He acted like he didn’t recognize me, but I know he did. He was living in a mansion out on Long Island. Think how they’ll feel.” “I tracked Joe down,” Ann says. Think about the people in your life who love you. “ Don’t come any closer.” “You are not alone.” “I am very fucking alone.” “ I’ve only known you a few minutes, and I will be devastated if you do this. Do you get that? He’s just a beautiful misfire in my brain.” Barry ventures another step toward her, but she catches him this time. I can’t fake it anymore.” Tears carve trails through her eyeliner.

And a fond shout-out to the bar at the stellar Longman & Eagle in Logan Square (Chicago), where the shape and identity of Dark Matter literally emerged from the fog.Īnd saving-the-best-for-last thanks to my family: Rebecca, Aidan, Annslee, and Adeline. Special thanks to my writing partner and great friend, Chad Hodge my brother from the same mother, Jordan Crouch my brothers from different mothers, Joe Konrath and Barry Eisler the lovely Ann Voss Peterson and my big-idea soul mate Marcus Sakey, who, while I was visiting Chicago two years ago, helped me spot the potential of this book in a sea of foundering ideas, and encouraged me to write it in spite of how much it scared me. My early readers suffered through multiple drafts and gave me indispensable feedback along the way. In particular, Michio Kaku’s elegant analogy of a pond, carp, and hyperspace informed my understanding of dimensionality and became the basis of Jason2’s explanation of the multiverse to Daniela. Stephen Hawking, Carl Sagan, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Michio Kaku, Rob Bryanton, and Amanda Gefter were instrumental in helping me begin to understand all things quantum. I could not have written Dark Matter without the work of many physicists, astronomers, and cosmologists who have dedicated their lives to seeking fundamental truths about the nature of our existence.

If I’ve said anything wrong, it’s my bad. The physics and astronomy professor Clifford Johnson, Ph.D., helped me to not look like a total idiot in discussing the broad-stroke concepts of quantum mechanics. Dark Matter would be a shadow of itself without her insight. Jacque Ben-Zekry edited all my Wayward Pines novels, and even though this wasn’t her book, she gave it the same care and attention as if it were. And also to Michael De Luca and Rachel O’Connor, who were wonderful champions for the book early on. Huge thanks to Matt Tolmach, Brad Zimmerman, David Manpearl, Ryan Doherty, and Ange Giannetti at Sony. I couldn’t ask for a stronger group trying to make Dark Matter, the movie, a reality. And a second thank you to my genius editor, Julian Pavia, who pushed me as hard as I’ve ever been pushed and made this book better on every page.
