NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • OVER ONE MILLION COPIES SOLD • ONE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES’S BEST THRILLERS OF THE CENTURY • SEASON 2 NOW STREAMING ON APPLE TV+

A “mind-blowing” (Entertainment Weekly) speculative thriller about an ordinary man who awakens in a world inexplicably different from the reality he thought he knew—from the author of Upgrade, Recursion, and the Wayward Pines trilogy

“Are you happy with your life?”

Those are the last words Jason Dessen hears before the kidnapper knocks him unconscious.

Before he awakens to find himself strapped to a gurney, surrounded by strangers in hazmat suits.

Before a man he’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 professor but a celebrated genius who has achieved something remarkable. Something impossible.

Is it this life or the other that’s the dream? And even if the home he remembers is real, how will Jason make it back to the family he loves?

From the bestselling author Blake Crouch, Dark Matter is a mind-bending thriller about choices, paths not taken, and how far we’ll go to claim the lives we dream of.

I enjoyed the story, the twists, the turns.

The narrator seemed to forget which voice he was supposed to use every once in a while, but it wasn’t too huge of a deal.

Good read, ok performer

Great Story! There are very few books that put me on the edge of my seat. The performance was good, the only thing that upset me was when Jason goes into a Taxi with a Somalian driver, the narrator did an East Indian Accent. Other than that, it was an excellent book, and I recommend this to everyone. I thought after listening to this audio book halfway that this would make an excellent movie adaptation, and I found out that they are making a limited series on Apple TV+. I can’t wait to watch it!

I was on the edge of my seat the entire time!

fast moving and exciting story. Some silly choices are made by the character but it propelled the story well.
The narration was very good but found he over pronounced the H in words like white and where and it drove me bonkers but otherwise great listen!

Action packed!
