Brilliant… I think Blake Crouch just invented something new. – Lee Child, author of the Jack Reacher series. From Blake Crouch, bestselling author of the Wayward Pines trilogy, Dark Matter is a mind-bending, profoundly human thriller about choices, alternate lives, and the lengths we’ll go to reclaim the ones we dream of—perfect for fans of Stranger Things and Ready Player One. Jason Dessen’s last memory is a question: “Are you happy in your life?” Then a masked man knocks him out. When he awakens, he’s strapped to a gurney, surrounded by strangers in hazmat suits. In this world, his wife isn’t his wife, his son was never born, and Jason is no ordinary physics professor—but a celebrated genius who has achieved the impossible. Which reality is real? And if home exists, how can Jason return to the family he loves? Dark Matter takes readers on a breathtaking, terrifying journey that forces Jason to confront the darkest parts of himself while battling a seemingly unbeatable foe.
