In the volatile Gulf of Aden, extremist Islamic pirates, backed by a powerful Saudi terrorist, target civilian vessels. America deploys a cutting-edge littoral warship, 'Satan's Tail,' equipped with advanced automated weapons. However, unforeseen technical glitches and the enemy's fanatical tactics necessitate air support from Dreamland's Megafortresses and Flighthawk escorts. Amidst bitter professional rivalries, a vengeful opponent exploits the chaos, strengthening his outlaw navy and escalating the conflict to a global scale.
While this is the fourth installment in the Dreamland series, it functions as a self-contained mission that can be understood on its own. However, reading the preceding books provides necessary context for the established professional relationships and the ongoing development of the Dreamland facility.
The Dreamland series shares a common universe with the author's Patrick McLanahan novels. You will occasionally encounter references to characters and advanced technology that appear across these interconnected series.
