Dark Matter

The story begins with Jason Dessen's life being abruptly interrupted when a masked assailant renders him unconscious. Jason wakes to find himself strapped to a gurney, surrounded by people in hazmat suits, greeted by a stranger saying, "Welcome back." The world he now inhabits is completely unfamiliar: his spouse is not his spouse, and he has no son. Instead of being a regular college physics professor, he is regarded as a genius who has accomplished an unthinkable feat.Jason faces the bewildering question of whether this world or his previous life is the dream. And if his past is reality, how can he return to the family he cherishes? The journey to uncover these truths is more extraordinary and terrifying than he ever imagined, compelling him to face the most shadowy aspects of himself while contending with an alarming, formidable adversary. Crafted by Blake Crouch, the acclaimed author of the Wayward Pines trilogy, "Dark Matter" unfolds as a masterfully constructed narrative, both grand and intimate. It challenges the boundaries of reality with its astonishingly strange yet deeply human story, a suspenseful thriller exploring the consequences of choices, unexplored opportunities, and the lengths one will go to reclaim their desired life.
