Synopsis:
A mindbending,
relentlessly surprising thriller from the author of the bestselling Wayward
Pines trilogy
“Are you happy
with your life?”
Those are the
last words Jason Dessen hears before the masked abductor knocks him
unconscious.
Before he
awakens to find himself strapped to a gurney, surrounded by strangers in hazmat
suits.
Before a man
Jason’s never met smiles down at him and says, “Welcome back, my
friend.”
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.
Dark Matter is a brilliantly plotted tale that is at once sweeping
and intimate, mind-blindingly 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.
Review:
I tried a sample
of this book and ended up buying it because I had to know how the story ended. The
way it captured my attention with all the little details of Jason’s life and
how played out. I can’t go into too much detail without spoiling the whole book
but believe me when I say that you must read this one. I went into this one
with no expectations and not knowing much about science or biology except for
the basics.
The writing was extremely captivating and I couldn’t put the
book down. I hadn’t found a book like this that had drawn me in a long time. I hope
you enjoy it as much as I did!
