Hidden in the Nevada desert is Dreamland - an advanced aerospace-weapons testing facility where the best of the best develop artillery and aircraft that push beyond the cutting edge.
Dreamland's latest project - Flighthawk: an unmanned aerial-attack aircraft. To help pilots master the complex remote-flying skills required to control it a high risk system is being trialed in which a microchip is implanted in the pilot's skull. Initially, all goes well for the first volunteer, Army Captain Kevin Madrone. But the psychological stress proves too much - and suddenly Madrone dissapears, armed with one of the most powerful weapons in the world...

Review by: cheekiedrakie (Bratt)
Dated: 25th of October, 2005
The feeling of anticipation left at the end of "Dreamland" never ceased the whole time I was reading "Nerve Center". This book is well worth every cent I paid for it.
The level of realism in this book was a little over the top, but from what I understand, thats Dale Brown's style, and I'm not complaining. This book kept me enthralled from cover to cover.
I could easily re-read this book (and I plan to, just as soon as I finish the series).
One thing that was different from the first in the series, was, I was able to put the book down, not that I'm complaining, I do need to eat sometime. But when I was reading I easily lost track of time, which made the 20 minute walk home from school seem like 2 minutes, and to the number of drivers I frustrated when I missed my chance to cross the road, I'm sorry.
Overall, a good read. Similar to a good steak: Not overdone, and not still running round the paddock. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a good sci-fi/thriller. Though if you do choose to read this book, I highly suggest that before you do, you read the first book in the series, it explains a lot.

Everyone has heard of a Tyrannosaurus Rex and a Diplodocus but what on earth is a Tyranno Sort of Rex and a Bit odd ocus? When the ship carrying boxes of dinosaur bones to the city museum gets caught in a dreadful storm, the boxes are broken and the bones get mixed up. The hapless museum curator is tasked with the job of putting them back together in time for the next day's exhibition, with curious results.
