A dark sci-fi thriller in the vein of Alien or John Carpenter's The Thing....
She wakes up drowning, escapes from a watery canister into a deathtrap of fiery corridors and exploding machinery.
Somehow, she’s in space.
She can’t remember her name or why she’s here.
Her mind is a mixed-up Rubik’s cube of fuzzy memories.
But she knows that spaceships don’t exist, and if they did ordinary girls like her don’t belong on them.
And there’s something else. She’s not alone.
Someone or something lurks in the shadows.
And it wants her dead....
Nomad is the tale of an ordinary 1980s girl who wakes up in the middle of space opera.
Jamie Nash, the writer of horror films like V/H/S/2, Lovely Molly, Exists and Altered brings this science-fiction horror that's part space-opera slasher and part mind-bending mystery and part MTV Generation (Stranger Things/Ready Player One) nostalgia-fest.

Great Scifi horror, good mystery, wanting more.

What follows is a rather involved mystery. Where are they? How did they get there? Who are they? And why is someone trying to kill them? This is a good mystery with a great science fiction solution, but it’s also an adventure tale. The physical threats are very real and no one can really be trusted. But be forewarned, the violence and suffering in this novel is extremely graphic and it was hard to listen to.
So if you like stories with a lot of tension and an excellent creep factor, you should give Nomad a try.

It's mentioned at the end, that they attempted to make this into a movie, and I could see that. Little bit of Alien, mixed with The Maze Runner.

Full steam ahead, this quick listen was action-packed with quite a few twists and turns! I thoroughly enjoy when authors choose not to save every single character and Nash definitely delivered on this. I loved Nash's writing style too: just enough detail to paint a general picture, leaving your mind to creatively fill in the blank spots. I'm not sure I liked the cultural references, though.
I enjoyed Davis' narration. I thought she was spot on for the main character and didn't try too hard for the male voices. However, being from Jersey, Shaft's accent wasn't even close. While you can't expect every narrator to have perfect accents when needed, I wouldn't have minded Davis' regular voice for Shaft instead of trying out the Jersey accent.
Cool Premise!

This psychological horror sci-fi novel is cooler than it sounds. Nothing is what it seems, and no one has their survival granted. The intrigue is successfully built from the start and kept almost until the end. The characters are flawed and relatable, and they know as little about themselves as we do. Each one evolves in unsuspected ways, while they fight for their lives without knowing what they are up against. There is gore and also terrible horrors, but sometimes the darkest things could be inside oneself.
The story is quite original and it goes great lengths in suggesting the unimaginable. I was afraid that the truth was going to be so crazy that the plot would suffer and lose credibility but, amazingly, Nash was able to pull it off and deliver a satisfying ending.
I think Christy Davis did a good job bringing the main character to life. Her male voices were good too, but there were a couple of times that she Davis got the voices mixed up and that made following a couple of dialogs difficult. Technically there were a couple of small issues, like volume changes, a buzzing sound on the background, and some noticeable audio edits. Her accents needed more work though. Just a personal note: I am not used to hearing Canadian accents, and her way of pronouncing “out” got me every time.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and it kept me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. Absolutely recommended!

Dark, intriguing, and addicting

The main character is an 80s kid, so if you are too, or just love the decade, the references to basic stuff like Babbages or Commodore 64s, or Prince will make you smile. The story is your basic “stuck on a spaceship where everything wants to kill you (Alien, Event Horizon, etc)” mixed with more than a little Bourne Identity and a heaping helping of Nancy Drew (I love our heroine, she’s plucky and sarcastic, and bada##)
There’s profanity and some horror violence but no sex, and would probably be okay for 13+, though maybe a smidge older if f-bombs and disemboweling are a problem. I’m in my 40s and loved it.
The end of the book states this was originally a screenplay, which probably accounts for the breakneck pace, though honestly it works better in this format, as it is the inner monologue of our heroine that is half the fun.
So if you’re going on that plane ride or drive and want a fast, fun sci fi adventure, this is perfect.
