Something big is coming...big enough to destroy the entire solar system...and it's heading straight 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 and wife, who are vacationing in Italy: Something is coming, he tells them, a hundred times the mass of our sun. We can't see it, we don't know what it is, but it's there. They're calling it Nomad, and it's coming fast. In just a few months, the Earth may be destroyed.

The world erupts into chaos as the end approaches - and Ben discovers that his wife and daughter are trapped in Italy. The key to humanity's survival may rest in the final answers he pieces together in the midst of his frantic scramble to find his family before Nomad swallows the planet.

I never read these type books. I'm a cozy mystery kinda girl. When I got the audio of Nomad so inexpensive, I said, "meh, why not listen". It started slow for me and that is probably cuz I was expecting not to enjoy it. And soon enough, I couldn't stop listening. I could feel each characters perspective to the Nomad crisis cuz the writing was great. And surprise, I enjoyed the story. I understand it's not out of the realm of reality for a Nomad situation and I'm intending to enjoy every day and leave this earth being warm, listening to music, wearing my shades laying in a grassy field...safe and secure :) Thanks for the unusual story. I will be getting the next installment.

Surprised at the enjoyment

I enjoyed the physics of the improbable events in the book as well as the explanation of the research that went in to the 'science' at the end of the book. Performance was good, clearly understandable and engaging. The characters were a bit flat, I felt, though. I did not end the book and immediately snap up book 2 (like I do with some other series) but will wait and see if I care about the characters enough in a couple weeks to see what happens to them.

Good physics, o.k. story

Quite good but lots of coincidences that were not fully explained. I am still not sure who sent the initial message about the family, what Rogers role was and why he did what he did at the end. Maybe these are question to be answered in the next book. I am not sure i am interested enough though to read the next book. Personally i would not recommend this book but i did finish it and that says something because there are a number of books i can’t finish.

Amazing

The author has done good simulation research with experts in the field
The you tube video showing the simulation, which is best watched after reading the story, helped me to really understand the science.
I found it to be a good read.

simple explanations + evidence based fiction

What was with the whole kidnapping plot? And the family feud that went back for generations? They were worse than the Clampett’s versus the Drysdales!

It was like three books in one. I wish the author concentrated more on the characters survival rather than this whole plot between families.

More Science than Fiction.

I love anything space related and the theoretical science behind it. This book talks about all the fun stuff with a good cast of characters as well. Be sure to watch the YouTube video mentioned at the end to really have what's happening sink in, an awesome bonus to a great book.

Fantastic!

I recently lost a relative to Covid19 and thought I would listen to science fiction. However this could very possibly happen. I dont know which is worse. Covid19 or something like this happening.

This is scary because it's possible.

I was having a conversation with an audible employee late one night I was doing a survey and he has my favorite book and I told Raymond I asked his and he says well he didn't really have a favorite but he was really interested in this 1 from his wish list I listened I agreed it's a good book caught my answer skip my answers

Science is boring, I know. This book tries to strike a balance between romance/intrigue and science fiction. It does a lot well enough to get me to continue the series, but it's overall a 'meh' story. Lots of interesting threads that don't get resolved, but not interesting enough for me to continue further if there's a lack luster payoff.

blend of romance (lame) science fiction (awesome)
