Book Description:
The fourth 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 Wings of Fire. Hidden in the Nevada desert is Dreamland -- an advanced research centre dedicated to developing artillery and aircraft that push beyond the cutting edge. It is also home to Whiplash -- a covert team of special forces trained to deploy the high-tech weapons in extreme situations. 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.

Keep them coming. This Dreamland Series is cutting edge reading. Once you start you cannot stop. Can't wait for the next Dreamland Chapter.

Like Dale Brown's books, the beginning runs through the technical aspects of operations. It warms up mid way with the personal interaction. If you want a book to read with alot of personal touchy- feely, this is not the book for you. If you like a more straight forward approach in technical read concerning interactions between rivals on the brige of war and conflict, you may enjoy this book.
His woefully-inadequate grasp of technology and his faulty research is juxtaposed by his great talent of weaving an intriguing story from his fertile imagination and his skillful characterizations. This is not his best, though an okay read.
A showdown between Indian and Chinese navies in the Pacific gives Dreamland the chance to test a new remote-operated underwater probe, Piranha. But tensions erupt into violence, so Dreamland rushes an unnamed bomber project off the drawing board -- and into the sky.
Few novelists can craft an aerial battle scene more strategically than former U.S. Air Force Captain Brown, and he and DeFelice are in fine form here!
