Book Review

Prepared for Rage (2008)

EW's GRADE
B

Details Release Date: Feb 05, 2008; Writer: Dana Stabenow; Genres: Fiction, Mystery and Thriller; Publisher: St. Martin's Minotaur

To impress al-Qaeda and devastate America, a Pakistani terrorist tries to destroy a space shuttle. Meanwhile, a U.S. Coast Guard captain falls in love with one of the astronauts on board.

Movie Pitch
Apollo 13 meets United 93.

Bottom Line
Dana Stabenow knows Coast Guard and astronaut lingo, but the terrorists sound too much like Americans in Prepared for Rage: They shop at Banana Republic, eat at Carnegie Deli, and one even sees Broadway's Jersey Boys — and likes it. B
