Description
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... As politicians push for more budget cuts, Colonel "Dog" Bastian must do what he can to salvage a key experimental program known as ANTARES - a method of merging electronic data show more with a pilot's natural senses. In need of quick results, a test pilot is hooked into the system - a system that allows him to operate several planes at once directly from his brain. But when he can no longer distinguish reality from computer-induced delusions, Dreamland's worst nightmare comes to life. Praise for Dale Brown's Dreamland: "Few novelists can craft an aerial battle scene more strategically than former U.S. Air Force Captain Brown, and he and DeFelice are in fine form here." - Publishers Weekly show lessTags

Techno thriller involves high tech stuff of Dreamland--interfacing experimental computer/human brain and piloting drones. Starts off a little unreal as the commander of "Dreamland" takes orders from a Congressman. Author's bread and butter technology laden airplane, a modified B-52, multiples and becomes many. One of them goes berserk as the pilot takes retribution over two continents with a South American revolution thrown in....naw! C'mon Brown, get a grip.
Direct connection of flight controls to brain.
