Catalyst
"An intense, high-energy, what-lurks-in-the-shadows tale of monster, both men and otherwise. Steve Diamond can make you shiver." - Terry Brooks, New York Times bestselling author of the Shannara Chronicles
" A Race Against Time to Save a World Unraveled"
In a world on the brink of annihilation, Jack Bishop's absence has been a haunting mystery. Imprisoned and subjected to sinister experiments, he battles to survive while the very world teeters on the precipice of its own destruction.
Enter Alex, determined to rescue Jack from the clutches of the nefarious Helix organization. Time is running out as the experiments threaten Jack's very existence, and the world hurtles toward an apocalyptic demise.
But Jack isn't just a captive; he's a catalyst for salvation. With a daring plan that could change the course of humanity's fate, he's willing to stake his life on a desperate escape from a group of genetically altered trackers, who are more monstrous than they are human.
"Catalyst" is a pulse-pounding race against time, where hope and survival hang in the balance. Join Jack and Alex on a heart-pounding journey to save a world unraveling at the seams, where courage, sacrifice, and ingenuity are their only weapons against the abyss. Will they prevail, or will darkness consume all? Find out in this high-octane thriller.

- Robert McCammon, New York Times bestselling author of Swan Song and Boy’s Life
"Residue will scare you-that's its primary goal-but along the way it will touch you, shock you, make you laugh, make you cheer, and make you think. Horror has been waiting for Steve Diamond."
- Dan Wells, New York Times bestselling author of the John Cleaver Series and the Partials Sequence

I liked it as an ending to this series. I'd even say it's the strongest book in the trilogy. I think we got some really good character development and interaction. I liked how it ended, unlike the (so far) only other review showing here right now. I'm not saying I don't see the other reviewer's point, but this ending suits my preferences better than the alternative likely would have. If you're really into hardcore horror, you might not like it; I'm not much of a horror reader, so I liked the ending. Though I do wish we'd gotten a bit more of a denouement.

Great Series
The series was great! Steve Diamond you did a fantastic job! Totally immersed in the book. Loved the paranormal mixed with in my opinion superheroes / elements of horror & mystery. I would never had thought that would have fused so well together, but it was an incredible read. Well done!

Good and disappointing
So it’s not that I didn’t like the book it just seems way too easy, like a marvel movie. Impossible situation … time travel and just undoing everything. I still liked the book but I thought the end was just too easy.
