Hidden in the Nevada desert is America`s most advanced aerospace-weapons testing facility. Dreamland is the place where the nation`s top minds come to develop artillery and aircraft that push beyond the cutting edge. And where the Air Force`s top guns come to test them - on the front lines of a new era in warfare...

Colonel Tecumseh `Dog` Bastian is sent in. He`s just the guy to shake things up...and does when a situation erupts in Somalia. Into a hotter-than-hot war zone, he sends his own daughter - the pilot of a Megafortress bomber - and a high-tech, unmanned flight system that could make or break the future of Dreamland...
