Nomad

De: Jamie Nash

Narrado por: Christy Davis

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 story mysterious, terrifying, wanted to read more. Wish they would write some more of this genre.

Very Creepy

Nomad is a creepy horror story set on a spaceship far from earth. The heroine wakes in some sort of cryogenic chamber feeling like she’s suffocating while a man tries to break her out of the tube. She escapes into chaos with no idea where she is or who she is. The chamber where hundreds of these tubes are stored is blowing up and only the heroine and three people manage to get to relative safety—two of those three are dying from wounds they suffered getting out.

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.

I received this book free from Audiobook Boom in exchange for an honest review.

interesting story at a breakneck pace

Story is centered around a character with amnesia and the story is written in a way where you're as confused as she is as she explores and learns things. She even makes mistakes that seem plausible. It's pretty gory though, so just be warned. The pace of the book is pretty frantic, but that pretty well aligns to the story as a whole.

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.

Fun, creepy and witty

This story is a blast from beginning to end. It's full of mystery, wit, action and creepy aliens. The main character is the type of chick I would love to hang out with and the narration absolutely rocks.
