Jeff Winston dies of a heart attack at forty-three and wakes up in his college dorm room, eighteen years old, with everything he knows intact.

Shelf note: The time-loop novel so much that came after borrowed from, and still one of the most moving.

He plays it perfectly the second time. He bets on the right horses, buys the right stocks, marries the right woman, builds the fortune he always wanted. Then, at forty-three, he dies of a heart attack again and wakes up in the dorm room.

And again. And again. Each cycle returns him a little later than the last, with a little less runway. He tries hedonism, philanthropy, fame, obscurity, love. He goes looking for others like him and finds one.

Winner of the 1988 World Fantasy Award for Best Novel, Replay is a time-loop story about second chances. What sets it apart is that it isn't a puzzle to solve. Jeff never learns the rules. He just has to decide what a life is worth living for when you've already tried everything.
