Publisher Description
'Brilliant. . . I think Blake Crouch just invented something new' – Lee Child, author of the Jack Reacher series.
From Blake Crouch, the author of the bestselling Wayward Pines trilogy, Dark Matter is sweeping and intimate, mind-bendingly strange and profoundly human – a relentlessly surprising thriller about choices, paths not taken, and how far we'll go to claim the lives we dream of, perfect for fans of Stranger Things and Ready Player One.
'Are you happy in your life?'
Those are the last words Jason Dessen hears before the masked abductor knocks him unconscious.
Before he awakes to find himself strapped to a gurney, surrounded by strangers in hazmat suits.
Before the man he's never met smiles down at him and says, 'Welcome back.'
In this world he's woken up to, Jason's life is not the one he knows. His wife is not his wife. His son was never born. And Jason is not an ordinary college physics professor, but a celebrated genius who has achieved something remarkable. Something impossible.
Is it this world or the other that's the dream? And even if the home he remembers is real, how can Jason possibly make it back to the family he loves? The answers lie in a journey more wondrous and horrifying than anything he could've imagined – one that will force him to confront the darkest parts of himself even as he battles a terrifying, seemingly unbeatable foe.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Professor Jason Dessen’s normal life changes forever when he’s abducted by a stranger in this sci-fi-tinged thriller. He wakes up to a strange world: The people he knows are there, but their relationships are different; he’s still a physicist, but he’s had a completely different career. Master of the psychological thriller Blake Crouch (the Wayward Pines Trilogy) crafts a nail-biting tale laced with quantum-mechanical quandaries and tantalising twists. But even as Jason’s crisis had us wondering which world was real and which was a dream, the story smartly circled around the broader theme of finding your place in an uncertain world. Expert narrator Jon Lindstrom adds tremendous dimension to this tale, using his versatile voice to heighten the story’s ever-increasing tension. You don’t need to know anything about physics to get wrapped up in this reality-bending thriller.
