Publisher Description

A renegade terrorist with a bottomless personal grudge against all things American targets the most visible symbol of American prestige and power one clear morning in Florida as NASA prepares to launch the Space Shuttle. This time the shuttle carries a high-profile payload and a high-paying visitor on board as a guest, and astronaut Kenai Munro, the FBI special agent Patrick Chisolm and U.S. Coast Guard Captain Cal Schyler are doing everything they can to help the launch go off without a hitch. Can one terrorist with a gift for mass murder subvert all the forces arrayed against him in a bid for recognition and revenge?

Once again Dana Stabenow delivers an action-driven thriller with an ingenious, frightening, straight-from-the-headlines plot, certain to be her next bestseller, Prepared for Rage.

    " Very Good; stand-alone where a group of terrorists trys to hijack a Coast Guard ship to shoot a launching space shuttle out of the sky; a bit jumbled with the varied story lines "

    " This book is well-written for a political thriller, but I didn't like it nearly as much as the Kate Shugak books. It didn't have the Alaskan setting and the strong lead female character I love in those books. It was ok, for a thriller. "

    " This book surprised me -- I've read Stabenow's work on Kate Shugak & liked it but this one is totally different (following a terrorist) and very good. I wouldn't really call it a mystery, really a thriller. "

    " Found it a bit too contrived, Dana Stabenow just seemed to try too hard with this one. I love the Kate Shugak mysteries, I have been reading them since the first book came out years and years ago. I'll stick with Kate, this one didn't really do much for me. "

    " Not my favorite Stabenow book, but still a good read. I found this one a little slow off the top, I didn't really get caught up in it until I was at least half way through. Was a bit predicatable as well. Entertaining, but not her best work. "

    " Interesting plot, and well-written, but I wish there had been one clear hero to root for, rather than a too-vast cast of only loosely-connected good guys. And I never did quite understand Isa's motivations. "

    " I enjoyed what I read ok, but it failed to draw me in -- I think this was because all of the jumping around in time from character to character slowed down the narrative, and it just didn't feel suspenseful enough to me. "
