Hey was a science writer, journalist, author and public relations specialist for Sandia National Laboratories. Graduating from the University of Utah, Nigel worked as an international journalist and expanded on his already deep interests in philosophy, science, writing and travel. Nigel moved to New Mexico in the 1960's working for small newspapers in and around Albuquerque before being recruited to Sandia Labs in 1966. Nigel succeeded in publishing three books early in his writing career and went on to publish the books Solar System and The Star Wars Enigma before retiring from Sandia. In 2012 he published Wonderment: A Love Affair with Adventure; a personal memoir and finalist in the NM-AZ Book Awards. Nigel was also a Fellow to the AAAS and a member of the NASW since 1971. The year 1982 was a desperate time for the U.S. defense community. The United States had no effective system to protect itself completely from a Soviet attack with nuclear-armed intercontinental ballistic missiles, which the Soviet Union possessed in large quantity, and the doomsday philosophy of mutually assured destruction seemed inescapable. But people in the Reagan administration, including Reagan himself, were not content with what they viewed as a morally unacceptable status quo. Then Adm. James Watkins, a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, asked, -Wouldn't it be better if we could develop a system that would protect, rather than avenge, our people?- With that, the president's commitment to the Strategic Defense Initiative became certain. Ultimately, SDI reflected Western political idealism, a powerful ingredient in the struggle to finally conquer the terrors of the Cold War and to allay the threat of nuclear holocaust. The Star Wars Enigma tells this dramatic story. First Paperback Edition [stated]. First Printing [stated].
