The second in a new series of high-tech, military-adventure thrillers centred on Dreamland, a top-secret weapons research centre, from the acclaimed author of FLIGHT OF THE OLD DOG and WARRIOR CLASS.

Initially, all goes well for the first volunteer, Army Captain Kevin Madrone. But the psychological stress proves too much – and suddenly Madrone disappears, armed with one of the most powerful weapons in the world…
