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.
