Book review: “Cold Glory” by B. Kent Anderson

BY BETTY LYTLE | Published: January 29, 2012

“Cold Glory” (A Forge Hardcover, $24.99) is a historical mystery by B. Kent Anderson. The Oklahoma author is a journalist and broadcaster, and a graduate of the University of Central Oklahoma.



A Civil War-era document is unearthed at Fort Washita in Oklahoma, along with a cache of Union and Confederate weapons and an odd gold pin with the initials G.W. engraved on it. History professor Nick Journey is troubled by the document, which is incomplete.

He knows there must be other pages. Before he can begin his search for the rest of the document, he is attacked by two men armed with special forces weapons. The men are wearing gold G.W. pins.

The covert Glory Warriors have been searching for the document, which is a secret agreement signed by Generals Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox. It legitimizes a military coup, if the heads of the three branches of government are removed.

Journey teams with Meg Tolman, a specialist in the Federal Research and Investigations office. She is the only official who believes him. Together they work to evade the G.W. and to find the missing parts of the document.

This fast-paced historical mystery was hard to put down. In addition, there is a back story of Journey's 12-year old autistic son. Journey's ex-wife couldn't cope with the child, so Journey is raising him alone. The connection between Journey and his son is a beautiful thing.
