Product Description

The eighth in the series of high-tech thrillers centred on Dreamland -- a top-secret USAF weapons research centre -- from the acclaimed author of 'Act of War' and 'Plan of Attack.' While the Dreamland team is perfecting their latest weapon, code-named 'End game', an electromagnetic bomb that can knock out any electric device for miles, an Islamic terrorist cell is conducting covert attacks in the Arabian Sea. Targeting Indian ships and oil facilities, the terrorists seem to be escaping into thin air. India suspects that their long-time enemy Pakistan is behind the attacks and tensions between the two nuclear powers reaches breaking point. Meanwhile China is patrolling the sea, eager to flex the muscle of its new fleet of warships, and is drawn into the mix when one of its ships is mysteriously attacked. All-out war between the three countries appears imminent unless the Dreamland team can find out who is really behind the attacks. And their new End Game weapon may be the only hope of avoiding catastrophe.

Review
'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.' New York Times

Customer Reviews

Novel or Janes Defence Review?
If you are a technophobe then this book might just be for you - as it reads just like a Janes Defence Review with extensive weapons performance comparisons - and yes, you guessed it, the American systems are always equal or superior to anything else on the battlefield.

The story line is weak and the characters (for me) never really came to life.

Overall I would label it a typical gung ho tale that stretches credibility to the limit.
