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 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.
