FOLLOW-UP TO A SMASH HIT: Dark Matter was a New York Times bestseller and has sold more than 400,000 copies to date. It continues to move at an impressive clip, thanks to incredible ongoing bookseller support and thousands of five-star consumer reviews.

DELIVERS FOR FANS: As he did in Dark Matter, here Blake tackles a classic science fiction trope in his own brilliant fashion, playing with themes of identity and nostalgia in ways you’ll never see coming—while keeping the story feeling grounded, approachable, and surprisingly heartfelt. It’s another cinematic, mind-bending, brilliantly plotted thriller as only Blake can deliver.

SUCCESS TO BUILD ON: Prior to Dark Matter, Blake’s Wayward Pines trilogy (published by Thomas & Mercer) had sold more than a million ebook copies—but physical distribution and media coverage were both extremely limited. With Dark Matter, we successfully introduced Blake’s work to hardcover readers and reviewers alike, and are positioned to keep building him into a true franchise name.

HOLLYWOOD BUZZ: Rights to Recursion sold to Netflix in a multistudio auction, with mega-producer Shonda Rhimes and director Matt Reeves developing both a feature film and a TV series around it.
