Catalyst

by John Evans

Set in the heavily industrialized Houston Ship Channel, Catalyst is the story of Kevin Phenix, a young engineer, who faces the most important decisions of his life after an explosion and fire kills three co-workers and tears his world apart. In the aftermath of the explosion, Kevin must come to terms with his inability to save those who died, and more importantly, to deal with the greed of a corporate structure whose policies and actions not only allowed the accident, but likely caused it. Catalyst is a story about finding the important things in our live and explores fundamental questions that we all must questions about our character, our actions, and how those actions shape our future.
