Summary

Luke Cage plays detective and super hero when he uncovers a conspiracy turning vulnerable Americans into unwitting pawns of a madman.

New York Times bestselling author S. A. Cosby (King of Ashes) writes an original crime novel starring Harlem's unbreakable hero for the Marvel Crime thriller series for adult audiences.

With advanced cybernetics showing up in the possession of low-level criminals, Luke Cage is hired to investigate a factory manufacturing medical devices in rural Virginia. Leaving Jessica Jones during a delicate moment in their relationship, he makes plans to travel south but is devastated to learn that a cousin who scoped out the plant for him has been found dead. The police report states it was an accident. But Luke has long known that official words are just that: words.

Fueled by guilt and vengeance, Luke arrives in Virginia and promises his aunt he'll get to the bottom of things. But danger lurks in every living room, barroom, and country road of Majestic, and the local sheriff's barely concealed prejudices are ready to boil to the surface. Even ordinary people seem to have no qualms about testing their might against the hero from New York City.

As Luke uncovers a conspiracy reaching to the county line and beyond, a persistent evil begins to take hold of the town, leaving Luke to hope that his unbreakable skin will protect him long enough to protect others and bring an end to the hate threatening to engulf the nation.

Truth to Power continues the Marvel Crime series that began with Lisa Jewell's Breaking the Dark and Alex Segura's Enemy of My Enemy. Bringing fans into a grittier, street-level side of the Marvel Universe, Marvel Crime novels build on one another but can be enjoyed as stand-alone works and will thrill even those new to the Marvel Universe.

I really enjoy the marvel crime books. They are dark, gritty and well written. This one is no exception. It took me a while to adjust to the narrator’s voice which is very husky and narrated as Luke Cage. Once I got past chapter 10 I was hooked.

Luke Cage is a long standing marvel super hero given his next adventure by Cosby, it’s the first time I’ve come across him, so I have no idea how authentic to the original this hero for hire is.

It keeps Cosby’s dark street grittiness, it’s basically a crime thriller with a PI investigator who has super hero abilities, which the author managed to sell to me which isn’t easy as I’m not a super hero fan.
It’s very entertaining, I just loved Luke’s character. He’s tough, street smart, practically indestructible and has a great moral code, and tight family values. It’s a shorter novel at 8hrs, he packs it with action and thrills. He has such a distinctive writing style, which is a combination of street with prose that has a literary fiction feel.

I would never have bought this book if I had known it was a Marvel Universe story. SA Cosby has written some great, gritty and well written novels. Compared to Blacktop Wasteland, for example, Truth to Power is risible. Shame. I can no longer trust Cosby to produce finely crafted, gritty US novels any more.

Terrible. Are all marvel based stories so rubbish?
