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.… (more)

Not one of Brown's finest. The plot marches on in very neat detail and it's unbelievable. First, the reader mispronounces "ELINT" with a short E...many times. Then, the author would have us believe that a B-52, even a highly modified one can land on a 1500 foot runway created with metal matting. A base is established in the middle east using a half dozen guys, mostly pilots...pilots can do anything. Finally, the reader slogs through specifics that don't make sense because they aren't real. I finally gave up because I have better things to do with my time then listen to Charlie Brown's teacher drone on in my ear. ( )
