Dead Space - Catalyst is a prequel to the Dead Space series, focusing on the ominous Black Marker. Set centuries before the main events of the series, this novel expands the lore established in Dead Space 2 and 3.

Two hundred and fifty years in the future, mankind faces extinction. In a desperate bid to save humanity, Earthgov tampers with dangerous technology derived from the Black Markerβ€”an ancient alien artefact discovered on Earth eighty years prior. However, the Marker’s influence reanimates corpses into grotesque, rampaging nightmares. Laden with desperation, deceit, and hubris, the history of the Markers unveils a foreboding future for humanity.

Brothers Istvan and Jensi grew up under the poorest dome on Vinduaga. Jensi has always protected Istvan, who suffers from episodes of violent paranoia. When Istvan is sent offworld to a high-security prison, Jensi is determined to follow and ensure his brother's safety. However, the prison harbours a dreadful secret, one that will propel both brothers towards something far greater and darker than they could ever imagine.
