Description

Dance teacher Wil Tango, adopted by a cat who needs to make use of his opposable thumbs, knows all too well the primary rule of their arrangement: never reveal the cat is a genius. Their clever scheme to win all the jackpots on Gizem Station works until a bigwig gets suspicious, and he finds himself stuffed in a stasis box and shipped to Garbage Planet. At least he’s got the cat for company. Sulari Abfall, scrapyard picker extraordinaire, thinks she’s scored when she earns access to the latest offload from Gizem Station. Their trash is her treasure, and the profits from her recycling program should provide more than enough to upgrade her clunky garbage scow into a clunky tow ship, a huge step up in trash hierarchy. When she’s drawn to a hazardous waste container, she finds more than she ever bargained for. A naked man. And a sentient cat. But unsealing the stasis pod sends an interspace signal back to Gizem Station—and the vengeful VIP who thought Wil was dead. It will take all the wits of a lovely garbage scow captain, a down on his luck dance instructor, and a brave orange feline to defeat a gang intent on mayhem, murder, and a galactic catnapping that could change the course of the future for the entire Obsidian Rim.

    • For Cat Loving Sci Fi Romance Readers With a Wacky Sense of Humor
When I first saw this book, I knew I had to read it. A cat. Scifi. Romance. Jody Wallace. One click. Sulari Abfall is a one-legged junk picker (with a bionic leg) and a business owner who turns junk into all sorts of containers in her box factory. Everybody needs containers, so Su has created a very successful niche market. To start the story, Su picks a container that happens to have cryosleeping man in it. As soon as she opens the box, a naked Will Tango tumbles out of the box and a talking cat name Pumpkin appears. And so, the adventure begins. The fateful meeting of Will and Su leads to a chase, a romance, a partnership and a family reunion. With a talking cat offering commentary and ‘assistance’ all along. Pumpkin is really quite remarkable. He can pop in and out of a place at any time. Just when you think you may never see him again, he appears, seemingly out of nowhere. I believe his odd talent may be based on the habits of some non-fictional cats. If you have a cat you might understand. If you have a cat and you read this book, you might understand even better! I do wish the story would have had room to offer more about Pumpkin and his background, even though it was not needed to tell the tale. The story ending does hint that there may be more story to come. Or maybe it ends here. I hope for more Jody Wallace. 🙂 Will Tango is one of the most unusual main characters I have run across in scifi romance. A former dancer and dance instructor turned gambler. He also happens to have a following of dance loving garbage collectors. You think you know somebody and, all of a sudden, they want a dance lesson. Will is being chased by casino goons (who really want Pumpkin) when he ends up on the Trash Planet. Goons become the bad guys. Garbage collectors, including Su, become the good guys. I’ve never seen that in a scifi romance either. I like the setting very much. It is perfect for this story. Catalyst takes place on a garbage planet. Yes, trash, refuse, debris, rubbish, junk. If it has been tossed out, it can be found on Trash Planet. On this world, people collect trash from the dumps and find ways to repurpose them. They are organized into unions for policing, protection and regulation. It is a system that seems to work well on a planet with no formal law enforcement. I also liked the dancer falling for the one-legged garbage collector, the cat learning a lesson, and the box factory. I know box factory sounds a bit humdrum, but read the book. You’ll get it. Catalyst is a standalone novel in the Obsidian Rim series. This is the first book I have read in the series and did not feel I needed to have read any others, so feel free to jump in with Catalyst if you are a cat loving, scifi romance reader with a wacky sense of humor. ... show more

    • Sci-fi mystery romance
I wasn’t sure what to expect but this is not just a fun read. It has great characters, a suspenseful story and intriguing and creative world building. I wanted to read more after the second book (Catapult). I loved the integrity of her main characters and the story’s conflict resolution. Each story is stand alone but I still like to read them in order. ... show more

    • What's not to love about a SFR with a hero cat.
Loved the quirky and off beat main charactors. I'd say the author must be owned by a clowder of cats, because she really understands how their furry little minds work....Even intelligent, telepathic ones. Anxious to continue the series to learn the cat's secrets. Five paws up.

    • Great writing, great story
The story is compelling and tightly written, and the humor is just my style. I am excited for book 2.

    • CATS GORDON
Okay not really but the song is stuck in my head. I love stories of cats and their pets. Add in skulduggery and science fiction and I swoon. Loved it, very accurate cattitude.

    • Searching Space For a Safe Place
Though the concept of cats in space was instantly inviting, I had my doubts about reading Catalyst. True, it's likely that having a cat in it would always make it appealing to undiscriminating cat lovers, but this book could have been a silly idea. And, it would have been a terrible idea if it were poorly written. It was a tiny bit silly, but all in good ways. And it was skillfully written. Within the first chapter, I was hooked. I haven't had so much fun reading in a while. Jody Wallace is a first rate writer. Her characters, especially Su and Wil, are immediately appealing and have a presence that makes them larger than life. And Pumpkin? He's the star, of course. I offer grateful thanks to Jody Wallace, Meankitty Publishing, and BookSirens for the opportunity to read a free advance reader's copy of this first volume of the Cat Ship series. Though I owe them nothing in return, I offer my enthusiastic endorsement of this suspenseful and humorous book. ... show more

    • Excellent new series
So far I really love the concept. Teleporting, or rather skipping, talking cats. It's both a dream and a nightmare for cat lovers. Pumpkin is definitely creating a nightmare for the humans around him. But what will he do to help the people who are in trouble for helping him? Will he share why he needs billions and billions of DIC? Will we learn why Pumpkin can do all of this neat stuff? Open the book to find out. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. ... show more
