Overview

In the Nevada desert, the high-tech future of warfare is being conceived and constructed at a top-secret military facility called Dreamland.

The beast is alive and prowling the high seas. As extremist Islamic pirates, armed and supported by a powerful Saudi terrorist, prey on civilian vessels in the Gulf of Aden, America aggressively answers with serious muscle -- a next-generation littoral warship with a full range of automated weapons systems that the enemy has dubbed "Satan's Tail." However, unforeseen technological problems combined with the suicidal tendencies of a fanatical foe mean support is needed from above -- and a pair of Dreamland's awesome Megafortresses and their Flighthawk escorts are dispatched to the war zone. But bitter professional rivalries threaten to damage, perhaps even destroy, the mission, and a vengeful opponent takes advantage of the disruption to strengthen his outlaw navy -- raising the stakes in a battle the U.S. and the world simply cannot afford to lose.

Awful, boring, you name it

Written by Dan Pressley on September 16th, 2006

  • Book Rating: 1/5

I really tried to give this book a chance. I managed through over half of it but finally had to stop listening. The reader was terrible, monotone and seriously lacking the skills of the more successful audiobook readers like Scott Brick or George Guidall. On top of the boring reading, the book itself was not very exciting and I found myself thinking about other things while listening. I found that I didn't care about the characters or what happened in the story.
