KIRKUS REVIEW
Brilliant quantum physicist turned family man is kidnapped and forced into an alternate universe where he must fight to return to the only life he knows and loves.
Jason Dessen lives a somewhat ordinary life with his beautiful wife and their teenage son. He lives this somewhat ordinary life because years ago he gave up his dreams of becoming a world-renowned quantum physicist when his now wife, Daniela, became pregnant with their now teenage son, Charlie. Jason is satisfied with how his life turned out, and rarely thinks of what could have been, until one night Jason decides to meet an old college buddy at a bar to celebrate this buddy winning a prestigious science award. While Jason is walking home from the bar, he is kidnapped and knocked unconscious by a masked assailant. When Jason wakes up, he is in exactly the same place he last remembers before blacking out, but everything around him is entirely different. His wife is no longer his wife, his son does not even exist, and he is no longer a college physics professor, but the award-winning quantum physicist he had once dreamt of becoming. Although this new life might seem ideal to some people, it is a nightmare to Jason, who just wants to get home to his real life and his real family. To make matters much worse, the people around him are beginning to question his authenticity, and Jason knows that he needs to get back to his own real world before its too late
Dark Matter is everything you could hope for in a sci-fi thriller. Suspenseful, exciting and emotional engaging - you won’t be able to put this book down until the very last page.
