Warning of possible missile attack flashed across ice and tundra to the North American Air Defense Command at Colorado Springs; a frantic flap spread over the continent. Airbases waited for red alerts, their bombers poised on the runways. Roused out of bed at home in Moorestown, Holmes listened carefully to a telephoned description of the frightening signals and realized what must have happened. Radar pulses from Thule had soared far beyond Russia...
