HADRON Dark Matter: (Book 1) Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions

The discovery of dark matter changes everything. Now the lights are out. World governments are in hiding. Billions are dead in a worldwide famine, the number growing as supplies dwindle and clean water becomes scarce. Gangs control the cities. Roving marauders own the highways. Anarchy is the new law. And our newest enemy hasn't even arrived yet.

Across eight books, this chilling blend of apocalyptic sci-fi dares ask: Are you a survivor?

What are readers saying?
--I read the entire eight-novel HADRON series in six days. I couldn't stop reading even when I needed more sleep.--
--Stephen Arseneault has written a story that's hard to put down; with believable, well-crafted characters and believable scenarios of normal people caught in desperate circumstances. I like this first book so much I plan on ordering the entire series.--
--I liked it and it terrified me. As I read I know that this is exactly where the world will be in a short time. Made me realize I need some well armed and skilled friends--
--I normally only read hard sci-fi. After reading the 1st HADRON book, I still wasn't sure this was for me, but I had to find out what was happening next. Believe me, this story just keeps getting better and better!--

About the Author

I reside in Central Florida with the wife and two daughters. After thirty years in engineering, my time is now spent chronicling the adventures of fictitious heroes. They are off-world, fighting the good fight, keeping Man alive. For some it was meant to be their calling. For others... not so much. All however are willing to fight until the end. Flip open one of my books. Tag along as unlikely heroes try to conquer the galaxy or save all humanity. Get aboard as you're either with us or against us. This may be your ticket out of here... at least for a short while. Hope you have a great day!

One of the better books of this type I have read tells it like it probably would be. Characters are highly believable and realistic will definitely be eager to read the next books in the series and will be recommending it to friends.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not my cup of sodium!
Reviewed in Australia on 4 September 2018

I really loved the Amp,Sodium etc series from this author. I purchased the first novel in this series and was disappointed, I persevered through the second in the series with the same result. The story just didn’t live up to what I had grown used to from this author so I’m not buying any more books in this series.

Reviewed in Australia on 13 January 2017

Dark Matter draws you in from the first page, with the depths of intrigue luring your curiosity hungrily for more as our hero is disorientated at every turn. A world which clearly is alien. If you liked Blade Runner, The Minority Report, and the new Total Recall movies, then you will love this.

5.0 out of 5 stars and really enjoyed it, with its realistic description of how quickly ...
Reviewed in the United States on 20 May 2017
Verified Purchase
I just finished this book, and really enjoyed it, with its realistic description of how quickly civilization would break down following the loss of power and coms. In truth, simply the loss of power would be sufficient to drive most of the violence, allowing many people to regress to their basest behavior once the restraints posed by law enforcement (and the military) were removed. As was posited, most people would be completely unprepared, and in total denial - just as the sheriff of Union was portrayed. Obviously, the loss of communications would worsen the situation, since those agencies (federal, state, and local) which would try to respond to help would find it very difficult to coordinate and act in an effective manner. It would be very difficult for them to actually be effective, even with intact communications, as the lack of power and the loss of over 90% of all vehicles due to the "EMP"-like strike that occurred would make it impossible for the majority of people to subsist, especially as clean water and food became scarce.

The mix of characters was enjoyable, as well as some of the banter, and starting with well-equipped - and wealthy - protagonists was not an impediment for me. It enabled the author to show what could be done if a group managed to equip themselves appropriately. The story was also realistic in showing that even so equipped, there were situations where it simply wasn't possible to overcome the difficulties involved in dealing with large groups of predators, where a law enforcement or military intervention was necessary to save the day.

All around, a fun read. I look forward to continuing to read the series to see how the author develops - and then deals with - what appears to be the actions of an interstellar group of aliens who are responsible for the emanations that caused the current problems and damage to infrastructure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not a sci-fi book as I thought but a post apocalyptic novel and a quite one at that...
Reviewed in India on 30 July 2018

Not so nice read for a sci-fi fanatic like me. I was hoping more fictional matter. But it turned out to be a post apocalyptic novel. Quite interesting.

I liked the adventurous survival mumbo-jumbo in the book...

I won't reveal any spoilers...

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent series.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 August 2016

I have just finished reading the seven books in the series. The story moves at a blistering pace and the character building is superb. After being hooked in by the first free books, I have spent probably £15 on the remainder, which has kept my entertained for a good three weeks. Even an old scrooge like me considers this to be fantastic value for money. I was disappointed to come to the end and keenly await the completion of the 8th book. In the meantime I could easily re-read the series. It was that good.

The first book starts with two of the main characters having a drink in a bar. Soon rioting breaks out heralding the start of an apocalyptic situation, where the Earth is fought over by a dozen various alien species. However, the aliens get far more than they bargain for, as the remnants of humanity fight back. If you are prepared to suspend disbelief and part with a few pounds of your hard-earned, then this is a very rewarding read. Well done Mr Arseneault.

The best part about this book is its title, but it is misleading as the content is only about heroic goodies killing off masses of awful baddies. You keep hoping that a more interesting story might emerge, but forget it. OK for holiday reading provided the reader's IQ is not higher than 70.
