Dark Matter

"Are you happy with your life?" These are the last words Jason Dessen hears before a masked abductor knocks him unconscious. When he wakes up, he is strapped to a gurney, surrounded by strangers in hazmat suits, and praised as a genius. In this reality, Jason is a celebrated physicist who achieved the impossible—a gateway to quantum multiverse. But in this world, he never married his wife, Daniela, and his son, Charlie, was never born. Is this alternate world a dream, or is his remembered family the illusion? To return to the life he loves, Jason must navigate an endless labyrinth of alternate realities and face the most dangerous enemy of all: different versions of himself who made different choices.
