Prepared for Rage

This book is exciting, holds your interest, and builds suspense higher and higher, right to the end. I loved it. Ms. Stabenow's knowledge of terrorists and their methods is amazing. I also love the fact that she used a real Coast Guard ship as one of her characters in the story. As a movie, this one would make one very exciting ride, from beginning to end.

Dana Stabenow follows her award winning BLINDFOLD GAME with a second can't put down thriller with the US Coast Guard. PREPARED FOR RAGE opens with a disconcerting scene of life under primitive Muslim rule in a small village in Pakistan. From that point is steams full speed ahead, utilizing some characters from BLINDFOLD GAME as background, but this is a complete stand alone story which will grip you till the dramatic conclusion. Ms. Stabenow's graphic descriptions of the twisted mind of hate and irrational religious fervor is fantastic and as enthralling as the story itself. Thanks Dana from an ardent fan, you never fail to deliver. Nash Black, author of WRITING AS A SMALL BUSINESS and SINS OF THE FATHERS.

Stabenow takes threads from real life headlines and masterfully weaves them into a solid spellbinding fabric that is realistic and a terrific read. This one is very hard to put down, from the first chapter which is very emotionally disturbing to the exciting and still rather disturbing conclusion. The character development is rewarding to the reader while moving the plot forward to its final scenes.

The opening of this book is one of the most intense, disturbing passages I have ever read. And the book just keeps going from there. Several different elements, including the Coast Guard and the space program, are tied together as this fast paced book moves along. This is a book to pick up when you have time to read the whole thing - you won't want to put it down!
