What to expect

FROM SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER & CREATOR OF #1 NETFLIX FILM INTERCEPTOR COMES THIS HEART-POUNDING ACTION NOVELLA, ALSO FEATURING TWO BONUS SHORT STORIES!

'Undeniably addictive.' FINANCIAL TIMES

****

For 35 years, the United States and Russia each had their own superhero.
Ever since an experimental space mission bestowed extraordinary powers on two individuals - a Russian military commander and an American scientist - the two nations have been locked in an uneasy truce.

But three days ago, America's hero died.
With 'Cobalt' gone, the only thing standing in Russia's way is her legacy: seven children, each possessing a fraction of her powers. 'The Fury of Russia' sets out to eliminate them all.

Now one young woman might be the world's only hope.
In the face of an overwhelming attack, an unlikely hero emerges - unassuming and anonymous Cassie Cassowitz, Cobalt's secret eighth child. Her codename... COBALT BLUE.
