Dark Matter
Chicago physics professor Jason Dessen is abducted and wakes in a life where his family does not exist and his abandoned scientific ambitions have made him famous. The device responsible opens paths through alternate realities shaped by choices, forcing Jason to navigate versions of the world that are close to his own but dangerously wrong. Returning to his wife and son becomes both a scientific problem and a test of what he values most. Fast, twisty, and emotionally grounded, this multiverse thriller is built for a stormy night and readers who want big speculative ideas moving at chase-scene speed.
