When a spacecraft crashes on a planet with a poisoned atmosphere, Thea and her team have ten days to find it before it's too late for possible survivors. It should be an easy mission, but the monsters she faces are not all from her planet's ecosystem.

A collage of images in blue, white, black, and grey, with text superimposed on them: "When a spacecraft crashes on a world with a posioned atmosphere, two teams from rival cities are sent after it. They face the hostile ecosystem, thenpolitics between their respective cities, and bosses with perwonal agendas, in a race to find it first. They have ten days before it's toonlate for possible survivors." "Abilities for a chosen few" "Cinematic fights" "Planet will kill you" "Domed cities/nomads" "Friends to enemies" "Enviro suits/ altered bodies" "Betrayed trust/ loyalty under scrutiny" "Multiple POV" " QUOTES One's irrational fears weren't supposed to materialeze. A palm's length away, the darkness moved. Golden particles swirled and bloomed between the tree trunks. They were coming. It's a tough world, out there, without smart suits, without changed bodies. They need to learn to respect that, and know their limits, and use their heads. Tell her what colourful things they call you, he said, and smiled, the way the wild things smile. You're not lost. Not yet. No more than I am."

Thea and her team have ten days to find a crashed spacecraft. But her last mission ended with her best friend's death, and she suspects her trusted, admired team leader might be responsible. The mission could be their last, unless Thea uncovers the truth, and makes the right choice.

Are you readying your manuscript to query agents? Preparing for this year’s RevPit event?

What better way to know if your query and first 5 pages have what it takes to stand out in the slush pile than to get an editor’s eye on it?

We are hosting a #10Queries event, October 10th - October 24th!

The Viridian Sphere is many things: a sentient enchanted necklace that turns into swords and empowers wielders, a traveler through monster-filled mountains and magic lands, the narrator of the story itself. But all they want is to return home to their first champion.

Slow Horses x Life on Mars

When an intelligence agent is framed for the UK's role in a temporal disaster, he must clear his name and seal a lethal time rift - before a Russian spy from the future gets everyone killed.

Text reads: An Agent's Guide to: Out of Time By Gert Ramm Espionage/Time Travel/Thriller Images from Pixabay Dark blue background with a circular, time-delay image of the night-time stars. They resemble a time tunnel, or vortex. Text reads: 1972 is a rough year for intelligence officer Eddie Fletcher, and it’s only January. First he discovers the Cold War is really about time travel, then he’s framed for the UK’s role in a temporal disaster. Sealing a lethal time rift is the only way to clear his name - much easier said than done when he’s being hunted by the British government. Then there's a Russian spy on a mission so vital he’s travelled from 1997 to complete it.

The text in the left-hand panel reads: Themes: Loyalty Betrayal Sacrifice Power Trust The text in the right-hand panel reads: First page: His coat smelled of Hermès Caleche, a heady reminder of his last embrace with Friede. She was the reason he'd come to this forgotten place tonight, but he couldn't be distracted by her. Taking his eye off the ball would get him killed. Edmund Fletcher's attention snapped into focus as he forced his lover from his mind. He padded through the disused sewer, catching the occasional whiff of human effluent still lingering in the brickwork, his penlight illuminating a narrow arched tunnel stretching ahead into darkness. Water trickled down the walls to form black, glistening pools on the floor and he shivered, quickening his pace. It was always cold so far below ground, heavy snow in the streets above had lowered the temperature further. He'd used this labyrinthine system often enough to know the layout by heart. He was directly below the Berlin wall now, Soviet territory lay only thirty feet ahead. While he held East German security services in the highest esteem, after four years in the smuggling business he knew how to stay ahead of them. Images from Pixabay
