The sinking of a Chinese freighter provokes a crisis between India and China - in the fourth in the 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.

Dreamland is a cutting-edge weapons research facility in the Nevada desert - home to some of the world's finest pilots and an elite combat unit that operates directly at the command of the US President.

The Dreamland team fly to the South China Sea amid growing tensions between India and China. A Chinese freighter has been sunk by an unknown submarine-launched missile. Using Piranha, an experimental underwater probe, they begin to gather information on the mystery weapon. But events turn unexpectedly deadly, and the men and women of Dreamland must put their own lives on the line to keep the peace - while a shadowy force looks on, hell-bent on provoking a full-blown crisis

Former US Air Force captain Dale Brown was born in Buffalo, New York. He was still serving in the US Air Force, where he was a navigator-bombardier, when he wrote his first thriller, The Flight of the Old Dog.

'Clancy's got serious company.'
New York Daily News

'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... far too good to be missed.'
Sunday Mirror

'Brown puts us into the cockpits of wonderful machines and gives us quite a ride. His flying sequences are terrific ... authentic and gripping.'
