Cobalt Blue
- Brand: Unbranded
Description
The Fury eventually gets the upper hand and throws Gary into a construction pit, then grabs the entire Stratosphere Tower and throws it down like a spear, and when the dust settles there is no sign of Cobalt Gold. It should be noted straight off that this is a Novella, just so that people know that this is not a full-sized novel. I didn’t really like the type of genre but every chapter had a cliffhanger so that made me read the whole book. He wants to storm America, crush its monuments, and murder its people, starting with Cobalt Blue’s super-offspring.
In the face of an overwhelming attack, one young woman - unassuming and anonymous - might be America's only hope. A novella by definition, the book deals with a world where the United States and Russia have a superhero, each acting as nuclear deterrents in an alternate timeline. If you're a fan of the tv show The Boys then I'm sure you'd love this bloody action-full superhero story. The titular hero - Cobalt Blue (which is already a character named in DC universe as a Flash villain) - doesn't do anything for 80% of the story.However, Reilly manages to pack a full-sized story into this novella, which was originally a screen play that has been converted into what is a brutal thrill-ride from the first pages, to the last. Odessa and Kazan admitted that their government's agencies have little intel on Cassie, and their intent to gift both her and Arnold's heads to their father. This was a fast read for me and I look forward to maybe a series or a kickass Netflix series as it would be perfect for the screen! To much surprise, Cobalt also became pregnant to her husband, giving birth to a young girl, Cassie, although her parents elected to keep her identity a secret from the public. The Genius laments that his father should have waited until they were ready, but concedes that at least now they know about Cassie's existence.
Matthew Reilly is the international bestselling author of eight novels: The 6 Sacred Stones, 7 Deadly Wonders, Ice Station, Temple, Contest, Area 7, Scarecrow, and the children's book Hover Car Racer, and one novella, Hell Island. 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. It's a steady rise of stakes that will have you on the edge of your seat wondering how this could possibly end well.And even when she does, the victory is all hollow because she does nothing to earn it except be walked through a funhouse of flashbacks. It’s obviously inspired by The Boys, Shazam, and a dash of Marvel (I mean, Russia’s secret weapon, America’s greatest hero? As with all stories like this, I think it is important not to start digging too deep into various details, and just enjoy the book for what it is, a really fun, enthralling action-packed superhero story. 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.
