Doesn't really matter what you put in r5c7. Either way r4c9 < > 1. (a-d)

Code:
+--------------+--------------+--------------+
| 27  78  5    | 9   1   28   | 3   6   4    |
| 12  9   4    | 3   5   6    | 7   128 128  |
| 3   18  6    | 4   7   28   | 9   12  5    |
+--------------+--------------+--------------+
| 8   5   137  | 2   9   137  | 6   4   13d  |
| 9   2   13   | 6   4   5    | 18a 138 7    |
| 6   4   137  | 17  8   137  | 2   5   9    |
+--------------+--------------+--------------+
| 5   13  8    | 17  2   9    | 4   137 6    |
| 17  137 2    | 5   6   4    | 18b  9  138c |
| 4   6   9    | 8   3   17   | 5   127 12   |
+--------------+--------------+--------------+


Thanks Immp!

On a solving note, this came to me when I saw what I thought was going to be a skyscraper on 1's ab and cd. The extra 1's in r29c9 put paid to that idea but then I noticed that the cd "leg" had another strong link on 3's which turned it into something a bit different.

This took me a little while to understand this solution

I now can see it as if c=3, d=1, a=8 and then no <8> in box 9

In general if you see 3 strong links in a four sided structure it’s worth looking at. Whether a is 1 or 8 it eliminates 1 from r4c9.

Equally you could set r4c9 to 1 and your contradiction loop d-a-b-c would throw out the 1 you started with in r4c9

The ANP <137> in r8c12 also comes to the same conclusion:

ANP true and r8c7 = 8 r5c7 =1 and r4c9 < > 1
ANP false and r7c2 =1 r7c4= 7 r7c8 =3 so r5c8 < > 3 and r4c9 = 3 (< >1)

Or.....c=3 d=1 so a=8

and at the same time

c=3 and b=8

Two 8's in column 7
