Some people travel through time.
Rhys Cardew edits it.
Deep beneath the city's glittering towers, Rhys makes impossible mistakes disappear. Regrets are erased. Arguments never happen. One disastrous hour becomes another. His clients walk away believing their lives have always unfolded exactly as they remember.
The secret is simple.
Fork the timeline.
Rewrite the smallest possible moment.
Merge the better version.
No one ever knows the difference.
Then Rhys discovers a seam he didn't create.
Someone else has been editing reality.
When a routine job to erase a single day uncovers a woman who should not exist inside the timeline he's rewriting, everything he believes about his profession begins to unravel. Delphine Marsh is a courier with a flawless record, but she remembers things no one should remember. Worse, she is trapped inside a branch of reality that was never meant to survive.
Together they uncover a conspiracy reaching from the criminal underworld of the Undercut to the powerful corporation that quietly controls every edit ever made. Every correction has left invisible scars. Entire lives have been rewritten. People have vanished without anyone realizing they ever existed.
And someone has decided Rhys and Delphine should be next.
As the city itself begins to fracture under the weight of countless hidden edits, they face an impossible choice: preserve the perfect reality everyone believes in...or restore the truth and risk collapsing the world built on its lies.
Because every timeline has a winner.
Every merge creates a loser.
And once reality decides which version survives, there is no going back.
Perfect for readers of Blake Crouch, Daniel Suarez, and Michael Crichton, Rollback is a gripping science fiction thriller packed with ingenious world-building, relentless suspense, unforgettable twists, and thought-provoking questions about memory, identity, and the true cost of rewriting the past.
What if your greatest regret could be erased...but the price was someone else's existence?
