But the outpost is thrust into the international spotlight when troops begin massing in the area; and, as the situation becomes increasingly dangerous, Tate discovers the real, truly shocking, purpose behind 'Red Station' - and decides to fight back . . .

When the decision is taken to abandon the talks, anybody in the know immediately becomes a target to be silenced. And Portman finds himself at the top of the list...
