Booklist (starred review)Kincaid's Insignia series has proven science fiction worthy of comparison with Asimov. Readers will be spellbound as they inhale this last chapter.

Catalyst is charged with both the thrilling energy of a good science fiction story and a creeping sense of paranoia. Highlighting the shrinking gap between powerful technology and human security, the book is oddly reminiscent of the modern clash between freedom and automated security. Kincaid's world—in which teenaged cadets have cyborg minds, authorities rob memories, and a new kind of science-fiction corporate greed reigns—is one worth visiting.
