Description
A journey into the most secret place in AmericaA story of secrecy, suspicion, and conspiracyA history of a place that does not legally existDreamland zooms in on Area 51–the nearly four million acres of Nevada airspace that has been a base for experimental military aircraft, the fount of UFO rumors, and the alleged site of alien insurrection. How this real-life legend came to exist is Phil Patton’s tale. He explores the mystery and fantasy surrounding the place, peeks over the edge of paranoia, and tracks strange objects in the air above this country of the mind. He visits spies and counterspies, test pilots and secret agents, and tunnels into the subcultures of true believers and conspiracy buffs. Reviewers have applauded Dreamland as “brilliant,” “fascinating,” “weird, wonderful, sometimes spooky,” “curiously epic, frequently humorous, and always entertaining.” Dreamland is a novelistic tour de force that makes us all rethink our convictions about American know-how–and alien inventiveness.

"A mind-opening tale of trespass and revelation, of road adventures, technothriller hardware, saucer folks and aerospace outlaws–as well as a daring account of the haunting of our history through the Cold War and beyond by what we have seen, and often wish we had not seen, in the hazardous dreamscape of the American sky."–Thomas Pynchon"A hitchhiker's guide to a place that doesn't appear on any maps." –The Washington Post |
