A Thrilling fusion of mystery and intrigue in an exotic setting.
Eric Martin is desperate to forget his past, one that almost cost him his future.
Working in Paris as deputy head of a bank's internal security department, Eric notices a high-speed trader's uncanny ability to predict extremely profitable trades. Even though there's nothing illegal about the activity, he knows the trader's success is more than just luck.But, no one believes him. Armed only with a handful of data and a powerful instinct, Eric searches for the mysterious trader on his own. He suspects that a predictive algorithm has fallen into the wrong hands.
Eric sets off for Istanbul to find answers promised to him by an informant. He finds an unlikely ally in Interpol agent Stephanie Brule. With Interpol wanting him back in Paris and out of the way, Eric's quest is also hampered by the sudden appearance of his ex-lover, a boss he's not sure he can trust, and a terrorist who always seems one step ahead.
Will Eric put an end, once and for all, to the nightmare that began when he accepted a job that was too good to be true? Or will his need for revenge and justice lead him deeper into a treacherous world he has no way of escaping?

The Nomad's Premonition by Georges Benay, is a fast-paced mystery thriller, centered around the world of international banking and trading. When I checked the authors bio, I discovered he is an author fromToronto, Canada, and has spent much of his working life in the field of International Banking.I enjoyed the book immensely. The plot is exciting and fast paced, but I also learned interesting things about Turkey and Istanbul and the Cappadocia region. (I was so intrigued that I looked some of the places up online to check for veracity.) I appreciated his insight into the way the old world and the new generations live and thrive in unison in Turkey.
The main protagonist, Eric Martin, is wonderfully flawed, and yet admirably tenacious. Some of the scenes in this book are frightening and brutal. Martin is not portrayed as a super hero who can deflect bullets and escape at every turn. He is very human. He gets hurt, he gets beaten senseless, he has scraped knuckles, cuts and bruises. He fights to get back up and heal, and then he is on the trail of his enemies again.
Other scenes are hilarious—I laughed out loud when he stole a truck and chased the bad guys down the road and through a street market. The scene was so descriptive, I could virtually see things flying and people fleeing.
Every time I though he couldn’t survive, something unexpected would intervene. The ending wasn’t typical, but it was satisfactory.
I have discovered that Benay has written a book prior to Nomads Premonition—I have already decided to read it.
I highly recommend this exciting read.

The Nomad Premonition Georges Benay 9780998162867 Books Reviews
Not having read the first Eric Martin novel, Nomad On The Run, I did feel at quite a disadvantage particularly early on in its sequel, The Nomad's Premonition. I do frequently read series out of order, but with these books I think I would advise people to read them in the order they were written!
Benay does a nice job of presenting Paris and Istanbul to his readers. I thought he evoked their differing atmospheres quite well and I could imagine the backdrops to his scenes. Unfortunately I didn't think we got to know his characters anywhere near as well as their locations. Even Eric remained opaque for much of the novel and his supporting cast never really leapt off the page. Benay gives us a lot of background information which often digresses from the main narrative so The Nomad's Premonition is mostly slow going with sporadic bursts of action.
I know other readers have enjoyed this story, but it wasn't really a good book for me.
This is the follow-up to Nomad on the Run and although it can be read as a stand-alone book, I was glad that I had been introduced to the characters and the plot in that book.
Three years have passed and protagonist Eric Martin is a sad, broken man. He barely escaped with his life fleeing Kurdish terrorists, losing friends and loved-ones in the process. Eric is no longer the confident man we saw in book one. Life has changed for him. He is unsettled – "the fear of not ever getting back his sense of self had suppressed his zest for life." The reader now finds him in Paris, still in banking, but this time in the internal security department. When he becomes aware of unusual trading that unfailingly profits a mysterious trader, he sets out to investigate. Once again he is trapped in a crisis, becoming an unwilling action hero. Eric's fear is that the trader is using the predictive algorithm software described in the first book to disrupt financial stability. That search takes him from Paris to the Cote d'Azur, to Istanbul to the underground cities of Cappadocia in Turkey. Exotic to say the least. The descriptions of Istanbul, the Blue Mosque and the Bosporus made me want to visit.
Each character in this book is complex and hiding secrets. His once-trusted boss, Alain Petit, is not who he seems to be. His one ally is Stephanie Brule, an Interpol agent.
The Nomad's Premonition is more than a fast-paced action novel. The author obviously is well acquainted with and understands complex international financial dealings and he writes convincingly of the exotic places Eric visits. Obviously he is very familiar with all of it. The plot-line is true to life in our modern world, from corrupt wheeling and dealing to international terrorism. It's authentic.
This is basically a clean read, with the exception of a few expletives.
I believe the author left a cliff-hanger so I'm looking forward to the next creative, exciting installment.
I received this book free of charge from the author.
This was the second book written by George Benay that I read and I was not disappointed.
Captivating and fast paced “The Nomad's Premonition” kept me in suspense and it was hard to put the book down once I start reading it.
I hope that there will be a sequel for this novel to discover Eric Martin’s new adventures.
With the Nomad’s Premonition, Georges Benay offers an excellent companion read to his first book in the Nomad series. His protagonist, Eric Martin, is offered a job that sounds too good to be true. Instead, he’s drawn back to the truth behind a mysterious trader with an uncanny ability to predict the precise times to buy and sell. Once again, Eric suspects the predictive trading algorithm has fallen into the wrong hands.
If Eric was playing Texas Holdem Poker, his story is the equivalent of deciding to go “all in.”
He risks everything to find out who is behind the curtain of deception.
Benay treats his readers to great character development, exciting adventure, and makes use of settings he is obviously on familiar terms with. It also takes a writer who has a personal understanding of the financial world Eric Martin inhabits.
No plot spoiler here, but a solid recommendation to join Benay’s list of readers. Five stars!
