. The book had numerous mistakes in it, and seemed to be thrown together to try and satisfy those hungry for more Jack Bauer.
