Catalyst

A teen student in a high-tech military academy fights evil & corruption to save his friends in this final entry of a science fiction adventure trilogy.
You’ve achieved the impossible. You’ve broken all boundaries.
What happens when they start fighting back?
Tom Raines and his friends at the Pentagonal Spire are in Upper Company now, vying for spots in CamCo. But they soon discover troubling changes: the Spire is under new military control and cadets have suspicious neural processors, the first step in a plan with horrifying worldwide ramifications, and Tom is desperate to stop it. When the enemy comes for Tom, how much can he endure in the battle to save himself? And as the odds of success slip from his grip, is it even worth the fight?
In this exhilarating, explosive, and heartbreaking conclusion to the Insignia trilogy, Catalyst brings Tom and his intelligent, passionate, and brave young friends stunning tests and dangerous confrontations, and through to an impossible future they could never have predicted.
Praise for Catalyst
“Science fiction worthy of comparison with Asimov. Readers will be spellbound as they inhale this last chapter.” —Booklist (starred review)
“Kincaid’s trademark spectacular action sequences and affectionate banter make room for Tom’s coming-of-age without compromising what readers have come to love. An unabashedly optimistic denouement is the perfect ending for this series that’s unafraid to ask readers to grapple with big ideas—it’s the joyful flip side of Feed.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Quotes

    Hi, Ivan. I guess you’ll have noticed by now that you have absolutely no control over your space suit and you’re drifting aimlessly. I wanted to give you a decision. Just like the decisions you gave me. You could go and face trial, or you could decide not to go to trial
