Okay my mind is blown! Wow, I picked this one up yesterday and I really couldn't stop turning the pages. One of the most unusual thought-provoking novels that I have read in some time. DARK MATTERS poses the question to its readers "Is my life all that it could have been? What if I would have done things differently?" It's the story of Jason Dessen who seems to have a perfect life with his wife and 14-year old son. But then one night on his way home from a bar, he is kidnapped and sent to an unknown world. So who was his kidnapper and what was his motive? Will Jason be able to find his old life again? The novel delves into theory involving quantum mechanics and the possible existence of parallel universes or multiverses (science way over my head) but the story is told in such a compelling way that anyone reading this will be struggling along with the protagonist trying to find a way home. This was one of the best novels I have read in recent years and now I want to read Crouch's Wayward Pines trilogy as well (I saw the TV series production of this last year). Very high overall recommendation for this one!
