#1 New York Times bestselling author Terry Goodkind reinvents the thriller with a provocative, page-turning walk among evil.

Kate Bishop thought she was an ordinary woman living and working in Chicago. But when she unexpectedly finds herself in the middle of a police investigation into a brutal murder, Kate makes a shocking discovery: she has the ability to identify killers just by looking into their eyes.

Trying to grasp the implications of this revelation, Kate is drawn deep into a world of terror. She is tracked down by Jack Raines, a mysterious author with shadowy connections to those who share her ability. He tells Kate that her unique vision also makes her a target, and only he can help her.

Now, hot on Jack and Kate’s heels are a force of super-predators, vicious and bloodthirsty killers who will stop at nothing until Kate is dead. But even as she fights for her life, Kate still isn’t sure if Jack is really her salvation, or another killer coming to slaughter her.

An explosive mix of action and suspense, Nest is a landmark new novel from worldwide bestselling author Terry Goodkind, and a complete reinvention of the contemporary thriller. Travel with Goodkind on a dangerous journey to the back alleys of the darknet, to the darkest corners of our minds, and to the very origins of what it is to be human.

Terry Goodkind is a #1 New York Times Bestselling Author and creator of the critically acclaimed masterwork, ‘The Sword of Truth’. He has written 30+ major, bestselling novels, has been published in more than 20 languages world-wide, and has sold more than 26 Million books.

‘The Sword of Truth’ is a revered literary tour de force, comprised of 17 volumes, borne from over 25 years of dedicated writing. Terry Goodkind's brilliant books are character-driven stories, with a focus on the complexity of the human psyche. Goodkind has an uncanny grasp for crafting compelling stories about people like you and me, trapped in terrifying situations. With masterful storytelling, Goodkind brings us into the lives of his characters; characters that must rise to face not only challenges, but their deepest fears. For that reason, Goodkind’s characters speak to the best and worst in all of us.

While ‘The Sword of Truth’ series is confirmation enough of Goodkind’s incredible storytelling abilities, his broad talents are also clearly evident in his contemporary novels, set within our own world. His post-‘Sword of Truth’ books are a thrilling, dizzying, mix of modern narrative, with every bit of Goodkind’s masterful voice intact. The bond built between the reader and one of the world’s great authors, rises above worlds and settings, mere backdrops for Goodkind’s uniquely intricate stories of life, love, challenge, and triumph.

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't stop reading it!

I received an Advanced Reading Copy of this novel by Terry Goodkind. Going in, I knew it wasn't part of the Sword of Truth series that he is known for. No, this was something different and totally refreshing!
You could tell by the pace and tone of the book that it was exciting for him to write. It didn't seem stale or rushed. Of course, I recognized Mr. goodkind's writing style while reading. It made me smile.
The first chapter was able to really pull me into the story. My head was in the story even when I wasn't reading. I looked at the world differently and noticed a lot of things I had turned a blind eye to. It really struck a chord.
Kate is a strong female lead and is an incredible character. I've noticed that Mr. Goodkind really has a thing for writing strong female characters. As a woman, that is part of the appeal.
Currently, I'm on my second read-through and am loving it as much as I did the first time.
I will say this, though, there is a small part of the book where a LOT of information is thrown at you and sometimes he repeats himself and my eyes glazed over, but it is only a small section and doesn't take away from the story.
The story was very original and so brilliantly thought out. You could tell that quite a bit of research was done to create the story. Totally brilliant!
Definitely on my must read list for my friends and family!

4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing New Concept, Same Od Goodkind Style
Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2016
Verified Purchase
I'm a huge Terry Goodkind fan; his Sword of Truth series is one of the best fantasy epics out there. I was interested to see how his move into thriller would go - I wasn't sure what to expect, but this definitely surprised me. While Goodkind's style of writing hasn't changed, there were some things about this book that I really didn't like. There was a lot of expository writing where I felt something should be happening to the main character. She's thrown into this crazy new world of violence, but there's very little action throughout the whole book. The scenes where there is action, are incredibly graphic and downright horrifying, but intriguing to read, nonetheless. It did feel like the book was a long preview of book 2 (I hope there is a book 2) because of the cliffhanger ending.

All that being said, the concept of this book is incredible; Goodkind brings to life these evil plans for humanity in such a way that sometimes I had to remind myself, this isn't real. It really made me reexamine my electronic footprint and be aware of what I am putting out into the world. I really want to know what happens to this character next (much like the character from The Law of Nines... I'm still waiting!) and am eagerly waiting the next installment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Deep in the dark web lurks a circle of assassins, and they've established a hit list
Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2017

Terry Goodkind wrote the "Sword of Truth" series chronicling the exploits of Richard Cypher and Kahlan Amnell in world where wizards and magic prevail. I plowed through those as fast as he could write them, and then I picked up another of his books. But largely the name Goodkind faded from my book purchases. And I went heavily into straight science fiction, murder mystery or intrigue thriller. Until now. "Nest" is unlike anything I expected of a guy who created an entire world of wizards. The story starts with a man who believes he's got the devil chained in his basement. In typical Goodkind fashion, this appears normal, at least in context. Goodkind weaves a believable tale no matter what he says happens. Unfortunately, the devil escapes and murders his jailer. That's where Kate Bishop enters. Her brother is the hapless man, a high functioning autistic, who tried to chain the killer and keep him from doing harm. Bishop is horrified. She had been on a trip and wasn't there when her brother needed her. Their parents had died some years before, and she was his safety net. Kate discovers her brother had been working with a police detective to find murderers. Turns out he had this innate ability to read evil from photographic images, not the digital variety, but from film. He could pick out a killer at random. The detective used him clandestinely to do this since her cases would be ripped to shreds had any discovered her methods. Kate soon discovers that she, too, has the ability to see evil. And she learns that she's in trouble. That she's been targeted by some shadowy organization. Into the picture jumps a guy named Jack Raines, who not only believes that people like Kate exist but can spot them. He's written a book about the concept and has been in touch with the detective. However, he tells Kate she must be careful, that evil is on the rise and that her kind is a target of this element. The book speeds along rapidly as Kate's life goes from corporate comfortable to not being able to trust her next move. Upon completion, I wanted more. About like the Sword of Truth saga that went through many novels. It's another great read.

kind of people: men and women. This book was a shocker and affected me deeply, reinforcing in my mind that the dark and the light (of human history) has ebbed up and down through human history and it seems that the evil inmate in each of us is winning and the end days come.

Well written and very engaging characters. For a thriller though, it dragged a bit due to the lengthy descriptions of the theory of evil. Theory itself was interesting and plausible. Hopefully it was setting up for a sequel. Will definitely follow this series if it occurs.

3.0 out of 5 stars fascinating concept, writing style essay-like (to me)
Reviewed in Canada on November 20, 2022
Verified Purchase
I found the fundamental concept, and its exploration, fascinating: that murder is endemic in human beings (that's a gross over-simplification). How he elaborates that concept I also found absorbing.

The drawback, for me, is that the identification and elaboration of the concept are largely presented in what I'd call essay format. So much of the language of discussion is almost research-like.

But if you can get through that, IMO, it's not an outstanding read, but did make me think about things from a different angle.

I should say as preface that I spent years, slowly disentangling for myself the concepts of mental illness, and evil--because the concept of evil has fallen out of fashion, and out of use.

Mental illness is not something that anyone chooses. It IS illness. It CAN be prevented, if we want to, and it can be treated, with varying degrees of success.

Evil, on the other hand, is a willing, and avoidable, behaviour that discounts others' humanity, and consciously--and often repeatedly--harms them--sometimes to the point of death.

IMO, DJT may be mentally ill--there have been a gazillion diagnoses proposed, but he is not treatable. He CHOOSES his actions. He is evil.

He's not alone, of course.

Anyway, that's probably one reason that I found the Goodkind book a worthwhile read.
