The Nick Journey series follows a Civil War-obsessed history professor who keeps stumbling into the kind of trouble that most academics only read about. In Cold Glory (2011), Journey and federal agent Meg Tolman race to find a shocking Civil War-era document before a militia group called the Glory Warriors can use it to reshape American politics. Silver Cross (2012) sends them after a letter from Napoleon III pledging French military support to the Confederacy.
Anderson grounds both books in real historical questions and lets the conspiracy thriller elements grow naturally from the gaps in the historical record. The result is a pair of fast-moving novels that will appeal to fans of Brad Meltzer and Steve Berry.
