The United States and the Soviet Union are on the brink of nuclear war.

At a top-secret research facility at Kavaznya, Sibera, the Soviets have developed a ground-based laser weapon capable of shooting down American satellites, and they are betting that the American president doesn't have the guts to risk starting a nuclear exchange.But at a top- secret flight test site in the Nevada desert called "Dreamland," a team of test pilots and engineers have created the Megafortress: a venerable B-52 Stratofortress strategic bombers modified with stealth technology, computers, digital avionics, state-of-the-art weaponry, and performance-enhancing features that makes it unlike any B-52 bomber--or any other warplane--ever flown.
