"History has shown there are no invincible armies" Josef
Vissarionovich Stalin November 1939. Stalin has signed a
non-aggression pact with Hitler and is focussing on reclaiming the
former Grand Duchy of Finland. Alex Carlton is sent undercover as a
Swedish newspaper correspondent to monitor the developing situation
and report back to MI2, in London. As soviet bombers drop their
bombs on Helsinki, Alex arrives in Finland and soon finds himself
embroiled in the political and military efforts of a small Baltic
state facing the might of Russia. He is captivated by the sheer
determination of the Finnish people, and the skill and mastery of
their military leaders as they defend their country against
overwhelming odds, inflicting devastating casualties on the Soviet
aggressor. For the 105 days the war lasted, Alex faces danger and
risk, and after it is all over, he discovers that life is even more
complicated when the country is at peace.
