Cobalt Blue

Product Information

I wasn’t aware that this book was a novella, so that was a tad disappointing to finish it so quickly. I can see how it went wrong knowing that this was intended as a film script and buffed out for a novella. This is not just his worst work, but it's something that is so reprehensible that I don't even want the book in my house in case my kids pick it up and read it. Don't go into this looking for anything too genius, but if you're keen for a damn good time that keeps you hooked, this ought to be a fun few hours.

This was a good example of strong female leads, along with a good bit of science, and a lot of fight scenes. Cassie checks on Trey and Gary, and then has the latter livestream on his social networks so that Cassie can declare the Fury's death and reveal herself to the world as Cobalt Blue. Black was certain that their only option would be to lure the Fury to a major city and detonate 10 nuclear warheads at once, though Cassie and Cobalt vehemently opposed the idea since it would sacrifice millions of civilians. Two weeks earlier, Cobalt informed Cassie that the psychopathic Fury wants to tear down everything America stands for, humiliate and kill its leaders, and something else she had warned Cassie about after a summit in Paris. It's a steady rise of stakes that will have you on the edge of your seat wondering how this could possibly end well.There's no time wasted on insignificant details, but there's somehow still enough description that we can easily find ourselves within the pages of the story.

Still would've made for an epic story and considering how smart we're constantly told they are, why was this not a contingency plan already in place? The story features Cassie Cassowitz - aka the eponymous Cobalt Blue - as the main protagonist as she steps up to become the superhero America needs.As they start to drive home, Cassie and Trey's car is surrounded by a motorcade containing the Vice President, who asks the pair to accompany him. Yet in spite of their great abilities, both continued to age as normal humans do, and Cobalt, already older than the Fury by two decades, eventually passes away at age 79. Reflecting on the teachings of her parents and older siblings (except Black), she uses coloured sharpies to mark her helmet in her siblings' signature colours before she and Trey set out to prepare for the Furies' arrival. Cassie briefly engages Russia and Moscow, damaging and removing the former's helmet before fleeing with Trey to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The Fury assumes she means Gary, aka Cobalt Gold, though Silvia indicates otherwise and starts praying as the Fury crushes her head.
