Dark Matter by Blake Crouch

Dark Matter: A Novel

By Blake Crouch

Extended Synopsis

In Dark Matter, bestselling author Blake Crouch delivers a mind-blowing speculative thriller that challenges the very fabric of reality. Jason Dessen, an ordinary physics professor, is kidnapped and knocked unconscious, only to awaken in a world that is inexplicably different. In this new reality, his wife is not his wife, his son was never born, and he is not a teacher but a celebrated genius who has achieved the impossible: travel between parallel universes.

Jason’s journey becomes a frantic race through a labyrinth of alternate lives as he struggles to find the way back to his true family. Crouch expertly blends high-concept science fiction with a grounded, emotional narrative about choices and the lives we dream of. It is a harrowing exploration of the human condition and a riveting action-adventure that asks: Are you happy with your life?
