New book from Matthew Mather: Nomad
Matthew Mather released a new book last week called Nomad. Mather is the master of tense thrillers with plots not just taken from current headlines, but predicting them. I read his last book Darknet a couple of months ago and can honestly say that it was one of the scariest reads of my life, not because it’s a horror novel, but because his attention to detail, character depth, and ability to tell a story that was unfolding in current news was terrifying.
I interviewed Matthew a few months ago for Author Stories. Give it a listen here.
Nomad is receiving a tremendous amount of early buzz. In fact, it has been nominated for the Kindle Select 25. Here’s a word from Matthew about it:
Now with Nomad, Matthew tackles another subject that is on a lot of people’s minds, a threat from outer space. I downloaded it yesterday to my Kindle and from the first page, I was hooked. Here’s the excerpt:
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, don’t know what it is, but it’s there. NASA’s calling it Nomad, and in just months, the Earth may be destroyed.”
“Set firmly in the realm of God-I-hope-not science fiction, Mather grounds his story in hard facts, weaving a tale that is all too plausible, gritty and realistic.” – Peter Cawdron, author of Anomaly
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.
“An instant classic of the apocalyptic genre, a petrifyingly wild ride.” – A.C. Hadfield, bestselling author of The Atlantis Ship.
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.
