About this listen
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • COMING SOON TO 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.

Story
At first, it looks like a disease. An epidemic that spreads through no known means, driving its victims mad with memories of a life they never lived. But the force that’s sweeping the world is no pathogen. It’s just the first shock wave, unleashed by a stunning discovery - and what’s in jeopardy is not our minds but the very fabric of time itself. In New York City, Detective Barry Sutton is closing in on the truth - and in a remote laboratory, neuroscientist Helena Smith is unaware that she alone holds the key to this mystery...and the tools for fighting back.

Story
At first, Logan Ramsay isn’t sure if anything’s different. He just feels a little . . . sharper. Better able to concentrate. Better at multitasking. Reading a bit faster, memorizing better, needing less sleep. But before long, he can’t deny it: Something’s happening to his brain. To his body. He’s starting to see the world, and those around him—even those he loves most—in whole new ways. The truth is, Logan’s genome has been hacked. And there’s a reason he’s been targeted for this upgrade.

Story
Secret Service agent Ethan Burke arrives in Wayward Pines, Idaho, with a mission: locate two federal agents who went missing in the bucolic town one month earlier. But within minutes of his arrival, Ethan is involved in a violent accident. He comes to in a hospital, with no ID, no cell phone, and no briefcase. As the days pass, Ethan’s investigation turns up more questions than answers: Why can’t he get any phone calls through to his wife and son in the outside world? Why doesn’t anyone believe he is who he says he is?

Story
"Er du lykkelig i dit liv?". Det er det sidste spørgsmål, Jason Dessen hører, inden han mister bevidstheden. Inden han vågner fastspændt, omringet af folk i sikkerhedsdragter. Inden en fremmed bøjer sig over ham og siger: "Velkommen tilbage". Jason er vågnet i en verden, han ikke kan genkende. Hans kone er ikke hans kone. Hans søn er aldrig blevet født. Og han er ikke længere fysiklærer, men et hyldet geni, der har opnået noget utroligt. Noget alle troede var umuligt. Er det denne verden eller den anden, som er en drøm?

Story
Ali Morris is a professional organizer whose own life is a mess. Her mom died two years ago, then her husband left, and she hasn’t worn pants with a zipper in longer than she cares to remember. No one is more surprised than Ali when the first time she takes off her wedding ring and puts on pants with hardware—overalls count, right?—she meets someone. Or rather, her dog claims a man for her, in the same way he claimed his favorite of her three children: by peeing on him. Ethan smiles at Ali like her pants are just right—like he likes what he sees.

Story
The Cold Creek Highway stretches close to five hundred miles through British Columbia’s rugged wilderness to the west coast. Isolated and vast, it has become a prime hunting ground for predators. For decades, young women traveling the road have gone missing. Motorists and hitchhikers, those passing through or living in one of the small towns scattered along the region, have fallen prey time and again. And no killer or abductor who has stalked the highway has ever been brought to justice.

Good read, ok performer
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.

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

Action packed!
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!

Amazing story, disappointing narrator.
I was really turned off by the first half of this novel, but only because I had listened to Recursion previously. The parallels between the two were a bit too similar at first, and it was hard to look past it. After reassurance from another reader, and after listening in full, I absolutely loved it. I almost enjoyed it more than Recursion.
However, the way the narrator depicted the female characters was disappointing. I understand he was trying to differentiate between genders, but the soft airy voice he used made them sound weak and shallow - like the characters lacked depth and strength. This was almost too frustrating to listen to for this reason personally.

Good plot but writer over-sexualizes and makes things flat
It took a long time for the story to get going and it was confusing at first. I forced myself to keep going at times. The overall storyline was good but I love alternate dimension and time travel related stories.
It was very obvious it was written by a straight man and I say that in a negative way because how he writes about the female characters is so flat, over-sexualizes almost every encounter because he probably thinks that’s cool. He either makes the wife sound pure and perfect or like a sex object and not a person. It made me not want to continue. Amanda was ok but he only just skimmed the surface. He needs to understand women better or something because it feels like a huge week point along other things.
