Product Information

million is the price for each of their heads. It’s without question the greatest bounty hunt in history. However, the only hints to locating this Machine are hidden within the mythical Six Sacred Stones which are scattered around the planet.

In the post-novel interview, Reilly revealed that he had begun writing Cobalt Blue as a screenplay, before expanding the story into the current, novel version. The screenplay version of the story was said to contain less scenes, such as the cruise liner incident and the scene with the Vice President at LAX. Reilly maintains that he'd like to direct a film adaption of it at some point. Among the targets on the hit list is a mysterious Marine named Shane Schofield, call-sign: Scarecrow. Cobalt White does not have a dedicated coloured text section, instead sharing the same purple text as her twin, Cobalt Purple, likely due to the difficulties of using white text. The amount of sexual violence - both real and threatened- in this book (which is really a novella) is extremely off-putting. The fact that it is being marketed as YA even more so. I hated this book because of it, and the fact that it didn't even need to be part of the plot is infuriating. Coupled with his utter grit and determination, the advice brings Jason within touching distance of victory over his nemesis, Xavier Xonora, at the International Racing School's Sponsors' Tournament.

Cobalt Blue

For anyone familiar with Matthew Reilly’s novels, it may not be too surprising to learn that he has moved into action films with his directing debut of Interceptor, made for Netflix. Reilly’s novels read like fast-paced, high-octane-fuelled adventures, set in exotic locations and involving high profile, high-stakes players, all of which feels like it has been written with the possibility of selling film rights in mind. For this reason, it should also come as no surprise that Cobalt Blue was developed from a screenplay Reilly had been working on. Cobalt Blue is set in an alternate reality in which – much like many Hollywood films and television shows now – superheroes are real. Superheroes have become part of the zeitgeist of the modern world, and it’s not hard to understand why. As super enhanced humans, superheroes lead lives of emotional extremes: their stakes and the dilemmas they face are also super enhanced. They are us writ large and they may reflect our current political and ethical challenges in the stories produced about them. Not boring nor exciting for me. I didn’t really like the type of genre but every chapter had a cliffhanger so that made me read the whole book. The author also added a gay character, which I liked but I definitely thought it wasn’t necessary. She is a most unique secretary and she will work for many bosses - from shrewd businessmen to vile Nazis, to the greatest boss of them all, Mr Albert Einstein...

Now he faces one last race - against multiple rivals, against time, against the collapse of the universe itself - a headlong race that will end at a throne inside the fabled labyrinth. Reilly graduated from St Aloysius' College in Milsons Point, Sydney before pursuing a Law degree at the University of New South Wales. Since Seven Ancient Wonders in 2005, Matthew's novels have been the biggest selling new fiction title released in Australia for that year.Following rejections from all the major publishers, Matthew self-published Contest in 1996, printing 1000 copies. He produced a big-budget-looking novel which he sold into bookshops throughout Sydney, one shop at a time. Pains me to say that this wasn't great. Matthew Reilly will always be a champion for fun action, but this was just not it.

The whole thing is laughable, and I admit, it was probably made even more laughable in audiobook format. The narrator did a decent job, even though the Russian accents were a bit much - but hearing the cringey, ridiculous plot read aloud was embarrassing. It was a mess that I just couldn’t stop listening to, so yeah, it probably did it’s job, but lets be real - it’s full of needless deaths that could have been avoided if these supposedly great superheroes uhh… ACTUALLY WORKED TOGETHER?! Why was that never an option???? To survive, he will have to face and defeat unspoken horrors. Failure is not an option, for the fate of the world depends on it. Not just stupid, but actual terrible writing that I can’t believe got past the multiple steps of editing. However, to Professor William Race—an American linguist working with the U.S. Army to decrypt ancient manuscript and find its precise location—the legendary Incan idol is the biggest symbol of the apocalypse, being that it can be used to create a devastating new weapon. From racist gangs in Berlin to gangsters in New York City, Nazis in the 1930s and Hitler's inner circle during the Second World War, Hanna will encounter some of history's greatest minds and most terrible moments, all while desperately trying to stay alive.This is the fourth of Reilly's novels to feature a main female protagonist, following Bess in The Tournament, CJ Cameron in The Great Zoo of China, and Skye Rogers in The Secret Runners of New York. Looking for the Cobalt Blue book release date? If you’re a fan of Matthew Reilly or just discovered Matthew Reilly books, you’ve come to the right place. Full of action, this is a super hero story with a twist. For 35 years, both the USA and Russia had their own superhero. Then, the American died. And it all went bad. As these children grew up, it became clear that all of these offspring had only half of the strength of their respective superhuman parents. While the Fury's sons were conscripted into the military, Cobalt raised all of hers with her husband (albeit under constant guard) and had them attend public schools. Upon reaching adulthood, the eldest seven were allowed to choose their futures and places of residence, with most becoming heroes to their adopted cities. Cassie, meanwhile, preferred to remain anonymous to the public. The problem with this? Cobalt Blue was much older than Fury when she got superpowers, which unfortunately don’t stop aging and heart failure. So one day after Cobalt’s death, the Fury of Russia comes to America to kill her offspring and wipe out the country.
