Nerve Centre (Book 2 Of Dale Brown’s Dreamland)

Description: The second in a new series of high-tech, military-adventure thrillers centred on Dreamland, a top-secret weapons research centre, from the acclaimed author of FLIGHT OF THE OLD DOG and WARRIOR CLASS. Hidden in the Nevada desert is Dreamland -- an advanced aerospace-weapons testing facility where the best of the best develop artillery and aircraft that push beyond the cutting edge. Dreamland's latest project is Flighthawk -- an unmanned aerial-attack aircraft. To help pilots master the complex remote-flying skills required to control it, a high-risk system is being trialled, in which a microchip is implanted in the pilot's skull. Initially, all goes well for the first volunteer, Army Captain Kevin Madrone. But the psychological stress proves too much -- and suddenly Madrone disappears, armed with one of the most powerful weapons in the world! Review: 'Clancy's got serious company.' NEW YORK DAILY NEWS 'When a former pilot turns his hand to writing thrillers you can take their authenticity for granted. His writing is exceptional and the dialogue, plots and characters are first-class! far too good to be missed.' SUNDAY MIRROR 'Dale Brown is the best military adventure writer in the country.' CLIVE CUSSLER 'Dale Brown is a master at mixing technology and action. He puts readers right into the middle of the inferno.'
