Book One stands alone. Do not attach the slide deck unless they ask. Manuscript and bible go on request.
Dear Agent, I am seeking representation for my completed adult science fiction novel, Billy Thinx and the First Shadow (approximately 115,000 words), Book One of the Billy Thinx Saga — six completed novels, one companion chronicle, and a seventh novel in progress. In the tradition of The Expanse and Stargate, this novel is a survival thriller that opens into a mythology — held together by a man and a dog who will not quit each other. Logline: A thirty-two-year-old Colorado geologist falls through the Rockies into an ancient war, wakes a dormant Codex in his blood, and learns that hidden governors have ruled Earth for millennia. His red heeler felt it first. While hiking the Colorado backcountry, thirty-two-year-old geologist Billy Thinx is chased into a forgotten shaft and uncovers a Draconian stronghold — alien overlords who have sat behind human faces for millennia. Gravely injured, he is saved by Luriel, a Pleiadian envoy, and by a red heeler named Sydney who felt the spiral before he had a name for it. What wakes in his blood is the Codex: not a weapon, a remembrance. An interstellar council will not crown him. They will see whether a man who has seen the chairs will name them. Billy Thinx and the First Shadow stands alone. It also opens a series that moves from hidden governors, to a human ideology that survives defeat, to a war against manufactured reality itself. I am the author of The Time Blanket and other works of metaphysical fiction and spiritual non-fiction. I would be happy to provide the complete manuscript, the extended synopsis, or the series bible upon request. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Steve Irwin stevetimeblanket@gmail.com Nashville, Tennessee
