New York Times-Bestselling Authors: When terrorists take to the sea, America attacks from the air . . . In the Nevada desert, the high-tech future of warfare is being built at a top-secret military facility called Dreamland . . . As extremist Islamic pirates, armed and supported by a powerful Saudi terrorist, prey on civilian vessels in the Gulf of Aden, America aggressively answers with serious muscle-a next-generation littoral warship with a full range of automated weapons systems that the enemy has dubbed "Satan’s Tail." But unforeseen technological problems-combined with the suicidal tendencies of a fanatical foe-mean support is needed from above, and a pair of Dreamland’s awesome Megafortresses and their Flighthawk escorts are dispatched to the war zone. However, bitter professional rivalries threaten to damage, perhaps even destroy, the mission, as a vengeful opponent takes advantage of the disruption to strengthen his outlaw navy and set its sights horrifically high-raising the stakes in a battle the U.S. and the world simply cannot afford to lose.Acclaim for Dale Brown"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." -Sunday Mirror"Few novelists can craft an aerial battle scene more strategically." -Publishers Weekly"Brown puts us into the cockpits of wonderful machines and gives us quite a ride . . . authentic and gripping." -The New York Times
