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, as a vengeful opponent takes advantage of the disruption to strengthen his outlaw navy and set its sights horrifically high--raising the stakes in a battle the U.S. and the world simply cannot afford to lose.
