Nev Bourne is a hotshot programmer for the latest and greatest tech invention out there: SavePoint, the brain implant that rewinds the seconds of all our most embarrassing moments. She’s been working non-stop on the next rollout, even blowing off her boyfriend, her best friend and her family to make SavePoint 2.0. But when she hits go on the test-run, she wakes up the next day only to discover it’s yesterday. She’s falling backwards in time, one day at a time.

As things spiral out of control, a long-lost friend from college reappears in her life claiming they know how to save her. Airin is charming and mysterious, and somehow knows Nev intimately well. Desperate and intrigued, Nev takes a leap of faith. A friendship born of fear slowly becomes a bond of deepest trust, and possibly love. With time running out, and the whole world of SavePoint users at stake, Nev must learn what it will take to set things right, and what it will cost.

“The authors infuse this plausible near future with clever science and heartwarming explorations of love and second chances. At the heart of this brilliant sci-fi conundrum is a deeply human story.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review

“Fascinating and compelling.”—Booklist

“A gripping and thought-provoking take on time travel, entangled with an emotional thread that will crack your heart open.”—Ren Hutchings, author of Under Fortunate Stars

Solaris to publish near-future time travel novel by R. A. Sinn

Solaris is thrilled to announce the acquisition of A Second Chance for Yesterday by R. A. Sinn, a near-future science fiction novel for fans of The Time Traveler’s Wife and This is How You Lose the Time War, for publication in August 2023.

Nev Bourne works for tech company Qbito whose brain implants can rewind time by five seconds. When the new upgrade she’s been finalising moves her back in time each day, towards her miserable youth and inevitable end, her only hope for help is Airin, a nonbinary hacker from her past.

World All Languages Rights were acquired by Jim Killen from Jennie Goloboy at the Donald Maas Agency.

Author R. A. Sinn on the acquisition:

“We feel like we’ve found a true home at Rebellion, which is a champion of the intelligent, diverse, creative stories that most inspire us.”

Acquiring Editor Jim Killen:

“A Second Chance for Yesterday is a novel that feels very personal. This is a time travel novel that is both musings about quantum entanglement and a story of a woman’s journey of self-discovery and reflection on her life. It’s intriguing, heartfelt and bittersweet. And when I reached the end my first thought was that I wanted more.”

R. A. Sinn is the pseudonym for sister-and-brother writing team Rachel Hope Cleves and Aram Sinnreich. Rachel is a historian and Aram is a futurist. Despite their past disagreements about who’s trespassing onto whose side of the back seat, Rachel and Aram have always enjoyed making up stories together, and playing inside of the worlds they’ve built.
