I recently read Crouch's Pines and was pretty disappointed. Real life? Who cares? Shit is going down and I need answers!

You step into this world - this absolute mind fuck of a world that will tug at both your heart strings and your brain cells - and you don't want to come out until you know how it ends. It was overwhelming and scary, but oh so very gripping too.ĭark Matter is the kind of compelling 'I must know WTF is going on' book that makes you forget about everything else you had to do that day. I suppose we’re both just trying to come to terms with how horrifying infinity really is. Is it this world or the other that's the dream?Īnd 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.ĭark Matter is a brilliantly plotted tale that is at once sweeping and intimate, mind-bendingly strange and profoundly human-a relentlessly surprising science-fiction thriller about choices, paths not taken, and how far we'll go to claim the lives we dream of. And Jason is not an ordinary college physics professor, but a celebrated genius who has achieved something remarkable. In this world he's woken up to, Jason's life is not the one he knows. Those are the last words Jason Dessen hears before the masked abductor knocks him unconscious.īefore he awakens to find himself strapped to a gurney, surrounded by strangers in hazmat suits.īefore a man Jason's never met smiles down at him and says, 'Welcome back, my friend.' Jason Dessen is walking home through the chilly Chicago streets one night, looking forward to a quiet evening in front of the fireplace with his wife, Daniela, and their son, Charlie-when his reality shatters. A mindbending, relentlessly surprising thriller from the author of the bestselling Wayward Pines trilogy.
