The Catalyst

About The Catalyst:

A mad scientist fighting the laws of man and nature.
A demon-monster of mythical proportions.
A corporate conspiracy that goes back more than a century.

The Steel City is in desperate need of a hero.

When Sean Moretti’s powers manifested themselves, a lifetime of comic books taught him what to do. Already struggling to make it as a normal college student, his new found ability to sense energy in those around him didn’t make his life any easier. A hero can’t turn his back on his power, but what good is seeing if no one else believes? As his ability reveals destructive forces descending upon the city, Sean must learn to channel his power, or die trying.

Willa Weil has a secret—she comes from a long line of magicians trained to unlock the power hidden within poetry. This skill requires discipline and the Guild demands obedience. Forced to keep her gifts hidden from a world that needs them, Willa has long kept her power to herself. But when a giant covered in molten metal threatens to consume her friends, she can no longer remain on the sidelines.

History professor Elijah Branton moved to Pittsburgh for the job of a lifetime, researching the family history of one of the nation’s wealthiest and most attractive CEOs. But not everything is as it seems in the Steel City. The historian soon unearths a deadly conspiracy that threatens to unravel his world.

Can they save their city, or will they lose themselves in the process?

A superhero/urban fantasy crossover, The Catalyst is Daredevil meets The Dresden Files, a gritty and gripping superhero story for the 21st century. A tale of magic and monsters, science and secrets, The Catalyst pushes readers to consider their own path and the ethical compromises we all make—heroes and villains alike.

Editor’s Note: While not gratuitous, The Catalyst contains some strong language.

Cursed: Black Swan (A Fixer Novel) by Ryan T. McFadden

About Cursed: Black Swan (A Fixer Novel) by Ryan T. McFadden

Nathaniel is a Fixer. He specializes in the dangerous and the bizarre, in the impossible. Cursed with a destructive entity named the Dark, a malevolent force that lives within him, Nathaniel takes on jobs others won’t.

Drawn into an elaborate plan to retrieve the legendary sword Black Swan, the job goes south when it’s stolen out from underneath him. Though he has failed in his mission, the underworld still believes he has it, and soon all the players start coming for him: the Syndicate, the Crucifiers, the Legion, and bounty hunters with dreams of gold.

And from his past comes a worse problem: Jane. They had been lovers until her murder. But now she’s here, very much alive, and her appearance isn’t fate, because she’s also making a play for the sword.

Before he can truly discover Jane’s intentions, a war erupts between the underworld players, and just like that, she’s gone again. Nathaniel realizes the only way to stay alive is to find Black Swan and finish his mission. And so he begins his infiltration into the underworld.

But Black Swan isn’t just a sword – it is a key that can open doors to different realms and times, and offers virtual immortality. And everyone will kill to get it.

The Stonegate Sword by Harry James Fox

About The Stonegate Sword by Harry James Fox

This tale is about a lore-man named Donald. He has been schooled in the old writings, which are the surviving works of the 21st-century culture. From this sheltered background he is forced to learn to be a warrior. He falls in love with Rachel, then loses her when she is kidnapped by a band of mercenaries. Because her captivity was his fault, he sets out alone to search the Rocky Mountains in wintertime to try to rescue her. In the process he finds himself in the centre of a war. An invading army is on the move, and conquest is their intent.

Recent review:
A wonderfully told story of character, faith, and military action set in the future…which seems like the past!
Harry James Fox scores with a unique story that blends the past with an apocalyptic future to produce an adventure of character, faith, and military action.

The “old way” (our time as we know it) ended, and what now exists is a world of swords and shields, reminiscent of Medieval times. The Black Prophet is the ultimate evil, and the lands he controls know oppression, heavy taxation, and ruthless enforcement by the Raiders. The lands outside his reach have an easier life, but the Prophet is always trying to expand his territory.

The beginning of the story details how the lives of two dissimilar characters (Donald and Phillip) are damaged irreversibly by the Prophet. As the book follows these two lives, they eventually come together when both are fighting on the outnumbered side of good. Only solid military prowess and planning, coupled with technologies from the old way which are not fully understood, can hope to defeat the Prophet’s armies. Donald finds his love, Rachel, but she is captured by the Prophet’s minions due to his bad judgment. His heart forces him to set off alone to rescue her in the mountains of winter, in the face of an invading army.

Book is well written, and the author shows his command of the English language well. It also has an obvious Christian influence, in a way that is refreshing but not heavy-handed. It is obvious the author researched heavily into cavalry warfare from Medieval times, and the book “feels” very real. It is not a short read, but is worth the effort and sets up well for a sequel.

Charmed meets The Last Airbender

Aileen Donovan is an oceanographer with magical control over the element of water. While her normal focus is on research and fighting poachers, she’s about to go up against the stuff of legends–and that’s saying something for a supernatural.

A transport ship is missing and everyone’s eager to get their hands on the cargo. No one knows what exactly it is, but when fragments resembling coral begin to drive local residents insane, Aileen suspects a preternatural source. Whatever is at the bottom of the ocean, a power-hungry alchemist wants it, and releases a sea dragon to eat the competition–literally.

Aileen sees this as an opportunity to win the professional recognition she desires, but keeping secrets is complicated when she’s working with local Coast Guard officer Colin Benson. Her sense of love and duty will be put to the test, and when the tide washes out, it might have been better if that lost ship had stayed lost.

About The Fuller’s Apprentice by Angela Holder

Free 3/9/16 through 3/13/16

“Loved this book!!! I feel that this author is in the same class as Anne and Todd McCaffrey, Mercedes Lackey, and Tamora Pierce.” -Amazon reviewer

All Josiah wants is a little excitement. His work as an apprentice fuller is boring, and playing in the mill’s machinery isn’t that dangerous. Everything goes fine—at first.

All right, he’s lucky the wizard Elkan and his familiar, a donkey named Sar, are there to save his life. Even better, when his furious master dismisses him, Elkan offers him a job as his assistant. Josiah jumps at the chance. Traveling around Tevenar for a year, meeting all sorts of interesting people, helping the dedicated young wizard and clever donkey serve them with the Mother’s healing magic—what could be more fun?

But Josiah soon learns that while matters of life and death may be exciting, they’re seldom fun. Impulsive actions, even when taken with the best of intentions, can have devastating consequences. And some choices have the power to change the future of Tevenar forever.
