Description:
'Splendid. I just think Blake Crouch invented something new.' - Lee Child, author of the series Jack Reacher.
From Blake Crouch, the author of the bestselling trilogy of Wayward Pines, Dark Matter is a brilliantly plotted tale that is at once sweeping and intimate, mind-bendingly strange and profoundly human – an implacably surprising thriller about choices, paths not taken, and how far we will go to claim the lives we dream of, perfect for fans of Stranger Things and Ready Player One.
'Do you feel content with your life? Jason Dessen hears those last words before the masked abductor knocks him unconscious. Then he wakes up to find himself clinging to a gurney, covered in hazmat suits by strangers. He's never seen the guy before, waves at him and says, 'Welcome back.' Jason's life in this world he's woken up to isn't the one he knows.
His partner is no friend of his. His son never was born. And Jason is not an ordinary professor of physics at the college, but a renowned genius who has accomplished something remarkable. An impossibility. Is that the dream, this world or the other?
And even though the home he remembers is real, how can Jason possibly make it back to his loved family? The answers lie in a more wondrous and frightening journey than anything he could have expected – one that will push him to face the darkest parts of himself even as he fights a horrific, almost unbeatable adversary.
