A month ago, the supernova Aeon detonated in the skies over Antarctica. Global sea levels rose by five feet, temperatures by ten degrees. A mass human and animal exodus to the north is underway even as the global electronics and power and communications grids have been destroyed.
Max Carver made it back to America in time to be with Talisha and witness the birth of their child, Charlotte, but he was unsuccessful in stopping Ben Belloc from leaving he Amazon with the Colony technology. Rumors surface that Ben has landed in Louisiana, in the town Max and Ben grew up in together. Strange stories begin circulating of fantastic creatures inhabiting the Mississippi delta as humans evacuate to the north.
Dr. Xin Rhou managed to escape the Antarctic continent with a prize greater than she could have imagined, but the cost of her victory was catastrophic even as she gets exactly what she wanted. On her return, as perhaps the most famous person in the world as the discoverer of Aeon, she is nominated to become the new head of the United Nations Global Protectorate, tasked with the almost unbelievable goal of building a magnetic shield to protect Earth from the plasma wall of Aeon's detonation which will hit the planet in thirty years.
The key to this compelling goal and securing the future of the planet, however, hinges on the newly formed UNGP getting full access to the Colony technology, as well as stopping the growing threat from the new lifeforms evolving deep in the Mississippi Delta. Dr. Xin Rhou, now President of the UNGP, appeals to Max Carver to go on one last mission to finally stop his old friend.
And so Max together with his Charlie recon squad of Bull, Ginvera Garza, Susanna Sorenson, Fred Saberhager and Dr. Iona Alcott, get on a fast attack boat in the northern alliance state of Missouri and begin to descend down to the Mississippi into the deep south under the glowing ball of Aeon growing in the southern skies.
Bestselling author Matthew Mather presents all four books in the Nomad series, now available in a single audiobook collection.
Nomad
When exoplanet researcher Dr. Ben Rollins is told by NASA that a massive object in space could end the world, his first instinct is to call his daughter and wife: something is coming, he tells them. 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. The world erupts into chaos as the end approaches—and Ben discovers that his wife and daughter are trapped. The key to humanity’s survival may rest in the answers he pieces together, in the midst of his frantic scramble to find his family before Nomad swallows the planet.
Sanctuary
In the Day of the Nomad, oceans flooded the continents and the earth split open, pouring darkness into the skies. Jessica Rollins survived, but at what cost? The key to humanity’s survival may lie in the backpack she recovered from her father, in data he collected more than thirty years before. Her father’s words circle around and around in her head. What does the data mean? Who is the mysterious Ufuk Erdogmus? And what is … Sanctuary?
Resistance
The fight for the future of humanity begins. Jessica Rollins has made it to safety inside the Sanctuary system with the help of Ufuk Erdogmus, but is her mysterious savior really who he says he is? What secrets does he hide? And how is he connected to Dr. Muller? Jess doesn’t have much time to ponder these questions, as soon she is fighting again for her life …
Destiny
After the destruction of the planet by Nomad, the final fight for the future comes to a staggering conclusion as Earth drops toward Saturn and Jessica Rollins must decide whether to save the ones she loves, or save the human race. Destiny is the fourth and final novel in a four-book saga that follows one family’s fight to survive on a new Earth after a whole new category of disaster.
A week ago, the supernova Aeon detonated in the skies over Antarctica. Mass migrations of humanity and animal life began northward. Secondary bursts of ionizing radiation knocked out worldwide power grids. Global temperatures spiked. Oceans rose as seawater expanded and glaciers melted. Massive storms and acid rain scour the planet.
The southern continent is literally melting under the feet of Dr. Xin Rhou as she is trapped at the South Pole, and she is perhaps the only person in the world with a full accounting of the data recorded when Aeon exploded.
Thousands of miles away in the Amazon, Max Carver struggles to stay alive while attempting to stop his old friend and brother Ben Belloc escaping from the Colony. But the only thing Max really wants is to get north of the equator and find his pregnant wife Talisha as she is about to give birth.
Talisha, meanwhile, has joined millions of Aeon refugees on the roads of America. Most cars have been rendered inoperable by the supernova burst, and all communications and power grids are down. But for Tal, on the verge of giving birth in a suddenly very unforgiving world, all of this is even less important than the revelation she has just learned …
