I do NOT accept anything for a good review. I am an Prime Member and it is important to always be objective and honest to all members.Anyway, I read a tremendous amount of books when not remodeling homes. In fact, seven in the last two weeks, all by different authors and all different types of fiction and writing styles.When I first started reading Catalyst, I did know that this was a sequel so my interests were focused on how the author would bring immediate recall of characters and events; and then take me into his new sequel journey. To my surprise this novel gripped my interests immediately and became a quick page turner. The details in this book are amazing. It was like reading a James Rollins novel. Being retired military and having many interesting experiences I found Michael's details to be extremely accurate and nerve tingling. I kept thinking, WOW, this is unbelievable. The flow is fantastic. You get hooked, then intrigued as details unfold and then real emotional on several occasions. And finally, Michael brings it all together with some more breath taking moments that brings the reader happiness and wanting more. You get to enjoy the moments of parachuting out a plane. To feeling what a needed miracle would be like. To what it would be like to bring primates home to their natural habitat and not some zoo. And, you get that adrenaline rush of what a Special Forces Soldier feels on a mission of unknowns.What makes this Michael's best work is how mature his writing has evolved. Yes, he has written other great books, but this is his best work. This novel shows writing skills exhibited by many bestselling authors. His researches, his details, his ability to keep readers intrigued are but a few of what Michael has evolved into. No staff; Just lots of hard hours of work by one individual. One new author, I hope many will embrace and help launch as our next bestselling author. Thank you. Tony0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. The Adventure ContinuesBy Reader4LifeCatalyst is the third book in the Breakthrough series by Michael C. Grumley. It continues following a small group of marine biologists and navy investigators who discover a vault designed to preserve seeds and embryos in the event of a global catastrophe. Only it's old. Really old. And it's not ours.This series is the best of this genre that I have read in a long time and highly addictive! Catalyst builds on Breakthrough and Leap, the first two books in the series, and is thoroughly enjoyable. So much so once I started reading, I couldn't put the book down! If you're a fan of Clive Cussler's or James Rollins' books, you are so gonna love this series!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Things get a bit nasty for our heroes...By PolkaDotI enjoyed this book, even though the story line is "out there" more than the first two books in the series. I just suspended my disbelief and went along with the plot. There was more violence in this book, which I didn't really like, but that didn't stop me from finding out how (or if) the two former SEAL's were going to get out of their predicaments. I have come to enjoy the characters (human and mammal) and enjoy their successes and feel bad for their failures. If you enjoy action and adventure, with a good dose of sci fi, I think you will enjoy this book.
