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.

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 ace pilot, now Washington insider, Breanna Stockard.
