Nuclear powered cruise missiles also feature in Missile Gap by the same author - ICBMs not being able to work for interesting reasons.

As someone who was a teenager in the late 70s and early 80s both A Colder War and Missile Gap appeal to my morbid fear of, and powerful fascination with, all things nuclear warish :-)

I'm about your age, then. (Born 1964, was 25 when the Berlin Wall came down: where I grew up, lived, went to school, and attended university was never more than 10km from a WarPac strategic nuclear target.)

Out of interest, were you writing perl in Edinburgh about '95? Because I have a very vague suspicion we may have met!
