Rick Papazian's Reviews > The Catalyst

Tons of action. Fluffy romance thrown about with mild sex scenes. I enjoyed the interplay between the human woman Nova Whiteside and alien Seth who were at odds concerning ethics of space exploration versus space exploitation of people and planet resources. There were areas needing editing, especially the way Reher uses the present tense vs. past. She uses the term "here" when denoting a place. It got grating. The depiction of the Union politics representing planets in the commonwealth was interesting, mirroring Earthly world politics.
I enjoyed the journey.
