The novel “Dark Matter” by Blake Crouch was published for the first time in 2016.

Jason Dessen is about to return home to spend the evening with his wife Daniela and their son Charlie when he’s kidnapped by a mysterious man. Drugged and locked in a place he doesn’t know, he wakes up in a research facility where people tell him that he’s the only one who has returned.

Confused to say the least, Jason tries to understand why the people around him expect scientific revelations from him. Years ago, he had worked as a quantum physicist, but for a long time, he has been a university teacher. Even worse, he seems to be unmarried. He goes in search of Daniela, but the situation becomes dangerous.
