Catalyst

Part time-travel and part alternate history, CATALYST is a fast paced story exploring time travel experiment gone drastically wrong. Set near the Australian Space Port at Woomera, the novel recreates the crisis of 1975 as it follows the story of a young boy thrown into the future and the team trying to bring him back before he destroys the world as we knew it. On the third launch, disaster struck. A young kid had sneaked into the facility. When they sent Cannonball into the future, the kid went too. Only Cannonball came back. A couple of hours later the mystery was solved; the boy was found pulling away from them into the future. Grant came up with the code name for the boy, 'Catalyst.' He said that a catalyst caused change, something they all readily agreed on. He went on to say that a catalyst had the unique property of creating change without being changed itself. Brent said, "Poor little blighter, at the temporal speed he is traveling, he will probably be dead in a month. That is a bit of a change."Be careful for what you wish. This is a story about 1975 and heart-lines, time travel and the fall of kings, but mainly about the elven-path.
