Publisher's summary

The weapon is codenamed “Razor” - the brainchild of the brilliant minds at Dreamland - a mobile chemical laser system with a range of 600 kilometers, capable of downing anything that flies. The destruction of an American aircraft over Northern Iraq suggests the inexplicable and unthinkable: a vengeful foe now possesses the lethal technology. It is a fear that draws an old warrior out of retirement, and sends Dreamland’s best pilots to the skies to determine what the enemy has and to help take it away from him. But politics threatens to crush a covert engagement that must be won in the air and on the ground, unleashing a devastating rain of friendly fire that could ultimately annihilate a nation’s champions… and perhaps Dreamland itself.

Dream on: listen to more in Dale Brown's Dreamland series.

Great people and action

People were so lifelike and did what real people would do in war and peace

Entertaining fiction

Good story. Keeps the readers attention and has a lot of good military nomenclature. But it lacks a warrior's perspective. For one, no Air Force special ops unit would ever lead a ground special ops combat unit from any other branch - especially MARSOC. It's not their mission or expertise. AF PJs and JTACs are great, but they would never operate as a leadership unit in areas outside their expertise. Second, the 'Whiplash' unit would not be 'part time' with unit members having day jobs...then getting called up by the President to supercede many other tier 1 or 2 special operations units who are superior in every aspect. Just not even close to reality. Third, and here is where I realized Dale Brown, albeit a good writer, never served in uniform, and needs way better editors: no soldier, airman, marine or sailor will EVER call a pistol or rifle a "gun" or it's respective magazine a "clip". That is simply embarrassing.

Tedious; disappointing

This military technology novel is set in 1998 Iraq with the topic being enforcement of the no-fly zones. It's not a bad novel, but it is too long and as a result becomes tedious.
