Features & Highlights

  • Peace is an illusion . . .The Apocalypse is days away.
  • The world’s attention is focused on the historic plans of the U.S. and Iranian presidents to lay down their swords. But on the African continent, one man holds the power to obliterate the peace by unleashing terror and global chaos—and no one sees it coming.
  • Hiding behind the bloody madness of tribal warfare in the Horn of Africa, Iranian functionary-turned-fanatic Bani Aberhadji has achieved the impossible—single-handedly creating a vast, invisible network dedicated to the construction, delivery, and detonation of a nuclear nightmare. Only by chance are American agents now learning of its existence, and it may already be too late.
  • Born from the ashes of Dreamland, the covert strike force Whiplash is armed and ready to spring into action—led by Dreamland veterans Danny Freah and former acepilot, now Washington insider, Breanna Stockard. But Aberhadji’s web of death is wide and well concealed . . . and the doomsday clock is ticking.

Dreamland Changes

Dreamland has moved ahead 12 years from the previous book. Was not expecting this but at the same time a pleasant surprise. The previous book Revolution ended in 1998. This starts in 2012. Missing are several main characters from the previous several books, and no mention as to their whereabouts exists in this one. There are still some core characters in this one, which is now centered more on the covert team called "Whiplash", hence the title, as opposed to the technology and military hardware being developed at Dreamland.

This story revolves around a rogue (big surprise) Iranian imam who has material to develop a nuclear warhead. The goal as usual is to use it against Israel or possibly the U.S. He is also not happy with the Iranian president and wants to have him overthrown.

Most of the book takes place in the Sudan, where the Whiplash team, joined by new members introduced to the series, including a CIA operative have to find where the bomb is being held and made. A lot of character interaction makes this a decent read, with enough action to keep it at a good pace.
