'Brilliant' - Lee Child, author of the Jack Reacher series.
'Masterful' - Harlan Coben, author of Nobody's Fool.
Jason Dessen has been abducted. His life has been stolen. To get it back, he will go on a journey more wondrous and horrifying than anything he could have possibly imagined. Dark Matter is a relentlessly surprising sci-fi thriller from Blake Crouch.
Now a major Apple TV+ series starring Joel Edgerton and Jennifer Connelly.
'Are you happy in your life?'
Those are the last words Jason Dessen hears before the masked abductor knocks him unconscious.
Before he awakes to find himself strapped to a gurney, surrounded by strangers in hazmat suits.
Jason's life is no longer 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.
Jason has created a box. Transport into infinite alternate universes - every possible outcome of his life, one behind each door. In this other life, Jason chose a door. And he stole the life he wanted.
If Jason Dessen wants his life back, he will have to find it among infinite possibilities. And he will have to battle a terrifying, seemingly unbeatable foe: himself.
From the author of the bestselling Wayward Pines trilogy, Dark Matter is mind-bendingly strange and profoundly human. Perfect for fans of Stranger Things and Ready Player One.

Brilliant. A book to remember. I think Blake Crouch just invented something new -- Lee Child, #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of the Jack Reacher series It's been a long time since a novel sucked me in and kept me turning pages the way this one did.

It's fast, smart, addictive - and the most creative, head-spinning novel I've read in ages -- Tess Gerritsen, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Gravity</i> It also might be the most helter-skelter, race-to-the-finish-line thriller you'll read all year * The Observer * Terse prose, strong characterisation and clever twists make for a quick, smart, engrossing read * Financial Times * Blake Crouch's Dark Matter is a mind-bending thriller of the first order, not merely a rollicking entertainment but a provocative investigation into the nature of second chances. I dare you to put it down, because I sure couldn't -- Justin Cronin, New York Times bestselling author of The Passage Trilogy Dark Matter is the kind of book the word "thriller" was coined for - it's a shooting star through multiple genres, posing fundamental questions about identity and reality before revealing itself as, at its core, a love story -- Joseph Finder, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Guilty Minds</i> and <i>Suspicion</i> An addictive read!
