If you’re standing in front of your bookshelf and scratching your head. Wondering what to read next.
Look no further!
Do I have the best recommendation for you?
Dark Matter by Blake Crouch is a sci-fi thriller that makes us consider a very important question.
If you could do it again, what would you do differently?
Let’s start with Jason.
His life is seemingly perfect. He has a strong, independent & beautiful wife who loves her.
A teenager son who is not rebelling against his parents. And a good enough job.
Perfect, right?
Wrong!
Ever had those days?
Where you are dragged down by your regrets, all the doubts taking a piggyback ride on your shoulders?
Well Jason is having one of those days. The reason is apparent. His college friend has won the award for excellence, which in another life Jason could’ve achieved.
Does he regret it?
Well, wouldn’t you?
Here comes the absolutely smashing part of Dark Matter..
Which, by the way, starts right from the first chapter.
A friendly advise: Don’t start it if you don’t have a few hours on your hands because believe it when I say that
You Will Not Be Able To Put It Down!
Hate to use the cliche but it is an absolute roller coaster thrill ride, down the tunnel and into the pits of parallel universes!
Oopsie .. Too much Dark Matter swirling in me
What happens when Jason, unknowingly trades life with himself?
The author does a brilliant job of building up confusion and doubts for Jason in his new life. Plunging the readers into the dark pits of unease, anticipation and the thirst to know what’s happening.
It takes Jason a while to figure out what was going on with him, and with the help of Amanda escapes the parallel universe where his clone?? doppleganger?? had made drastically different choices, leading him to a critically acclaimed career and
That’s All.
Jason is flabbergasted. No surprises there.
Soon, it becomes a matter of life and death. And all Jason has is his wits to get Amanda and himself out of the line of fire. And to reach his wife and son on time.
But will it be too late?
Moment of the Book!!
Jason considers his own line of logic, logs in to the chat room as a guest and is welcomed by the SHOCK OF HIS LIFE
One thing’s for sure. I’ll be getting my hands on a few multiverse theory books in near future. Heard Stephen Hawking has a lot to say on the subject 😉
So, what are you waiting for?
