Zev Paiss weaves a mesmerizing tale in Catapult, blending near-future tech with far-reaching ambition. I was hooked by the dual timelines and strong female leads, Danielle in 2025 and the mysterious governor in 2065. If you love thoughtful sci-fi that’s grounded in hope and resilience, this one’s for you.
