The hunt is on for a mystery weapon shooting down American planes over Iraq in the New York Times–bestselling author's high-tech military thriller series.
Hidden in the Nevada desert is Dreamland—a top-secret research center developing experimental 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.
Whiplash's latest mission begins when a series of American planes are shot down over Iraq in mysterious circumstances. There is no way that conventional weapons could have executed the deadly efficient strikes. Can the Iraqis have developed a laser capable of causing such mayhem?
Fearing a major international crisis, the President sends a call out to Dreamland. Within hours, some of the most sophisticated aircraft in the world are heading for the Gulf, with orders to track down the mystery weapon—and destroy it.
