Bence Toth is a technical writer from Hungary who never really considered writing anything else for the wider public, than workshop manuals for vehicles. Not until his Facebook mini sci-fi series, - titled 'The Catalyst' - received encouraging feedback from friends. Then, the science-fiction adventure series got reworked into a novel and published in December, 2019. 'The Catalyst' is the result of lamentations on questions that every human being faces: what might the reason for our existence? Could be there any practical meanings to it? The novel is the author's conclusion to these questions, shaped into a science-fiction adventure story.
