In colloquial language,'never you will' and 'you will never' are the same because the emphasis is on 'NEVER'.

I'm agree with vertika

Utsav said:   1 decade ago
Never and ever go immediately before the main verb.

ex-I never eat meat.

Exceptions are the verb be and modal verbs.

ex-I am never late.
I can never remember his name.

Yes @Utsav is right according to that the never in this sentence should be present before the verb get you will never get it back.

I thought it should be: If you were to lend him your book, you will not see it. Does that sound right?

Ever and never always go before main verb.

Sumanth said:   1 decade ago
Never actually refers here it wouldn't get back.

Then why should we use back again in sentence.

KarthikRaja said:   1 decade ago
"never" is the keyword for simple present tense, so we should not use it for "future tense".
