Free Audiobook : Dark Matter, by Blake Crouch

Jason Dessen’s got a quiet life, a physics prof with a wife and kid, until one night he’s yanked out of it by a guy with a gun and a mask. That’s where "Dark Matter" by Blake Crouch kicks off, throwing you into a whirlwind where Jason wakes up in a world that’s his but not, surrounded by people who know him as someone he’s never been. It’s a gut-punch of a setup, all about what happens when the life you love gets swapped for something stranger.

Jon Lindstrom narrates this audiobook with a voice that’s got this perfect mix of panic and grit, pulling you into Jason’s head as he scrambles to figure out what’s real. Crouch takes quantum physics and spins it into a thriller that’s less about geeky details and more about the raw fight to get back home, with every choice splitting into a new kind of chaos. It’s fast, it’s tense, and it keeps you guessing as the stakes climb higher than you’d ever expect.

When it’s over, you’re left buzzing, like you’ve just stepped off a ride you didn’t see coming. This isn’t your average sci-fi, it’s a heart-racing chase through lives that could’ve been, wrapped in a love story that hits hard. If you’re into listens that mess with your mind and keep your pulse up, this one’s a slam dunk.
