Where wealth, science, and the human spirit get one last chance to determine humanity's ultimate destiny. Despite the tragic events at Hanssen Scientific, Monique Durand and her newfound companions continue their search for the source of her compelling visions. Are they somehow linked to the secrets of dark matter, as Professor Hanssen is so desperate to believe? Or does the truth reach even deeper-into our Universe's past, and our planet's ultimate future? To find out, they'll need to outwit the Consortium, a secretive group of trillionaires who now have what they need to achieve their own, long-awaited end-game. Together, our unlikely heroes may finally have what it takes to break the Consortium's stranglehold. Assuming they don't strangle each other first. The adventure continues in book two of the award-winning Dark Matters trilogy. Praise for Dark Matters Foreword Reviews INDIEFAB Gold Medal Winner in Science Fiction Independent Publisher's IPPY Gold Medal Winner in Science Fiction NextGen Indie Book of the Year Winner in Science Fiction \"It's everything I love in a novel: scientific speculation, stunning action, and characters that leap off the page. But best of all, it combines all of the above into a seamless, thrilling story. Don't miss this debut!\" James Rollins, New York Times bestselling author of The Bone Labyrinth \"... nefarious and chilling ... that's what makes it a page-turner.\" FOREWORD REVIEWS \"An interesting premise...not your typical action oriented sci-fi adventure.\" SFFWORLD ABOUT THE BOOK Dark Matters is a thought-provoking technothriller, set in a world fully polarized by the rift between the haves and the have-nots. It is a world of extraordinary new technologies-but also one of dwindling natural resources, and an ever-swelling human population. Dark Matters offers a unique, entertaining, and (mostly) fictional perspective on the topics of income inequality, the responsibilities of wealth, and our ultimate role in the universe. Dark Matters: Betrayal is the second book in the trilogy.
