Every single decision we make has a potential outcome not chosen; what if we could access the infinite alternate realities created by each choice? 

This one is a page-turner and a brain-scrambler. I'm already fascinated by the idea of the multiverse, and this book delves into the potential danger and dark side of accessing other worlds. The story took a quick turn away from my expectations, which kicked off enough twists and turns to, well, populate the multiverse. Fascinating and fast-paced from beginning to end!

I received this book as a Goodreads giveaway. And I must say this was a fantastic novel. The mixture of sci-fi and thriller worked wonderfully. This kept me on the edge of my seat until my eyes were blurry from reading for too long. I highly recommend this book.

From the author of the Wayward Pines trilogy comes the eerie tale of Professor Jason Dessen. He has an adoring wife, Daniela, and a fifteen-old-son, Charlie who he loves very much. His life was perfect…until he wakes up naked and tied to a gurney, surrounded by people in lab coats. He quickly learns he was abducted but remembers little else. Jason fears he will never see his family again. Fans of Gone Girl will eat this one up!

Thanks to Penguin Random House for a review copy of this book.
