Right on the money, bang up to date, Nomad is a scorching romp for
grown up boys. A killer of a thriller
*Weekend Sport*
Nomad is a debut spy thriller from a veteran science-fiction author
who delivers his (...) enjoyable narrative at a frenzied pace, with
plenty of narrow escapes for reluctant hero Dane
*Daily Express*
Ferociously paced thriller, a high-concept tale of the solitary
hero on the run, bristling with technology and frequently erupting
into lethal violence...the author's background in scriptwriting and
videogames means that the tale is slick and sharply focused...
*The Irish Times*
Followers of Jason Bourne or those who are familiar with I Am
Pilgrim and / or homeland will agree that this book is a rattling
good yarn. Well written with plenty of cliffhangers and thoroughly
enjoyable
*Woman's Way*
Exciting Thriller
*The Sun*
Nomad is a globe-trotting espionage thriller (...) and very
enjoyable
*The Guardian (Review)*
Dane stands out as an unusual action hero... Breathless and
thrilling, sharply plotted and almost painfully topical, it's a
gripping story that does everything a spy thriller should.
*Track of Words Blog*
There's only one word to sum up Nomad and that word is Wow! Wow!
and Wow! again. Swallow hits the page running and you never stop,
from the panoramic opening scenes in Barcelona through to the
military operation in Dunkirk and on through the rest of the
novel
*The Crime Warp Book Blog*
This is edge of the seat stuff that is terrifyingly real in places
and pushes the boundaries of reality in others, not unlike most
high-action thrillers. If you're a fan of the novels of Lee Child,
Frederik Forsyth and Chris Ryan or you can't wait for the new Bond
film and love the TV series 24, then this is for you
*Closer magazine (Fred Olson Cruises magazine)*
Highly sophisticated and presented with incredible detail that it
is highly credible...The narrative is very fluent and moves at
speed, the reader immediately dragged into the action and despite
the number of scenarios, locations, characters and events
introduced rapidly in the opening chapters, Swallow's confident and
clear style ensures it's accessible and easy to follow rather than
overwhelming
*Bibliomaniac UK Book Blog*
Nomad is utterly gripping, cleverly plotted and one hell of a
thriller. Highly Recommended
*Liz Loves Books Blog*
James Swallow describes a character who is likeable and who is just
like Bond (...) It is a good story and the author gets you to keep
turning the pages in order to know what happens next
*BBC Radio Oxford*
I think I've found my new favourite action adventure author and
main character! (...)The writing and action is fast paced keeping
you on the edge of your seat and barely letting you catch your
breath before the next bit of excitement is upon you (...) An
excellent book and a really enjoyable read, I'm already looking
forward to the next book which will be out some time next year
*Nerdish Mum Book Blog*
A gripping finale. Highly recommended
*Breakaway Reviewers*
Swallow keeps the tension taut and the reader guessing until the
end, all the while delivering a topical story. In Dane he has an
appealing protagonist in what is sure to be a successful series
*Courier Mail (Brisbane)*
A rattling good plot
*Herald Sun (Melbourne)*
A ripper of a thriller!
*7AD New Zealand Radio*
Swallow is an experienced scriptwriter who has a fine eye for
action scenes and knows how to keep his story moving quickly
throughout its almost 500 pages... With its brisk plot, frequent
cinematic action and constantly shifting viewpoint Nomad is sure to
appeal to fans of Jason Bourne. Read it now before the inevitable
movie arrives
*Sydney Morning Herald*
The climax, as Dane and Keyes fight to prevent an ingenious and
deeply unpleasant attack from taking place right in the heart of
New York, was one that became genuinely impossible to put down.
Nomad is a fast-paced, tautly written thriller with an extremely
engaging main character who can both think and shoot his way out of
trouble
*Crime Review*
When I saw this was being compared to I Am Pilgrim I was a little
bit dubious, but it actually is a really great book with a gripping
plot and great characters. I can see this novel being a huge hit
because it has everything a great crime thriller should. It does
live up to the comparison with other great novels of its type and
it will have readers gripped from page 1
*Nudge Books - Second Opinion*
' A BAFTA nominated video game writer, Swallow is well versed in
crafting exciting, pacey and high-concept stories. Marc Dane is a
clever and likeable hero and, like Jason Bourne before him, readers
will be rooting for him all the way.'
