For nearly forty years, the Cold War rested on a terrifying assumption: peace would be preserved through the certainty of mutual destruction. Then, in 1983, President Ronald Reagan challenged the unchallengeable. The Strategic Defense Initiative—quickly labeled “Star Wars”—was not merely a missile defense proposal. It was a direct assault on the logic of Mutually Assured Destruction itself. Critics dismissed it as fantasy. Allies feared destabilization. Moscow saw something far more dangerous: a shift in the strategic balance that threatened to make its nuclear arsenal obsolete. But...

Tim Koeth peered into the crumpled brown paper bag; inside was a surprisingly heavy black metal cube. He recognized the mysterious object instantly—he had one just like it sitting on his desk at home. It was uranium metal, taken from the nuclear reactor that Nazi scientists had tried—and failed—to build at the end of World War II. This unexpected gift, wrapped in a piece of paper inscribed with a few cryptic but crucial lines, would launch Koeth, a nuclear physicist and professor, and his colleague Miriam Hiebert, a cultural heritage scientist, on an odyssey to trace the tale of these cubes.
