Publisher's summary

Half the world is a wasteland; the other half is on borrowed time.

The West has been devastated by epidemics, bio-terrorism, war, and famine. Asia has shut its borders to keep the threats at bay, and some with power and influence have already abandoned Earth. Now an escape route a century in the making - the Nomad mission - finally offers hope to a small town and a secret research centre hidden in a rural American backwater.

Shrouded in lies and concealed even from the research centre's staff, Nomad is about to fulfil its long-dead founder's vision of preserving the best of humanity to forge a new future. But who decides who's worthy? The mission is now in the hands of a unique AI called Solomon, and an encounter with a band of military veterans reshapes his plans for mankind's future after the arrival of a scientist with a grudge threatens the whole mission.

a wonderful read!

truely a great addition to the galaxys edge universe, can't wait for the next one to come out, good characters and an interesting look at what happens to earth

Great story, I can’t wait for the next one

The story was outstanding, I can’t wait for the next episode. The narrator sounded and performed well but his equipment is very sub par. I could tell every time he restarted and had to adjust my volume.

Best in the Galaxy's Edge series.

I've been a fan of the Galaxy's Edge series for a while now and I'm off the form belief that this is the best story in that universe. The narration is also great. Fantastic character development with trials and tribulations. I look forward to the next in this series.

Good stuff

It’s funny, I stumble upon KTs books every now and then and every time I enjoy it. I think the only reason my library isn’t stacked with her books is because I seem to always catch the first in the series and by the time the next one comes out I have forgotten about it.

No idea where the bad reviews come from.

This a great story a new arc in the galaxy's edge series. No it is not in direct correlation with the existing story line but a very good new story. As far as the bad reviews on the narration I don't understand what people want. The narrator did a great job character's were not mashed together and were very distinctive. Needs to be another in the series promt. Listen and enjoy you won't be disappointed.

The narration sounds like two different tracks.

I’m only to chapter 3 but it sounds like they had to go back and dub over with a different narrator. Almost as if they had audio issues and went back to voice over the bad parts. The result is two distinctly sounding voices and it is hard to listen past this. Yes, it’s the same narrator.

Truly Entertaining

A great read with an imaginative ending . I highly recommend this book as it kept my interest from start to finish

Mediocre start good middle great end.

The book started out about a 3, increased to a 4 by the middle at the ending was a 5.

This would be an Awesome HS reading assignment.

A great prequel to Galaxy's Edge. A great cast of characters and story line. The book raises alot of good philosophical points on what it means to be a good person. the only issue is the editing is a bit off. The narrator's volume and Pitch change erratically in some points. but that's no fault of the author

Spotty narration, great story!

Absolutely loved this story and can't wait for the next. The narration was spotty with the volume and pitch differing at times, but was well enough over all. Chris is up there as one of my favorite characters within this universe, right up there with Aeson Keel (Ford) and the man/myth/legend himself Tyrus Rechs. Can't wait for the next one!
