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.

Secret service agent Ethan Burke arrives in Wayward Pines, Idaho, with a clear mission: locate and recover 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. The medical staff seems friendly enough, but something feels...off. As the days pass, Ethan’s investigation into the disappearance of his colleagues turns up more questions than answers.

Story
'Somebody's going to be murdered at the ball tonight. It won't appear to be a murder, and so the murderer won't be caught. Rectify that injustice and I'll show you the way out.' It is meant to be a celebration, but it ends in tragedy. As fireworks explode overhead, Evelyn Hardcastle, the young and beautiful daughter of the house, is killed. But Evelyn will not die just once. Until Aiden - one of the guests summoned to Blackheath for the party - can solve her murder, the day will repeat itself over and over again.

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.

Story
When Chen's parents are incinerated before his eyes by a blast of ball lightning, he devotes his life to cracking the secret of this mysterious natural phenomenon. The more he learns, the more he comes to realise that ball lightning is just the tip of an entirely new frontier in particle physics. Although Chen's quest provides a purpose for his lonely life, his reasons for chasing this elusive quarry come into conflict with soldiers and scientists who have motives of their own.
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.

Gripping story. Great narration!
I was on a science binge so decided to look up science books. I came across this book thinking it would at least delve a little into Dark Matter, as the title states. It doesn't. But the story is great, keeps you on the edge of the seat and right up until the end you're left to wonder how it's going to end. 10/10 narration too!

Si-fi, emotional growth and mystery all in one ...this book has taken the place of my favourite book.

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.

This book is so intense and nerve racking. The Author takes you down the rabbit hole of Jason wonderland and if you do not "tie" yourself to Jason you will get lost.
The narrator Jon Lindstrom does an outstanding job. Brings that story and characters alive.

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.

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'.

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.

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!

Wow! Best book I've ever read
read it in two days, such an amazing depth to the story. only bone of contention was that Daniella was too perfect, a little unnerving. I would highly recommend this book to anyone

Not what I expected after the first few chapters
Bit of a rollercoaster for me - brilliant start to the story, the kind that gets you completely gripped. Once the sci-fi takes over it can confuse your brain if you are a bit daft like me but after a few weird chapters it settles back down and becomes a thriller again. Not the 5 stars I'd hoped for after reading reviews but a cracker nonetheless. Wayward Pines a far better story for me.

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 surprising!

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

Excellent. Really imaginative towards the second half. Lots to think about. Sliding doors type of thing.

Dystopian mystery with life message
The premise of the story is very thought provoking. Some good twists. Encourages the reader to put themselves in the shoes of the main character.

Love this bloke
Blake Crouchs' books are always unpredictable. Every time I read one of his books, my mind is constantly coming up with a dozen possible scenarios. Every person that picks up a book, tries to predict the ending. When it is predictable, the book is said to be 'predictable' and we are tempted to put it down. Crouch has never failed to produce a book, I cant put down.

Edge of my seat
The story line is super inventive, and I feel like I’ve been dragged through hell with the main character. My only criticism is that I feel the main character could have been a bit more engaged with his son, who appears to be an afterthought who barely registers as a loss throughout most of the book. I also feel like the main character is incredibly stoic, there are moments when he surely would have wept but somehow just remains dry and unmoved beyond the endless stress. But overall, an incredible story, beautifully paced and guaranteed to haunt my mind for some time!
