This is the query I have begun to send out to agents in hopes of getting my first novel published, as I complete the final edits with input from beta readers:
I am a first time author who has recently finished a 101,000 word science/historical fiction thriller titled 3G2.
This adult novel explores the nature of a man living in contemporary society with exceptional superhuman capabilities, the origins of his power, and the forces hell bent on eliminating the threat he poses to society.
Eli Gould is an attorney living in Chicago who learned one afternoon ten years ago that he possessed an incredible power. Since that day he has learned the skills necessary to be seemingly invincible under even the most dire circumstances, but he doesn't know about a campaign older than the Cold War to eliminate the threat his power poses until late one night when those waging it manage to nearly kill him.
By the end of this mystery thriller, which jumps between 1944-45 at Camp Dachau and 2004 in Chicago, DC, Atlanta and Budapest, the actions that Eli takes will make the reader debate whether he is good or bad, and the actions that normal people take to protect him might change the reader's opinion about which character is the real superhuman.
3G2 is part of a trilogy, made somewhat obvious by various inferences throughout the book, in addition to 3G1 and 3G3 (to be released in that order), which are both in the preliminary stages of production.
This novel has not been seen by any other agents, and I have yet to receive a copyright certificate.
There is no attachment to this e-mail. The manuscript will be sent upon request.
Thank you for your consideration,
Jon B. South
