| This science fiction adventure takes place in the near future. In the year 2005 terrorists have unleashed a plague upon the Earth through the genetically engineered X-Pox virus. Millionaire Tad Mikleszewski (called TM, or Tango Midnight as in the letters in the military alphabet) buys a trip to the International Space Station in order to work on a vaccine for X-Pox in the micro-gravity of space. Once there, however, the pathogen breaches its barriers and contaminates the Harmony module with TM locked inside. Now there's a race against time using American, Russian, and Chinese technologies to rescue TM and decontaminate the space station. | ||
