Publisher's summary
The rage room. In the mid 21st century, it has become the most sought out method of destruction therapy. Want to kill your lover and get away with it? What about your boss? Your priest? At Catharsis, Chicago’s premier rage room for the wealthy elite, you now can—in a safe, controlled simulation—and no one gets hurt. No one dies.
Owen Valack is the CEO who runs Catharsis, a corporation built on the backs of his father and grandfather. Now, decades after its inception, a new technology is being pioneered at Catharsis, substituting living, sentient replicants as victims instead of crude, outdated holograms. And Owen, in the midst of a bitter divorce, has decided to use his estranged wife’s replicant as the prototype. But the replicants, unlike the crude holograms that came before, fight back with surprising strength and agility. A shocking discovery is made when the simulated murder of a second replicant coincides with the grisly death of its human counterpart swimming 2,000 miles away at Malibu Beach.
Pete Malinowski, a beat cop, gets a call to respond to a reported drowning. Inexplicably, what he finds is a man clearly dead, but not from drowning. Suspecting a homicide, he begins an investigation that leads him from Malibu Beach to Council Grove, Kansas, and finally back to Chicago to ferret out the truth of what’s really happening behind closed doors at the premier Chicago rage room.

Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Story
Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Story
Ashley Perrin is fresh out of college and starting a job as a community liaison for the Third District–the city’s only sector with more alien residents than humans. Ashley’s barely found where the paper clips are kept when she’s beset with constituent complaints–from too much noise at the Annual Lupidian Celebration Parade to a trip-and-fall chicken to a very particular type of alien hornet that threatens the very city itself. And if that’s not terrifying enough, Ashley is next up at the office karaoke night.

In the not-too-distant future, a 21-member crew launches from Earth. Their mission: to establish a temporary colony on Mars. Little do they know that colony will become permanent–and the last stand of the human race. Because, without warning, every single person left on Earth simply...vanishes. Now, a thousand years later, the resources needed to sustain life are running out, and the very existence of the Mars colony is threatened. Humankind has only one option–to return to its home planet.

Saving the world could be fun—if you don’t mind a little soul-crushing responsibility. But being killed and reincarnated into the battlefield chaos of a 4x game world wasn't what he had in mind. The world map is made out of hexagrams, the units are semi-sentient and his opponents have a head start. As if that wasn't enough, there's no instruction manual for this nightmare.

Fast paced fiasco
Well done, short vivid scenes make it fast paced with very dark themes and characters.
Modified voices and sound effects add to the narrative but which voice gets the biggest share of the royalties?

A Spine-Tingling Novel Brought to Chilling Reality in Audio
Where is technology leading us? And do we possess the morality .. the humanity … to wield its power for the common good? “Catharsis” takes you on an adrenaline-laced ride that doesn’t let up. It’s part science fiction, part police procedural, part psychological thriller — and an altogether satisfying nightmare. And in its beautifully realized audio production, it makes this dark world more chillingly real. Author Rhys Lovell masterfully narrates, bringing to life this futuristic (yet frighteningly plausible) world and its many characters. The sound design creates an almost cinematic quality, putting you in the center of the action. You’ll definitely want to turn out the lights, and curl up with your headphones … you won’t be sleeping anytime soon!

Great storytelling and production
Catharsis is a riveting tale of the not too distant future. It’s a good cross pollination of dystopian sci fi and police procedural. Rhys Lovell’s writing is vivid when describing the world of Catharsis and his vocal performance is that of a terrific actor. A great listen!

Compelling and engaging read
The story immediately draws you into a future world that feels hauntingly plausible. The author’s performance of all of the characters is the highlight for me. His performance, coupled with well placed sound effects, makes the experience feel more like a film than a novel. The world building is ingenious and offers insightful commentary about how we cope with our emotions and the role of AI in our future. It was fun to experience classic tropes from the cop thriller genre placed in a not too distant future. This is an action packed thriller that also offers some lovely dream sequences that provide compelling insights into character.

Both chilling and fascinating
This audiobook is a thrilling, futuristic exploration of destruction therapy and the dark consequences of human desire. With its clever fusion of sci-fi and psychological suspense, it kept me on the edge of my seat, questioning morality and the limits of technology. The descent into ethically murky territory makes for an unforgettable and thought-provoking read, brilliantly blending mystery, technology, and human drama, pulling the me into a world where virtual violence has very real consequences. The investigation side adds a bold and imaginative detective element to this dystopian thriller.

Great listen. Like the book, audiobook is fast paced and intriguing. Lovell does a wonderful job creating a compelling story.
Each character fleshed out with just the perfect amount of sound effects and music to drive the narrative. A great first book for Lovell and hoping to hear more from him.
