“The disaster thriller we’ve all been waiting for. Compelling science, gut-wrenching adventure, and a truly original premise. ” – Nicholas Sansbury Smith, author of the Extinction Horizon series.

Nomad

by Matthew Mather

Here’s the set-up:

Something massive is coming…
And it’s heading for Earth.

That’s what Dr. Ben Rollins, head of Harvard’s exoplanet research team, is told by NASA after being dragged out of bed in the middle of the night. His first instinct is to call his daughter, Jessica, who’s vacationing in Italy with his wife. “Something is coming,” he tells them, “a hundred times the mass of the sun. We can’t see it, we don’t know what it is, but it’s there. NASA’s calling it Nomad, and in just months, the Earth may be destroyed.”

But what is it? And how did they miss detecting it until now? In a frantic race against time, Dr. Rollins must unravel Nomad’s secrets. A mysterious clue surfaces in his old research papers from the end of the Cold War, more than thirty years earlier…

The world erupts into chaos as the end approaches–and Ben discovers that his wife and daughter are trapped in Europe. The key to humanity’s survival rests in the final answers Dr. Rollins pieces together, in the midst of his desperate scramble across continents to find his family before Nomad swallows the planet.

MORE ABOUT NOMAD

A story of family, redemption, love and hope set amid a brand new category of cataclysm–all the more plausible and terrifying as the science behind it is vetted by a team of world-class astrophysicists from CERN, SETI, the Keck Observatory and more. It even has its own simulation video, included at the end of the book.

Nomad comes from the mind of award-winning, Amazon Best-Seller Matthew Mather, whose books have sold a half million copies and been translated into sixteen languages, with 20th Century Fox developing one of his latest novels, CyberStorm, for film.

5-Star Amazon Reviews

“For a end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it book, Nomad takes a different tack. Mather tells a very intense tale, backed by scientific research which makes the whole scenario totally believable. I like that the focus of the cataclysmic celestial event is on the people involved instead of the possible gruesome devastation of our planet. The plot has several twists, but always comes back to the family and friend’s reactions to their environment and their relationship to each other. Very thought provoking and well written. The story moves along, so much so that it’s hard to stop reading and take a break from the pace. Likeable, intelligent characters (most of them) and a topic that really grabs the imagination. Can’t wait for the sequel!”

“Mather has quickly become one of the top self-publishing modern day authors. With excellent titles under his belt such as Cyberstorm and Darknet, both of which I devoured start to finish, I couldn’t wait to pick up Nomad.”
