Catalyst by S.J. Kincaid
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The final book in this trilogy was bloody and disturbing. And it taught some questionable ethics. But I will say that it was exciting and had a satisfying James Bond-esque ending of the villain.
I did mostly skip the part that’s in space, because it was boring. I basically just skimmed it for any important developments. There was one major development, and it could have been condensed into a couple of pages instead of all.those.pages. If you’ve read it, you know what I’m talking about.
But happily, still no swearing or sex. That is rare and commendable.

Update: I re-read this yesterday. It was just as good as I remembered it. Now I’m determined to read the whole trilogy, since I somehow forgot to get #2 after I read this 5 years ago.


I liked this YA sci-fi thriller a lot. It reminded me of Ernest Cline's Armada at the beginning, but quickly took on shades of Ender's Game. I am going to look into the next in the trilogy. No swearing or sex, so I can recommend fully!
