The sudden build-up of troopers in the southern Brown Zone, and a conviction that someone is still betraying the Women’s Line, provide a stimulating assignment. Breta gets more than he bargained for during his clandestine visit to the bay region, but this only serves to strengthen his resolve to implement an alliance between the Sky pilots, the Kauri-Australia Line (KAL) and the Women’s Line to overthrow the totalitarian Australian government.
