About Catalyst:
Set
in 2151 when genetically altered humans are illegal, a highly
publicized assassination sets off a chain of events that separates Zelia
from those she fiercely loves. Now on the run, she must align herself
with her worst enemies, only to find sanctuary in a safe house that’s
anything but safe. In this thrilling conclusion to Control, Zelia must face the dangerous, illegal legacy that her father has left her--whether she's ready or not.
Preorder Catalyst!
Lydia's thoughts the cover:
I
am thrilled with the new vision on Catalyst! They redid the paperback
to match the new Catalyst cover and I love how the books go from
metallic and cold, to sprouting with life in the sequel. It's a great
metaphor for what happens in the book and what Zelia must go through.
I've gotten a lot of compliments on the Control hardcover design, with
the test tubes and glowy blue-purple beaker. But I may actually love
these covers even more!
Praise for Control:
"Control, with its mix of legitimate science and inventive fantasy, is unforgettable for all the right reasons."
(VOYA)
"Control successfully integrates science, adventure, and romance into
one unforgettable read. [It] will keep you wanting more until the
jaw-dropping ending."
(RT Book Reviews, Top Pick)
"Control blew me away, from the depth and richness of this fascinating,
disturbing vision of the future -- and all its technologies -- to the
twists and turns and suspense that made for a thrilling ride. Zel is as
authentic a character as I've read in a very long time. Highly
recommended."
(James Dashner, New York Times bestselling author of THE MAZE RUNNER)
