Synopsis

The first in a new series of high-tech thrillers centred on Dreamland – a top-secret USAF weapons research centre – from the acclaimed author of Flight of the Old Dog and Warrior Class.

WHERE THE BEST OF THE BEST TAKE TO THE SKIES...

Hidden in the Nevada desert is America’s most advanced aerospace-weapons testing facility. Dreamland is the place where the nation’s top minds come to develop artillery and aircraft that push beyond the cutting edge. And where the Air Force’s top guns come to test them – on the front lines of a new era in warfare.

But the fiasco of a spy’s infiltration has the Pentagon looking for an excuse to close down the expensive research centre. To clean up the mess, Lt Colonel ‘Dog’ Bastian is sent in. He’s just the guy to shake things up... and does when a crisis erupts in Somalia. Into a hotter-than-hot war zone he sends his own daughter – the pilot of a Megafortress bomber – and a high-tech, unmanned flight system that could make or break the future of Dreamland.

About this title

Review:

‘Clancy’s got serious company.’
New York Daily News

‘When a former pilot turns his hand to writing thrillers you can take their authenticity for granted. His writing is exceptional and the dialogue, plots and characters are first-class... far too good to be missed.’
Sunday Mirror

‘Dale Brown is a master at mixing technology and action. He puts readers right into the middle of the inferno.’
LARRY BOND

‘You have to hug the seat when reading Dale Brown. The one-time US Air Force captain navigates his way at such a fearsome pace it is impossible to take your eyes off the page.’
Oxford Times

‘Dale Brown is a superb storyteller.’
Washington Post

Synopsis:

As the world's one remaining superpower, it seems that America is the only nation capable of keeping global peace. With nuclear, biological and chemical weapons in the hands of terrorists and Third World countries and age-old ethnic and religious conflicts keeping tempers white-hot, the stakes are high. So how can America prevent the next war from wiping out half the planet? The answer is Dreamland. The High Technology Aerospace Weapons Centre in Nevada - known as Dreamland - is America's most advanced weapons laboratory. It is also home to a crack commando group codenamed Whiplash. Armed with testing-stage aircraft and weapons that push beyond the cutting edge, the men and women of Whiplash can handle missions far beyond the abilities of normal military units - and are the first team the President turns to when America's vital interests are threatened.
