Dark Matter by Blake Crouch

Summary

“Are you happy with your life?” Those are the last words Jason Dessen hears before the masked abductor knocks him unconscious. Before he awakens to find himself strapped to a gurney, surrounded by strangers in hazmat suits. Before a man Jason’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 physics professor but a celebrated genius who has achieved something remarkable--something impossible.

Is it this world or the other that’s the dream? And even if the home he remembers is real, how can Jason possibly make it back to the family he loves? The answers lie in a journey more wondrous and horrifying than anything he could’ve imagined—one that will force him to confront the darkest parts of himself even as he battles a terrifying, seemingly unbeatable foe.

Review

When I began this book, I thought I knew what it would be about, but I was pleasantly surprised by turns in the plot, as well as with how much 'science' was actually included in the story line as well. I think it was a great read, and makes you think about what really makes you, you. As with all of Blake Crouch's books, it has just the perfect amount of character development, mystery, and a slight fantasy/supernatural feel.
