 "One of the most elegant and moving time travels stories ever written" - Ernest Cline

"...exciting and thought-provoking" - Kat Hooper, Fantasy Literature

At forty-three Jeff Winston is stuck in a rut. He hopes for better things, for some happiness, maybe tomorrow...

A sudden, fatal heart attack changes everything, and he wakes to find he's eighteen-years-old, again... and again... and again... Jeff embarks on a continuous twenty-five-year cycle - complete with memories from each previous iteration - looking to find what he craves for in life, and in love.

A novel of gripping adventure and romance, and a fascinating speculation on the nature of time. Replay asks the question: "What if you could live your life over again?©2019 Ken Grimwood (P)2019 Orion Publishing Group Fiction Genre Fiction Literary Fiction Psychological Romance Science Fiction Supernatural Suspense Thriller & Suspense Time Travel Paranormal Exciting

Critic reviews

"In 1986 (seven years before the release of the film Groundhog Day), Grimwood published this riveting novel about a man who dies of a heart attack and then wakes up in his college dorm room 25 years earlier. He discovers that he has the chance to live his life over again. And again. And again. This is one of the most elegant and moving time travels stories ever written. A thrilling adventure that also explores the nature of destiny and the human experience." (Ernest Cline, author of READY PLAYER ONE)

"I didn't just love Replay, I believed in it, I dreamed of it ... I also discovered that I wasn't only believer; at the time, there were fan sites dedicated to Replay. Hundreds of people - like the fellow replayers we never realize are out there - were all dreaming my same dream" (Brad Meltzer)

So glad I bought this book. A little like Ground Hog Day but with a life span rather than a day.
Hope there will be a sequel.

Brilliant original story

Listened to this book in 2 sittings, over 22 hours. What an incredible insight into the human condition of love, loss, regret and ‘what if.’ One of my most engrossing and engaging reads ever and incredibly intellectual, whilst being entertaining via a great performance. Can’t recommend enough.

I think that we have all thought that we would do things differently if we had our time again. This book explores that idea to the greatest extent possible.

The protagonist was interesting. The author has allowed him to have flaws and he feels very human.

Thoughtful and fresh SF, well worth the time.

A fresh twist on time travel

I enjoyed everything about this book, the characters, the plot, the pacing, the prose and the ending.

Instant favourite

The first book in a very long time to capture my imagination and full attention. I am so glad that the main subject matter of this story remained a mystery. There was no cheap attempt to rationalise the phenomenon. It was just what it was and it was brilliant! I’ll never forget this one.

Outstanding
