On Christmas Day in 1893, every man, woman and child in a remote gold mining town disappeared, belongings forsaken, meals left to freeze in vacant cabins; and not a single bone was ever found. One hundred thirteen years later, two backcountry guides are hired by a history professor and his journalist daughter to lead them into the abandoned mining town so that they can learn what happened. With them is a psychic, and a paranormal photographer—as the town is rumored to be haunted. A party that tried to explore the town years ago was never heard from again. What this crew is about to discover is that twenty miles from civilization, with a blizzard bearing down, they are not alone, and the past is very much alive.

St. Martin's Paperbacks

A mindbending, relentlessly surprising thriller from the author of the bestselling Wayward Pines trilogy. “Are you happy with your life?” Those are the last words Jason Dessen hears before the masked abductor knocks him unconscious. Before he awakens to find himself strapped to a gurney, surrounded by strangers in hazmat suits. Before a man Jason’s never met smiles down at him and says, “Welcome back, my friend.” In this world he’s woken up to, Jason’s life is not the one he knows. Hiswife is not his wife. His son was never born. And Jason is not an ordinary college physics professor, but a celebrated genius who has achieved something remarkable. Something impossible. Is it this world or the other that’s the dream? And even if the home he remembers is real, how can Jason possibly make it back to the family he loves? The answers lie in a journey more wondrous and horrifying than anything he could’ve imagined—one that will force him to confront the darkest parts of himself even as he battles a terrifying, seemingly unbeatable foe. Dark Matter is a brilliantly plotted tale that is at once sweeping and intimate, mind-bendingly strange and profoundly human—a relentlessly surprising science-fiction thriller about choices, paths not taken, and how far we’ll go to claim the lives we dream of.

Es apenas una primera ola provocada por un sorprendente descubrimiento. Y lo que está en juego no es nuestra salud mental, sino el tejido mismo del tiempo. &nbsp; En Nueva York, el detective Barry Sutton está a punto de descubrir la verdad. Y en un laboratorio remoto, la neurocientífica Helena Smith no se ha percatado de que ella tiene la clave del misterio, y las herramientas para revertir la catástrofe. &nbsp; Juntos, Barry y Helena deben confrontar a su enemigo... antes de que ellos mismos, y el mundo entero, queden atrapados en un caótico bucle sin control. &nbsp; "Blake Crouch ha establecido las reglas de una nueva realidad.&nbsp;Recursión&nbsp;va más allá de las grandes ideas para examinar los efectos que tienen en un mundo más grande y complejo". -Jason Sheehan, NPR ENGLISH DESCRIPTION NEW YORK TIMES&nbsp;BESTSELLER * From the&nbsp;bestselling author of&nbsp;Dark Matter&nbsp;and the Wayward Pines trilogy comes a relentless thriller about time, identity, and memory--his most mind-boggling, irresistible work to date,&nbsp;and the inspiration for Shondaland's upcoming Netflix film.
