In the days of the Cold War, whenever one of the two superpowers were to launch nuclear weapons, the other nation would respond. Once just one nuclear warhead had been launched, much of the known world would have been destroyed by thermonuclear war and the radiation fallout.

The system was telling him that that alert's reliability level was "highest." There could be no doubt. America had launched a missile.
"A minute later the siren went off again. The second missile was launched. Then the third, and the fourth, and the fifth. Computers changed their alerts from 'launch' ...
