The Omicron Six #1
The Omicron Six
"Cooper stretched his arm over on top of Coupe to quiet him and hold him down. He then reached into Coupe's mind and urged him to sleep, told him to sleep, that he was safe and could sleep the night through without worrying about those . . . things that came to him. Coupe's thrashing began to subside. He did not scream at all. He returned to a peaceful sleep."
Cooper Callister cannot speak. Coupe Daschelete is the victim of horrible abuse. No one would expect them to possess superhuman powers. But they do. When a fight in the woods forces them to reveal themselves to each other, they start a journey together that leads them to discover power they never expected, power they were never intended to have. To unlock those powers and fully understand them, they must follow a difficult and dangerous path of self-discovery and self-revelation. Cooper is forced to face the isolation of his silence. Coupe must confront the demons that haunt his dreams, planted there by those who have abused him and broken his mind. Alone they could not do it. Only together do they have the strength to conquer their challenges.
The threats they confront force them once again to evolve into something new, this time to face a new enemy with deadly intent. But is the world ready to accept what they have become?

ReRead 2023
This book was one of the biggest surprises for me in 2021 and since then I was waiting for the second book in this series. After the second book ‘Blood for the Fisher King’ was finally released, I knew I had to reread the first one to completely get into the story.
Rereading this I fell in love with Cooper and Coupe again. They have such a great and pure friendship and love for each other, they really are like brothers and this book highlights that in so many different ways.
I think the concept and story of this book is really great. I like the idea about their powers and the world they live in and how they tackle the challenges they face together.
In my opinion this is one of the most underrated books ever and I hope more people find and read it.

Can I just say how much I adore this book?! Reading it was so much fun and I can’t believe how lucky I am that I was able to experience this beautiful story and friendship.
Cooper and Coupe, two very special boys with very different upbringings, are amazing! In the first half we get to know them both and their special talents, they fast form a very strong friendship and protect each other from the world and their different struggles with it. The second half we learn more about the world they both live in, the circumstances around their powers and in total what it means to be human.
It took a few pages for me to get used to the writing, but the story and the characters were so hooking I just couldn’t put it down.
There is a small teaser for a second book and honestly, I can’t wait. This is one of the best books I read this year!

Probably intended for teenagers, but it is sufficiently well-written that that age group should not be its only audience. Part of the purpose of the book is to present the plot in a way the reader has to work out what is going on, so I cannot say any more than to note it is about two boys, Coupe and Cooper. Cooper has telepathic abilities, but not very well controlled and he is plagued by continual floods of stuff coming into his head from outside. Coupe has had the worst start to life possible, abusive drunken drug-ridden parents, and his refuge in a church introduces him to a paedophilic priest. It turns out that each boy can help the other. It becomes apparent they are special, but how?
It is well-written, it proceeds logically, the events manage suspense without going over the top. The descriptions have just the right amount of detail, and the boys’ characters are boyish without being condescending. Over all, really well done

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I purchased it because it was written by a collage classmate, and I wanted to help him with ratings, but also was interested to find out what he would write about. I was immediately drawn in in a fashion similar to starting a new Stephen King novel, with a comfortable style of writing, pace, and character development. I began to love the characters, but soon began to think things were just a bit rosy, and then began the twists and turns. There is a bit of everything I like in this novel. There is lightness and darkness, good and evil, humor and stark, ugly reality. There is some science and some science fiction. Unexpectedly, there are thought-provoking views into the ethics of science and societal institutions. This novel is certainly worth a read. The more I think back about it, the more I appreciate it. I will likely read it again, which is a rare plan and behavior for me.

Endy Wright’s “The Omicron 6” stars two incredibly special 14-year-old boys: Cooper Callister and Coupe Daschelete. One day during recess, Coupe saves Cooper from being beaten up by the class bully, and the lives of both boys are irrevocably changed. Discovering that they each seem to possess some sort of strange, superhuman abilities, they quickly form a bond that goes even beyond brotherhood. When teens and young adults around the country start disappearing, however, and they learn that the culprit is some kind of doppleganger of Coupe’s, things start to go awry. They find themselves forcefully uprooted from their home and transported to a clandestine facility up north, where they meet a mysterious, slightly shady Dr. Stein and four other teens who seem to also have special abilities. When danger strikes and lives are at stake, the boys will need to band together tighter than ever and realize their true capabilities in order to keep everyone safe. Overall, however, they will need to start considering how the environments they were exposed to impacted their developments, and how that development will need to play into their new roles as part of a scientific endeavor to strengthen the human race.
“The Omicron 6” is a unique, twisty take on the ever-present question in today’s science fiction: What would it mean if we were to start producing genetically engineered, modified children to have specific abilities in the hopes that they will transform the human race into something more profound and long-lasting? In particular, Endy Wright emphasizes the importance of preserving ethics during scientific experiments, even if it means the experiment itself might not be as successful or groundbreaking. In this story, we are introduced to a couple of young protagonists who had very different childhoods. One had a traditional, happy and loving American childhood in a home with two loving parents, enough food on the table, and with a solid roof overhead. The other, however, faced hunger, neglect and abuse of the worst kind. Later on, readers learn that these environments were picked specifically for each boy based on the desired outcome of a grandiose scientific experiment. Afterward, they are repeatedly forced to consider whether science can ever be a true justification for putting another human, especially a scared, young child, in a negative, potentially dangerous living situation.
“The Omicron 6” sucked me in right from the beginning. I thought it was a nice deviation from some of the more typical teen literature of the modern age. While I love a good ole’ rom-com and admit that I am a sucker for a good vampire story, it is always refreshing to come across books by new authors that just make you think about things from an entirely new perspective. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started the story, whether it would be more of a suspense thriller or more science fiction, but Wright’s book is a nice blend of both. The short chapters and quick pace of the book make the pages fly by, especially once Part 2 is reached and the action really starts to pick up. The variety of characters and superhuman abilities introduced in the story also emphasized an idea that as science evolves and humans continue to adapt to their surroundings, we may be capable of more than we could ever imagine, if only we could have a little help to make sure we had the right composition of DNA.
I would recommend “The Omicron 6” to teen readers aged 14 and up. There are some images and scenes that are graphic or that may be disturbing to younger readers, such as those concerning Coupe’s childhood traumas. I think this book also has a great opportunity to reach teen boys. It seems like a lot of traditional Young Adult literature is inadvertently marketed and skewed toward feminine audiences, and I think that this has a big impact on why it seemed like it was always more common to see my female classmates get sucked into books and fandoms compared to my male classmates. We want to encourage kids and teenagers to enjoy reading, because it will help them understand the world better and also take them on journeys they could never have imagined. This book could definitely have a bright future in helping to accomplish this, and in my opinion is reminiscent of books such as the Maximum Ride series. I am definitely excited to see what happens in the second book!

An Engaging Novel, Start to Finish
Parts One and Two of this engaging, complex novel could not be more different. Together, they form a seamless narrative about what it is to be human—or slightly more than. Endy Wright unfolds the story of two unlikely friends and allies coming into their own. His prose is a joy to read. Although a sequel is forthcoming, this novel is a satisfying read as a stand-alone. Its characters are believable, consistently drawn, and the two parts of the book, though radically different in setting and subject matter, are consistent in tone and style.
Part One introduces the reader to two young teenage boys, Cooper and Coupe, who become friends linked by the qualities that set them apart from their peers and classmates. Cooper is a big boy, physically strong, but functionally nonverbal, especially at school. His parents are loving and encouraging, ever hopeful that their son will share his words with the world outside their small New England farm, where Cooper occasionally allows himself to speak. Cooper’s silence at school causes him to stand out, and it makes him irresistible to bullies.
Coupe, Cooper’s eight grade classmate, is a bright, under-appreciated, malnourished kid whose negligent mom lives above the derelict bar at which she works. Coupe is a survivor, but his single set of clothing and his frequent bruises set him apart just as Cooper’s silence does, making him, too, an easy and convenient target for bullies. The two boys band together against their tormentors, both of them revealing in the course of doing so that there is more to them that meets the eye.
Part Two of the novel is the story of how these two boys came to be as they are, larger than the sum of their parts, greater than their respective pasts, and stronger for their shared experiences. The cast of characters increases quite a lot in Part Two. Cooper and Coupe are thrown into a world they never knew existed, but one that goes far in explaining how they are and what they can do.
I recommend this novel without reservation. Any reader whose interest includes character study will enjoy reading The Omicron Six. So too will readers who like adventure, sci fi, and suspense. There are descriptions of child abuse, including sexual assault, in this novel; they are central to the development of the story and are skillfully written. Overall, Endy Wright has told an impressive and emotionally-packed tale of survival and friendship that is certain to stay with readers long past the turning of the last page.

The Omicron Six by Endy Wright is a book of fantasy genre filled with drama, suspense thrill and twists with two teenager boys possessing superhuman powers as the lead character.
Cooper and Coupe two completely different boys, study in the same class. Cooper is nonverbal and everyone around him presses him to speak. Coupe doesn't like attention and always seats at the back of class. One day a class bully holds up Cooper beating him and is saved by Coupe and after that they both form a bond stronger than that of brother's. Cooper can reach and read everyone's mind while Coupe is super fast and inhuman hearing powers. They both in some ways help each other dealing with their problems. And when everything was going well, a strange case pops up where the teenagers are vanishing and the main culprit, somehow looks like Coupe and now, police and some more people are behind him. Who is that boy and why is he kidnapping teenagers and is he related to Coupe in anyways is all answers in the story.
When I started reading this book I taught that I will read it for just 1 hour and get back to do my other works but when I realized I had read it for straight 4 hours. The book is full of twists and turns and it's fast paced story keeps you holding it. The author did a fantastic job at character development and revealing the dark side of society. You will be loving Cooper and Coupe and their bond and feel attached to them and will go on a emotional roller coaster with them. The witty replies of Coupe works as comic relief in the story, which never let you feel that the story is getting very serious.
The book is a great read for every reader as it has all the elements that a reader wants in a story and my personal recommendation is that everyone should read this book.

The Omicron Six penned by the author Endy Wright is a gripping story that has the power to hook the readers till the last page. Story features Cooper Callister, a bright kid who is non verbal. Another character of importance is Coupe Daschelete. Coupe is a poor kid. He is not special for his teachers and he prefers to stay ignored with B grade. Coupe has faced much abuse early in his life. That's why he don't prefer going to home always from school.
At school, Coupe felt that Cooper is looking at him, not with his eyes though. Both Coupe and Cooper have superhuman powers. At school, Coupe was referred to as Single for a reason that you should find yourself while reading this book. Soon, Coupe and Cooper developed a friendship and Cooper can even talk. He just don't talk at school. Grab a copy of this book and find out more about Coupe and Cooper, their origin, etc.
This is a captivating story. I couldn't put it down until I finished it. Cover photo of the book looks nice. The 2 main characters Coupe and Cooper are interesting. Plot of the story is well written and I enjoyed it a lot. Narration is smooth and strong. Pace of the story is fast and I didn't feel bored anytime while reading this story. I am excited to read next book by the author.

My favourite adventure with a novel so far this year. I loved it to bits. Its mesmerising power is all in the vitality and hightide imaginative reach of its story and the compelling moving humanity of its two main characters, Cooper Callister and Coupe Daschelete.
It is straightforward storytelling at its most magical and engrossing – the plot frequently twisting with fresh surges of adrenalin. The friendship between Cooper and Coupe is a joy to read from start to finish, one of the most moving accounts of synergistic liberating companionship I’ve ever read.
It's basically flawless--very concerned with having all sentences that make it up into wondrous, unique gems. Every sentence is constructed with care & CRAFT.
This is one of those novels when you sense that half the trick of writing a rich compelling novel is for the author to feel a consuming love for his characters and get to the heart of them. Endy clearly loves his characters and this love is highly contagious. If you haven’t already read it, give it a try. It’s heartwarming and exciting and magical and utterly engrossing.

There has been time in each of our lives where we faced demons of the world and of ourselves and the only way to survive was through and we all conquered the part of our journey. This story may sound familiar or relatable to few who had to go through the similar things like the boys in the book did.
The story revolves around Coupe and Cooper and both had their fair share of tough times in their life including child abuse and getting bullied. Skip the sexual assault part if it triggers you. Both eventually decided to get together to fight off the evil of the world and they get on the journey. This story gets interesting with the introduction of DNA manipulation and genetic engineering, in short all the scientific things.
This is a super hero story where the boys conquered it all by embracing their true self. The author did a commendable job with the plot and the characters. Both the main characters went through impeccable development in the whole story. I loved the writing style and the message that the author tried to convey from the story.

This is an interesting concept, not unique, but something to get in to. The characters are likeable, and the pace reasonable. The book explores some quite difficult issues and for me crosses into the realm of adult rather than young adult. However, for me the story was let down by an element of naivety and a somewhat lacking writing style. It seems not exactly immature, but it felt naive and underdeveloped. This resulted in me not really being able to get behind any of the characters. I sometimes felt for Coupe but I wasn't invested in him. The characters also felt shallow, and again this is in part due to the writing style. For example when the boys leave home, they kind of seem to forget about their family and just accept the world and people around them. Coupe reveals all and yet Coopers powers never seem to develop past shoes which makes it feel a little childish.
This isn't a bad book, it just feels incomplete. I'm not sure I'd read the follow up. For me the writing style needs to be developed to keep the reader engaged and the characters realistic.

This is clearly an origin story. The first part gives us the deep history of the two main characters and how they come together and form a lasting bond. It is a union that completes each of them. They become brothers, each fixing the broken pieces in the other. Part one prepares them for the ordeals in part two.
Part two takes them to a place where they discover both their past and potentially their future. The Deep Woods Academy is a bit reminiscent of “The Umbrella Academy.” Special children, brought together for special instruction. Each have unique abilities, and the Doctor means to be sure they are properly trained in their use.
But this story is warmer than “The Umbrella Academy” I truly liked and cared about the protagonists. I was concerned when they were in danger, felt their pain and shared their joy. Author Wright’s true talent is immersing the reader in the story and making us feel as though we were there and part of it.
There is a sequel currently in the works, but this really has potential to be a series with many stories to follow.

I hope a sequel!
The Omicron Six by Endy Wright is a blend of mystery, sci-fi and adventure. It tells the story of two very singular teenagers who have suffered many things since their childhood. But these situations made them special boys although they still don't know it. Coupe y Cooper have superhuman powers that need to be free and, to get it, they must join and fight together with things that they cannot even imagine.
I like when a story doesn't limit to only one genre, but uses elements of various of them to create a
great story. It is really well written and the plot is interesting with unexpected twists and turns. I enjoyed each chapter and I felt part of the story. It is one of those books that you hope to know more about. I hope the author publish a sequel.

This book has incredible character chemistry and shows the bond between two very different individuals. It is interesting to see how the author unfolds the plot and showcases each of their powers. Cooper and Coupe are relatable characters due to their outstanding strengths and human weaknesses. When both protagonists come together, they are able to support and uplift each other. They bond as brothers and look out for each other. It is truly touching and also fascinating how combined brotherhood makes them stronger and better. I also think it is great that the authors add humour to the writing. The writing style and characterization is a breath of fresh air. The plot is engaging and as a reader, I felt fully invested in the storyline.

The Omicron Six is a full of great details piece that I enjoyed a lot. If I had to explain only one reason, I couldn’t do it. I loved this masterpiece on several levels. First of all, the setting and time are different from the standard and I think this gave the book a special turn.
Secondly, the plot is more than interesting and well thought. It tells the story of two boys who discover they have superhuman powers.
Finally, it contains a fantastic characterization. Cooper and Coupe are the perfect blend of personalities. I fell in love immediately with these two.
My only complaint is that it is a very long masterpiece. In my humble opinion, a shorter book would have been more interesting. Anyway, I couldn’t put it down since it is more than captivating.

October 28, 2021This is a story of self-discovery and self-revelation. The main characters, gifted with superhuman powers, are forced to learn to control them and understand how they work. Dark thoughts interfere while coping with the new challenges. Author Endy Wright has created Cooper Callister and Coupe Daschelet, two realistic characters who have made me go through different emotions as they go through their daunting path. This is Wright’s first novel and I hope it is not the last one as he has created a captivating and interesting story. He has done a great job in depicting the suitable atmosphere for each scene, not to mention the engaging writing style he has adopted.

‘The Omicron Six’ by Endy Wright starts off with descriptions of Coupe and Cooper, two eighth graders who have been cast aside for their differences. Cooper is non-verbal and Coupe has a hard home life and is not very social. After an incident in the woods with a bully, it becomes clear that they have special powers. The two boys form an unlikely bond through their different but shared paths. Together they must confront bigger issues and the powers that they have. It’s a very unique book that is well-developed and well-written. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. It brings many issues to the forefront and leaves the reader fully immersed in the story. Highly recommend!

An enthralling tale of two lives
It was an enthralling tale of two people meeting and finding out they each have superpowers of a sort. This story kept me wanting more. Coupe and Cooper are well-written and likable. More importantly, they are relatable in some way. They have to struggle with their own issues to really get a handle on their powers. The attention to detail in the scenes and the storyline overall has me impatient for another book. The lives of these boys and the differences bring their relationship into sharp relief. The world is one I would like to visit. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and I am eager for the next one!

A fantasy for teens
“The Omicron Six” is an innovative book that brings religion, metaphysics, science fiction and fantasy closer to teenagers and young adults.
The author, who is called Endy Wright, created an interesting and submerging text that made me feel absorbed, emancipated from all problems for the time I was reading. His writing is natural, easy to follow but mind challenging at the same time.
This book is written to entertain people from thirteen years old onwards. It is my personal belief that children that age might be too young for this reader, but I do recommend it for teenagers around fifteen or sixteen years old. I give it four stars!

Endy Wright, the gifted author of this religious science fiction and fantasy tale exposes us to two teenage boys whose lives are similar, in such a way they are able to create a long-lasting friendship loaded with difficulties, more than with happy moments. Plenty of twists and turns make up the storyline.
Cooper and Coupe, the two main characters, have been smoothly developed. Every one of them has
the role of taking care of the other and it was exciting to see them in action.
The book is divided in two parts, being the first one the one which makes readers sympathize with the two friends. I award this book well-deserved 5 out of 5 stars. Loved it!

Fair warning, there is a lot of abuse of one character right out the gate. This proves to be important towards the characters development later on, how he combined with his friend Cooper battle their insecurities and struggle to harness these powers that develop. A contemporary take on superheroes and how DNA manipulation can affect the human body in mysterious ways. I liked the book in that there is a clear growth for both the boys individually and together. While I don’t like darker stories of abuse and neglect, I see how the author wove this into the plot to really bring it along.

"The Omicron Six" is an excellent science fiction story written by Endy Wright. In this story, the author presents us with a book like no other. The protagonists of this story are Cooper Callister and Coupe Daschelete; each of them fighting their battles, but knowing that together they are invincible.
A super entertaining and exciting read. The author achieved a climate that demands readers to be at the edge of their seat all the time. The aesthetics of the book is also something that I want to highlight because I loved it. I hope to read more books like this one. I highly recommend it.

This is an exciting adventure and a great read for middle school, high school and older. There is excellent character development where the characters were very relatable, including their flaws. So many exciting and unpredictable plot twists keeps the reader turning pages. A very good story to escape in and enjoy. Can’t wait to read the sequel.

While I thought it started off like a good, well-written, but fairly typical YA book, it develops with many unexpected twists and turns. Thoroughly readable and enjoyable. I highly recommend it and am very much looking forward to Part II. Congratulations to the author.
