Micah lives a perfectly adequate life in an orderly, predictable world, filled with government rules designed to control the people and prevent uprising ...

Until one Tuesday evening.

After a surprise encounter in a dark alley, Micah’s life begins to quickly change, and he starts to question the seemingly perfect world around him. He soon finds out no one is what they seem to be... and that includes himself.

Micah’s world is full of clones, cyborgs, super powers, mutants and advanced technology. Catalyst, and its sequels, will delight young readers everywhere and bring up the question: Are you reaching your potential?

"It only took three pages for me to be sucked into the story. This is Matti McLean’s first novel, but thanks to the wonderful writing, you would never know that it is his first ... My fingers kept flipping the pages and before I knew it, I had finished. This is a great book for parents to give to their boys (ages 10 and up) who are reluctant readers. They won’t be able to put it down!”

D.J. DeSmyter, author of Haunted

" Matti McLean has done a wonderful job creating a story that is exciting and just fun to read. It is really cool to see how Micah changes through the story. The story does leave you hanging, which makes a reader want to learn more and waiting for the next book becomes exciting. I highly recommend this book to anyone who in general wants a great read."
