Publisher Description
Cold Glory is the exciting start to a brand-new thriller series by B. Kent Anderson.
When the first page of a shocking Civil War-era document is unearthed in Oklahoma, history professor Nick Journey is called in to evaluate the find--and is promptly attacked by two men armed with Special Forces weapons.
Federal agent Meg Tolman's investigation into Journey's attack uncovers more troubling questions than answers. She soon finds herself joining Journey's cross-country quest to recover and protect the missing pages.
A shadowy group, the Glory Warriors, have been desperately searching for this explosive document to legitimize what is nothing less than a military coup. After their first attempt to steal it from Journey fails, they follow him, knowing that he holds the key to uncovering the long-lost papers.
They also set their plan into motion and begin assassinating key political figures. As the country plunges into chaos, Journey and Tolman search frantically for the remaining pages. And the Glory Warrior operatives are hot on their trail….
At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Civil War buffs have often wondered what Lee and Grant said and did in the few minutes they spent alone at Appomattox Court House before the surrender ceremony. According to Anderson, in this clever first in a new series, the two commanders signed documents that authorized the use of a secret fighting force, the Glory Warriors, who are prepared to take over the U.S. government, if needed, after the war. The Glory Warriors, who've continued in the shadows ever since, are ready in the present to seize control of what they see as an enfeebled and inept government. History professor Nick Journey becomes involved after a large cache of Civil War weapons, plus a curious document, are discovered in Oklahoma. In Washington, D.C., government researcher Meg Tolman looks into the case after Nick is attacked. The two are soon chasing down clues and codes that lead them to the conspirators. Anderson's original if unlikely premise should appeal to fans of historical conspiracy thrillers.
