""Had she known that in a world of gods and mortals, she was a Titan?"" It's the middle of the 23rd century, and life has never been better. But for those less privileged, things have never been worse. Torn from her childhood at just four years of age, Morgan has known only suffering. Her young life spent locked up with others just like her in one of many underground facilities known as Basements, where they're used for torturous experiments so severe that many never make it out. And even those who do are never truly free of the horrors they have experienced. After years of suffering, Morgan, whose eyes have turned a chilling metallic grey from the experiments she'd endured, is freed by the Rebellion. Now known to many as Titanium, Morgan seizes the opportunity to inflict revenge for everything that was ever done to her and quickly works her way up until she becomes the leader of her own army, the Titans, named after their fearless metallic-eyed leader.

Gordin provides a new understanding of the origins of the nuclear arms race and fresh insight into the problem of proliferation.

This surprising international event marked the beginning of an arms race that would ultimately lead to nuclear proliferation beyond the two superpowers of the Soviet Union and the United States. With the use of newly opened archives, Michael D. Gordin follows a trail of espionage, secrecy, deception, political brinksmanship, and technical innovation to provide a fresh understanding of the nuclear arms race.
