Earth. That's what astronomer Ben Rollins 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."It's a hundred times bigger than the sun," Ben tells them. "Somehow we can't see it yet, and they don't know what it is, but they're calling it Nomad--and in just months, the Earth may be destroyed."But how did they miss detecting it until now?The world erupts into chaos as the end approaches, and Ben discovers his wife and daughter are trapped in Europe. The key to Nomad's secrets--and humanity's ultimate survival--may rest in the answers he pieces together from his old Cold War-era research papers, in the midst of a desperate scramble across continents to find his family before Nomad swallows the planet.MORE FROM THE BACK COVERNomad is the first book in an epic series that follows one family's fight to survive a whole new category of cosmic disaster never seen before--all the more frightening as the science behind it was developed by a team of astrophysicists from CERN, SETI, and the Keck Observatory. This award-winning epic comes from Amazon bestseller Matthew Mather, whose books have sold close to a million copies and been translated into eighteen languages.
