Hey Look ... Summaries

For new stories!

-NaNo '07 Idea 1:

War has raged on the planet Farslow for a decade. Both the Syndicator forces and the Scions – self-proclaimed Heir of the Stars – are deadlocked, until a mysterious killer deals a deathblow to the Syndic base. It’s up to the Elite Tracker known only as Tark to solve the mystery before the secret, and the planet, is lost forever.


-NaNo '07 Idea 2:

The 20th Century brought Mankind a wondrous standard of living, impressive technologies, immense discoveries and unparalleled destructive wars. Yet, none of it would have come to pass if not for the actions of a daring few. Exiled from their home countries and summoned before a shadowy and perhaps sinister council, five wandering souls were charged with the task of finding the threat that had cut a bloody swath across the world for untold centuries.

Failure meant a fate worse than death – either at the claws of the beast or the hands of the council – but success would grant them an opportunity to be pardoned, and to go home into welcome arms.


Idea 1 would be horror/suspense/action based, with emphasis on the suspense and action aspects. Obviously set in the future, it definitely holds with my penchant for sci-fi.

Idea 2 would be the same, but set in a "modern" day setting - that is to say back in the early 1900s - and would concentrate more on the exiles' hunt versus the actual shaping of the world.

So tell me what you think: good, bad, tweaking, or whatever.

These look pretty interesting; definitely room for tons of action, which makes for pleasant writing. One thing: got any characters yet, or still working on that aspect?

I've got the main characters for each, the others will come with time as I need them.

Idea 1:
There's Naz and Zak, Tark and Lenore, Shun, Shin and Fraz, and each of them are connected, which Tark discovers as the book goes on.

Idea 2:
I came up with a tagline yesterday ... or maybe it was Friday ...
"6 Exiles, each the last of their kind. 5 members of a council that runs disturbing operations. One hunt that will decide the fate the of the future."
