Story
All across the country, people are waking up to lives different than the ones they fell asleep to. Are they suffering from False Memory Syndrome, a mysterious, new disease that afflicts people with vivid memories of a life they never lived? Or is something far more sinister behind the fracturing of reality all around him? Miles away, neuroscientist Helena Smith is developing a technology that allows us to preserve our most intense memories and relive them. If she succeeds, anyone will be able to re-experience a first kiss, the birth of a child, the final moment with a dying parent.

Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Story
In a small town in Sweden it appears to be an ordinary day. But look more closely, and you'll see a mysterious masked figure approaching a bank. Two hours later, chaos has descended. A bungled attempted robbery has developed into a hostage situation - and the offender is refusing to communicate their demands to the police. Inside the building, fear quickly turns to irritation for the seven strangers trapped inside. But as the minutes tick by, they begin to suspect that the criminal mastermind holding them hostage might be more in need of rescuing than they are.

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?

So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

An epic story of survival at all odds and one of the most anticipated books of the year.

Beartown is a small town in a large Swedish forest. For most of the year it is under a thick blanket of snow, experiencing the kind of cold and dark that brings people closer together - or pulls them apart. Its isolation means that Beartown has been slowly shrinking with each passing year. But now the town is on the verge of an astonishing revival. A bright new future is just around the corner. Until the day it is all put in jeopardy by a single, brutal act. It divides the town into those who think it should be hushed up and forgotten, and those who'll risk the future to see justice done.

Publisher's Summary
'Are you happy in your life?'
Those are the last words Jason Dessen hears before the masked abductor knocks him unconscious. Before he wakes to find himself strapped to a gurney, surrounded by strangers in hazmat suits. Before the 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 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.
From the author of the best-selling Wayward Pines trilogy, Dark Matter is a brilliantly plotted tale that is at once sweeping and intimate, mind-bendingly strange and profoundly human - a relentlessly surprising thriller about choices, paths not taken, and how far we'll go to claim the lives we dream of.

worst of its kind
it doesn't get any sillier than this. The writing isn't all that bad. It even manages to captivates you at some level. It should be considered a fantasy novel and not a science fiction. Not even soft sci-fi at that.

Plot holes, scrambled science
What disappointed you about Dark Matter?
The main character is a genius who can't identify a plot point that everyone who has an interest in physics, let alone: superposition, would instantly recognise. I rank this 1.2 on the Peter Clines Can't Write Genius scale.
Has Dark Matter turned you off from other books in this genre?
I am much more weary of works by Blake Crouch.
Have you listened to any of Jon Lindstrom’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Lindstrom's performance is excellent.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Dark Matter?
I would have Crouch rewrite everything starting with Jason understanding the situation as soon as he pulled on the clothes. J-2 would grab the family and head to an alternate universe. There would be multiple J-2s trying to do the same thing including versions that want to help Jason.Crouch needs a tougher and smarter editor.

A great Thriller
The story builds up nicely. There is a vivid description given from the narrator that sucks you into the story almost immediately. This is done by good character descriptions where within a few chapters you really feel immersed in the main character plight and situation. From here the suspense builds to where you really are engaged to that state where you’re feeling. “ What’s going to happen next?”

WOW - This was a weird one
If you could sum up Dark Matter in three words, what would they be?
It's more than three words I know but - Initially confusing but quickly mesmerising to listen to as you start to understand the plot
What other book might you compare Dark Matter to, and why?
I cannot think of any other book that is anything like this one. A combination of thriller, adventure and sci-fi with a spot of romance thrown in for good measure.
What about Jon Lindstrom’s performance did you like?
I enjoyed listening to Jon's voice and I am pleased to say his "female" voices didn't grate on me as much as they usually do when read my a man. I have to say he really "became" the main character in my head as he was talking which I always take as a good thing - that point where you forget there is actually a narrator there and simply get caught up in the story.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
There were several places that really did make you feel for the main character who is excellently written and you come to believe you really know the man.
At several points I really felt that perhaps this novel wouldn't have a happy ending and I was surprised how much I wanted the main character to triumph in the end as I tend to enjoy stories with less conventional endings.
Any additional comments?
I'm not sure quite how to describe this book as the slightly sci-fi premise involved is a little complicated to start with and in the first few chapters the reader is really wondering what is going on as much as the main character is (in a good way, I might add)
If you enjoy a novel where you have to think then this one is likely to be for you, if you want an easy listen - maybe not.
That said it takes the reader through a distinct journey with the main character and in many places I really felt I was there with him. There are places I certainly wouldn't have been able to press the pause switch for sure.
Definitely worth taking a chance on if you are not familiar with this author as I wasn't at the time I bought it.

If you could sum up Dark Matter in three words, what would they be?
Gripping, ingenious, entertaining.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Dark Matter?
The disorientation of the main character when transported to an alternate world was handled brilliantly.
What about Jon Lindstrom’s performance did you like?
Great performance. had to be as the book is written from a first person point of view. Ably mimicked the other characters well enough to get a sense of their personalities as written.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Absolutely. Couldn't get enough.
Any additional comments?
Wonderfully entertaining listen that sets the imagination on fire with the possibilities of alternate universe’s and the path one’s life could take if different decisions are made. Highly recommended.

Gripping
Fast paced, excellent listen, and superb story. A lead character that you care about and a fantastic glimpse into the multiverse

Very good concept - well read
Interest thriller about how multiple universes connect and the interaction between them. The main character sometimes seems to be a bit dim for an award winning physicist, I think that shows how involved you get in the story though.
All in all a cracking listen and good story to boot!

Just do it
Would you listen to Dark Matter again? Why?
Yes, I would. It was a great story and very well read by Jon Lindstrom
What was one of the most memorable moments of Dark Matter?
The part where he meets another version of himself for the first time. He's naked, dirty, then stops and screams in his face. Really creepy!
Which character – as performed by Jon Lindstrom – was your favourite?
Jason 1
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Gripping
Any additional comments?
It's almost what Inception (movie) should have been. I absolutely loved this.

Bloody dreadful!
Takes an interesting premise and turns it into a mushy, soggy pudding of a story .. And the least said about the ending the better!

gripping, fast paced, extremely enjoyable
This was the first book I have listened to by Blake Crouch. I am very impressed. It had me hooked from the start, and kept me looking forward to the next installment.
Jon Lindstrom is an excellent narrator - so good that I have actively sought out other books based on him narrating.
The characters in the book really come alive and you can feel a connection with them.
The story line was superb and threw a quantity of 'curve balls', keeping you on your toes.
I found it a little too intense to listen to before bed as it really keeps the adrenaline flowing!
Now enjoying one of Blake's other books 'Pines'.

Great idea, unfortunately very poorly executed.
As a fan of dystopian fiction, sci-fi and, in particular, quantum sci-fi, time travel etc and so forth, I thought that the premise of this story was great. However, it was so poorly executed that it was a real effort to get through. I very rarely 'dump' books and usually ensure that I listen to every last word of an audiobook to take it all in, but I was so close to giving up on this book at so many points and only continued as I thought it might get better. It didn't.
The science was so iffy that I didn't just have to suspend my belief (a regular habit for a fan of quantum sci-fi etc), but I had to suspend the full function of my ears during the supposed 'scientific' parts.. I eventually managed to phase myself out during these parts and didn't worry that I didn't take any of it in as I knew I wasn't missing anything of any importance or real relevance to the story.
As far as the rest of the book goes, the characterisation was weak - I didn't feel anything at all for the characters - the story was basic and painfully contrived, and the prose often felt like poor teen fiction. However, there were quite a few unnecessary uses of strong four-letter expletives which would be unsuitable for a minor (again, I quite like strong expletives in books but only when they add something to the concept/story!). The narration was okay, just about, but the narrator had a very tough job making this story sound anywhere near something good.
Overall, having managed to finish this book, I feel a bit like how I imagine Schrödinger's cat must have felt after the box trial... either dead or, at the very least, rather grouchy.

Awesome
A grippingly real expedition into the depths of the uncanny and infinite. Highly recommended, especially for fans of Coherence, Inception, and psychedelics

Sci Fi written by a Wannabe Romance writer
Ok well story was average. Full of plot holes and things that should have taken the story somewhere else. I ended up hating the main character. The biggest cringe factor was the overuse of sexual encounters and descriptions. Kinda like the author was planning to write a romance novel that leant too much towards sci fi. I found myself rolling my eyes consistently in the second half at how cheesy it was. Really focused on the wrong things in the story. The narrator was ok but I wonder if my hatred for the main character influenced my score. I must admit I just came off Stormlight archive so this book had big shoes to fill and didn’t even fill the big toe. Sorry author.

10hrs flew by! Loved this book!
What did you like most about Dark Matter?
I have always been interested in string theory... so this book caught my attention early on with subject matter alone. Once I found out it was written by the dude who wrote Wayward Pines, I downloaded and was instantly sucked in.
What did you like best about this story?
I thought while reading.. oh yeah, I know where this is going, but it was so good I kept reading. It ended up blowing my mind!
Which character – as performed by Jon Lindstrom – was your favourite?
Jon Lindstrom did an excellent job at narrating this. Very captivating!
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Super surprisi
