Publisher's Summary

Something big is coming...big enough to destroy the entire solar system...and it's heading straight 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 and wife, who are vacationing in Italy: Something is coming, he tells them, a hundred times the mass of our sun. 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. In just a few months, the Earth may be destroyed.

The world erupts into chaos as the end approaches - and Ben discovers that his wife and daughter are trapped in Italy. The key to humanity's survival may rest in the final answers he pieces together in the midst of his frantic scramble to find his family before Nomad swallows the planet.

Needlessly convoluted

The first good long chunk of the book is very good. It sets the stage and frames the characters well. For reasons that would be spoilers to explain, once things actually start to happen the author decides to introduce a veritable storm of convoluted side issues to the story. I like this author. But I am disappointed in this effort, which appears to me to be simply a matter of making for a longer book than contributing anything essential to the story. Maybe the book had difficulty deciding what it wanted to be when it grew up, but whatever it was it never actually did grow up. Not sure I'll complete the series. Probably will, simply because I've read other Mather stories that I have found extremely engaging and entertaining.

not as awesome as other books by MM.

The only thing I didn't like was the completely unrealistic main character Jessica. The facts about her were contradictory. She is a scientist, a well-endowed lady, a well-known extreme sports junkie, a car thief, etc. But she seems like an idiot. She was too many things.

Awesome book

This was an amazing ride with twists and turns in every chapter. Narrator was good and even though his voices for women were husky, he did give it a really good try. Storyline was believable as I think that it is a very real possibility especially since I believe that Planet X or Nibiru or Nemesis is out there and Earth has a good chance of coming close to it at some point.
