Dale Brown and Jim DeFlice collaborate on a new novel based around the top secret US test base - Dreamland. Introduced to new characters, a reader gets a sense of diversity from the old with the nostalgic twinge of familiar people (the angst ridden pilot, the maverick, the beautiful scientist, the one woman battle against the male dominated environment). Good characters and all easily identifiable. Then the surprise comes in -old names and faces appear here and there giving the continuing feel for the whole series a boost. Anyway, the book follows the events at Dreamland after the James Spy Scandal, closure threats et al. A conflict involving Iran, Somalia and the rest of the usual Islamic suspects ensues and the top secret test weapons, planes and crew are sent to aid and assist. Overall a good read, not in Browns ferocious sense or style but at about 85% pace. Enjoyable read and hopefully more to come from the duo.
