A cracking tale of puckering timelines that shimmers with possibilities and blesses with impossibilities.--Clare Rhoden, author of The Chronicles of the Pale An innovative and gritty take on time travel, fate and entanglement. This story grabs the twin spirals of nostalgia and future-shock in one compelling bite.--Justina Robson, author of Glorious Angels and The Switch Beautifully disjointed and exquisitely nuanced, Bacon and Hook have deftly created a transgressive, dislocated narrative that will have readers losing hours with the efficiency of a time slip.--David Jeffery, author of the A Quiet Apocalypse series In Secondhand Daylight Eugen Bacon and Andrew Hook resettle readers beyond the laws of physics. They unsettle its foundations, fundamentals and possibilities in a universe where time travel scenarios hold 'no basis in scientific fact' and can 'only be psychological'. This is a bracingly versatile and provocative book.--Dominique Hecq, award-winning author, poet and translator Intriguing and poetic, this ambitious book combines hypnotic writing with a gritty cynicism reminiscent of William Gibson. Whether lost on the dance floor or to the mysteries of time, the story of the main characters' stubborn survivalism will pull you in and not let go.--KC Grifant, award-winning short story writer and author of Melinda West: Monster Gunslinger Secondhand Daylight is a joy. It hurtles along at a cracking pace, is relentlessly inventive and always emotionally engaging. Both Green and Zada are spiky, flawed but eminently likeable characters and the reader is quickly drawn to them and their individual plights.--Terry Grimwood, author of Interference Secondhand Daylight is written with the style and verve I've come to expect from Eugen Bacon and Andrew Hook.--Priya Sharma, award-winning author of All the Fabulous Beasts
