24 Declassified: 08 - Collateral Damage

Product DescriptionIn 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.

Bolivar

He’s tasked with caring for an old dragon—too bad the dragon wants nothing to do with him. Wesley is the last in a long line of humans to care for the aging dragon Bolivar. He’s young, idealistic, and has waited his whole life to serve the dragon. But Bolivar is nothing like what he imagined. As he’s aged, he’s lost all of his dragon abilities, and his physical appearance is reverting, making him a teenager like Wesley as he grows nearer to his dragon death, when he will be reborn as a human. Wesley imagined the great deeds that he would do for his dragon master, but Bolivar has nothing for him to do. They soon grow bored of each other, and Bolivar sends Wesley off to college to get out of his hair. They still spend nearly every break together, and Wesley soon falls for Bolivar, though the dragon tells him he’s far too young and idealistic for him. As time goes on Wesley puts distance between them, but it doesn’t diminish how much he cares for Bolivar, and finally one day Bolivar accepts what Wesley has been saying all along—that he wants to have a life with him.
