The Catalysis Trilogy

This complete work is the biggest e-Book in terms of size but also vast, in cutting edge concepts that will redefine serious Science Fiction. Serious because the story has already begun in fact. Three complete and full length novels are brought together simply to make them more affordable. Essential reading for those who seriously contemplate where we are going as a species, and also who we might meet along the way.

The events you are about to read are fiction, but only because they haven't yet fully run their course. Some are still undergoing Catalysis but as you'll very quickly see, almost every facet of tomorrow was already begun somewhere, sometime. The tomorrow that we are all about to awake to is not big, it is vast and it demands real flawed people from real and diverse landscapes and cultures who will play their parts in shaping it. Because that's the way it really is.

So we begin yesterday in northern Ethiopia and tomorrow we will move effortlessly to a small city in the Arabian semi-desert. Later we will journey on to places much more but also far less familiar to see how Destiny goes about assembling our very specific version of tomorrow. On the way be prepared to confront some obstacles in the form of extremely dubious pre-conceptions that most of us don't even know exist.

As you turn each page, the current marriage of convenience between devious politics and global finance continues to evolve into a symbiotic relationship that will destroy them both if they divorce, or us if they don't. The unholy products of that union, the status quo of greed and corruption, constantly conspire to separate us from our basic human as well as civil rights. This is their essential prerequisite for us to quietly embrace our appointed destiny as both commodity and consumer, and so perpetuate their dominion.

Tomorrow is next Tuesday or Wednesday, and no further. That's when we finally realise that our children didn't ask to be born into this wickedness, and we really should try harder to fix it for them. We can clearly see public enemy number one, and number two, if we can somehow separate them, but the truth is, we may have left it too late. The fact is, Global Greed and Corruption seem to have become addicted to our subservient idolatry. So maybe the best we can do is resign ourselves to an imperfect destiny of our own lifetimes locked in further negotiations for a better future. Maybe that's the only way to guarantee any hope for our next generation.

Tomorrow, like today, will also be populated by better and lesser people than us. So it should come as no surprise to find others in these pages who are even more challenged than us and our prodigies. These unfortunates have so many enemies that they just can’t see them all. Their problem is compounded by us calling them mentally challenged while we look down on them from the height of our perfection.

To most of them, we are also enemies, and they add your name and mine to their lists of undesirables. That’s already proof of a sort that they can see or discern things better than we can. In fact, some of them see more than the human brain has yet evolved to understand, including their own destiny, which is unsurprisingly better than ours. The thing is, they don't want to wait until tomorrow. They want to claim their future now, before we destroy everything it can be made from.

While we procrastinate, an uninvited stranger seems to be the answer to all our prayers, and this would be David takes centre stage to become the penultimate ingredient in a catalytic cocktail for some really drastic change. As the adversaries size each other up, we wait expectantly for the first hammer blows to fall. But with everyone looking up, no-one seems to notice a third but surely damaged contestant, who simply has to be lost.

If Catalysis is now, then Ochre was all of our yesterdays and Imago is our tomorrow.
