About this listen

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.

Don’t miss this breathtaking new series from New York Times best-selling author Karen Traviss.

Really enjoyed this book, a pity that the next book is not available on audio

Excellent

I found this to be a well thought out, intricate and cleverly constructed opening book in what will be a great series. Full of the things that makes human beings weak and shallow but also showing us at our best in adversity. I liked the narrator- there is more to life than RC Bray people!! Really looking forward to what comes next.

Great beginning to Galaxy's Edge

I love this book and I hope to see more in the series. The story left me wanting more.
One improvement for the future would be to have a better audio team. Otherwise the narration was good and story amazing.

Can't wait for book 2

The story and performance was excellent, if it wasn't for the sound editing I would have given this 5 stars overall. The pauses and changes in audio at inappropriate times was sometimes distracting. Fred Stone was great at the narration though.

Karen Traviss did an awesome job building on the lore in the established universe. Her military knowledge is spot on and I loved the character building.

I'm really looking to forward to more of the Nomad series.

Great addition to the Galaxy's Edge universe
