602 Brigade

Could a manufacturing company such as Honda inadvertently betray Japan - and if so, would a consequence be war?

602 Brigade explores the effect of China invading Japan, where within weeks sixty million Japanese civilians are dead. The USA fails to intervene, with their President declaring the war a "local conflict".

Six survivors in Kagoshima, now hundreds of miles behind enemy lines, head north to an obscure airfield in the mountains in the hope of finding a light aircraft and flying to safety. Meanwhile their courageous action in Kagoshima and their journey inspires thousands of vengeful civilian refugees to head in the same direction.

Survival against the odds, betrayal, death and precious little glory. Who will lose their sanity first - the petite fifteen-year-old schoolgirl, the inexperienced pilot, or the last surviving garrison defenders?
