 Set in the early ‘70s, Anderson's The Cool Woman opens readers' eyes to the bravery and heroism of America's Vietnam veterans.
Fighter pilot Lieutenant Bill Mann graduated tops in his Air Force class and is now heading to Vietnam as the only black pilot in the 1st Special Operations Squadron. Following in the footsteps of his late father, a Tuskegee Airman, Mann wants to make his mark in history.
Thinking he has everything a man could want-a beautiful wife and a job he loved-Mann sees his personal life spiral downward when his wife asks for a divorce, and the only thing keeping him going is his quest to prove he is the best fighter pilot around. During one particularly difficult assignment, he must face an enemy from his past and is forced not only to save the lives of his friends, but his own as well.
Anderson uses his military experience and knowledge to paint authentic war scenes. Throughout the story, he supplies backgrounds for his characters to reflect the social issues of the era. His characters display qualities readers can relate to and demonstrate how God intervenes in their lives.
