“Andrea Goyan has created an ambitious, compelling world where gaming culture, biotechnology, and fractured identity collide. The Catalyst is a fast-paced near-future thriller with a disturbingly believable premise that raises unsettling questions about human enhancement. It delivers exactly what good near-future science fiction should—a compelling speculative premise, escalating psychological tension, and a genuine sense that the world of the novel may only be a few years away.”

Will McIntos, Hugo Award-Winning Author

“The Catalyst is a gripping tale of technology gone amok. The fate of the world depends on the knowledge and strength of Kat Crocker. Goyan is at the top of her game with this Sci-Fi thriller.”

Cindy O’Quinn, Bram Stoker Award winning Author

“Andrea Goyan has created a world so compelling, so intriguing, and so fascinating,  you’ll be hungering for a sequel as soon as you’ve finished reading. I know I am.“

Adrienne Barbeau, Actress and Author

“In Andrea Goyan’s thrilling science fiction novel, The Catalyst, DNA is no longer the secret blueprint of self, it’s a trap waiting to spring. Kat Crocker, daughter of a geneticist, has inherited both his paranoia and his genius. She scrubs her bike before every job and still can’t outrun the fact that someone powerful wants exactly what runs in her blood.

Part noir, part horror, part near-future nightmare, The Catalyst asks the question that keep evolutionary biologists and civil liberties lawyers up at night: Who owns your genome? Goyan writes with a detective’s attention to details, a scientist’s unease and an artist’s eye. Highly recommended.”

E.E. King, Author, Performer, Artist, and Naturalist

“The Catalyst is a wonderful and compelling exploration of the nature of humanity and selfhood that will ensnare you in its thrilling mysteries.”
