Dark Matter - A sci-fi thriller that is way too fun to put down!
Jason Dessen is walking home one night when he realizes he is being followed. A strange man in a geisha mask abducts him at gunpoint, drives him to an abandoned building, takes his phone and clothes, and injects him with a strange drug.
When Jason wakes up, he’s surrounded by strangers congratulating him for something he’s supposed to have achieved. In this world he’s not a college professor - they say he’s created something that seems impossible. He looks for his wife - but in this world she says she’s not his wife. His son was never born.
Is this world real, or a dream? And no matter what this place is, how can he get back to the people he loves?
Or you can watch the episode on YouTube if you prefer video.
We also launched three new things this week!
- A website - hugonauts.org - where you can read written reviews & see related books!
- A Hugonauts book club discord to talk about books together (and everything else)! We're giving away 8 great sci-fi books to kick off the channel, enter to win on the discord channel.
- Providing links to buy the books we recommend. It doesn't cost you any extra, but a percentage of anything you buy after clicking these links goes to the show, and the support really means a lot!
