For centuries, the kingdom of Alexandria has protected Northern Shala from the monstrous creatures lurking in the Wastelands. Now, a dark force threatens that fragile peace.
Far from home, Alexandria’s princess is abducted. When a young villager named Hellsfire stumbles upon her and her captors, he rushes in to rescue her, alone and unarmed. His fear and fury unleash an uncontrollable magical force that grants him the power to save the princess—and change the world.
Hellsfire has never craved nor dreamed of power. But such magic as he now possesses has not been seen in Northern Shala for a thousand years, since the devastation of the War of the Wizards and the creation of the Wastelands.
Now Hellsfire must leave all he’s ever known, and make a dangerous journey to learn to master this wild, ferocious power—power he knows he is not ready to wield. More difficult still, he needs to master his emotions. If he can’t, the power will consume him, Alexandria will fall, and darkness will eclipse the land, destroying everyone he loves.
In the dead of cold, the spark shall burn...
Catalyst The Passage of Hellsfire Book 1 eBook Marc Johnson
I found this book to be solid. It was not bad, but not really good either. First off the story itself is fairly basic, nothing that hasnt been done before. While there is no problem with that i didnt feel the author did much to spice it up, it was pretty much what you see is what you get.The characters followed a similar theme. There was nothing WRONG with them, but i didnt really care about them either. First lets go with Hellsfire. Yes that is his name and yes it is hard to take seriously, everytime i read it i feel as though its some kids account on an mmorpg. Hes just like the story, hes safe. Thats actually a good way to describe the book, safe, as though the author did not want to take any chances. It leaves you with a very stereotypical hero who bored me sometimes.
The supportting characters really are not flushed out well, this is a story about HF and it shows. If you are someone who enjoys good characters interacting with each other i dont think you will be satisfied from this book. The setting and overall descriptions are lacking. Everything from characters to the areas get a small description and then its left the the reader to fill in the blanks. An example is most characters get, at most, eye and hair color MAYBE skin tone and height, that leaves alot of blanks.
In the end i cant say dont buy the book. I think the book was solidly written and that the author could do a really good job with another story that took more risks. A good way for me to sum it up for myself is that while i dont regret buying the book i also dont intend on buying the 2nd.

Catalyst The Passage of Hellsfire Book 1 eBook Marc Johnson Reviews
Hellsfire is a 14 year old boy who has been brought up by a loving mother to always do the right thing. It doesn't matter if the right thing is saving a younger boy from getting beat up by the town bullies only to get beat up himself or going up against ruffians who are chasing a young girl through the forest. Once Hellsfire meets Princess Crystal, his whole life changes. He discovers a gift he didn't know he possessed and sets out to learn how to use it by leaving his mother's small farm house and traveling to the top of a brutal mountain through sheer determination. But he doesn't forget the Princess.
When Hellsfire has a vision about Princess Crystal and the city of Alexandria, which are the only things standing between Shala and the wastelands, he leaves his training sanctuary against his master's wishes to help her. Is his vision true? Can he get to the Princess in time? Is there anything he can do to help Crystal and Alexandria? He doesn't know, but he WILL help the Princess who has captured his heart.
I liked this story. It is not that original and there aren't a lot of twists and turns in this first book in the Hellsfire series but something about it caught my attention almost at once and I found myself eager to continue to listen each day. It is well written and Hellsfire is a compelling character. He does the right thing and helps whenever and wherever he can. Doing the right thing is sometimes painful and takes him places he really doesn't want to go but he does it anyway. The Princess calls him 'Hero' and he is, at that. I look forward to the next installment in the series.
To be frank, my heart sank when I was 5 minutes into this book and heard the narration by Bryan Zee. I thought it was going to be a chore to get through this listen. However, I was quickly drawn into the story and began to enjoy the cadence of his reading (for reading it was) and the lilt of his accent. He has a pleasant tone to his voice and I ended the story enjoying his narration very much and hope that Marc Johnson sticks with him for the series.
I received this audiobook for free through Audiobook Boom! in exchange for an honest review.
I am going to recommend this book to ALL my friends!! Can't wait for the second one to be released!
I'm loving it, can't wait for what he write next and plan on following it to the end. Book 2 is on the way and I'm looking forward to reading it also.
One of the things I enjoyed best about Catalyst was the avoidance of certain tropes and dialogues common to fantasy fiction these days. Hellsfire goes through the hero's journey, but he does it at his own pace and at his own speed. Johnson's writing takes a bit to catch on, but by mid-book he's hit his stride, and the ride is on. An enjoyable read, I look forward to more of his work!
