Prime Minister Allan Knowles' ratings soared thanks to the recent success of the Secret ‎Intelligence Service's fronted operations, Fulcrum Storm and Red Kite. The ever-changing world ‎thrust the UK PM back into the spotlight as he navigated the perilous path to war. Tensions ‎inside his government, international deceit, and Chinese subterfuge made the furtive steps to ‎global conflict seem perilous. Relying on his trusted personnel within MI6, these leading lights in ‎the world of espionage "fought dirty," using intelligence, guile, and tenacity to bring untested ‎weapons to bear on a ruthless enemy. Balancing national security, the egos of allies, and the ‎demands of the situation placed everyone under unrelenting strain. Political shenanigans and ‎duplicity weakened the core of their new Far East Alliance, leaving everything precariously ‎poised. Suspense reached a breaking point when even the most dedicated and courageous SAS, ‎SBS, and SIS operators struggled to reconcile their actions. Group Captain Claire Walters and ‎her ex-SAS Major, "Yorkie" Charlton, both accept that, in a different context, they would be ‎labelled war criminals. The dawning of new weapons of war beckons a new world order, and ‎nothing will be the same again. As always, change is the only constant. The world teetered on the ‎edge, with the potential for at least one nation to collapse and millions to perish!‎
