When billionaire Max Fend and his hacker girlfriend Renee LeFrancois are enlisted by the FBI and CIA to search for a cobalt deposit in rural Pennsylvania, they're plunged into a race against time and international forces. Cobalt, the precious metal powering lithium-ion batteries, has the tech world scrambling for control, and the discovery of a new source ignites a frenzy. But as domestic and international stakeholders mobilize, the local community finds itself caught in the crossfire.

With secrets unraveling and danger mounting, Max and Renee must risk it all to protect a community and their nation from unbridled greed. 
 
 
 
In Cobalt, the quest for power and control collides with the will to protect, resulting in a thrilling, explosive showdown.
